Seed + Cloning Plugs
Seed + Cloning Plugs
Whether you're using soil or hydroponics, your clones and seedlings need extra care while their roots are still in early root development. Our large collection of cloning and seed starter plugs ensures your little plants get off to the best possible start....
Stock the Essentials
From grow trays, Stonewool plugs, cubes, and blocks to replacement inserts and pellet refills, we carry it all here at GrowerHouse. Most of these grow medium types are used because they can hold water and moisture. High humidity is vital during the first week as the roots begin to get established and are not yet developed enough to handle dry conditions.
Bundle for Convenience
Propagation kits offer everything your little plants need in one package, while our selection of starter plugs and pellets is a great way to start straight from seed or small cuttings without harming fragile young plants.
Grow with Confidence
They're easy to use, ready when you are, and ideal for growers looking for fast, healthy growth and success in every transplant. Get access to everything you need for strong, wet starts and happy seedlings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between cloning and seeds?
Cloning and seeds are two methods of plant propagation that differ primarily in genetics and growth. Seeds result from sexual reproduction, producing genetically diverse plants that can develop taproots and adapt to environments, but take longer to mature.
Cloning involves taking cuttings from a parent plant to create genetically identical offspring. It offers faster growth and uniform traits but a higher risk of disease transmission. Thus, seeds provide diversity and resilience, while clones ensure consistency and speed.
How do you clone a seed plant?
To clone a seed plant, you typically take a cutting—a piece of stem, leaf, or shoot—from the parent plant and encourage it to develop roots in water, soil, or another medium under the right conditions.
Other common methods include grafting, layering, and tissue culture. The latter involves growing plant tissues in a sterile, nutrient-rich environment to produce identical plants.
These techniques produce new plants genetically identical to the parent, bypassing the genetic variation seen in propagation.
What are the advantages of cloning plants?
Cloning plants offers several advantages: it produces many genetically identical plants with predictable traits, ensuring uniformity in growth, appearance, and yield. This method allows plants that are difficult to grow from seed rapidly propagate and can help conserve rare or endangered species.
Cloning also enables the selection and maintenance of disease-resistant or high-yield varieties, and the resulting plants can be easily transported and grown in any season or location.
Plant cloning streamlines cultivation and harvest, supports genetic modification for improved traits, and provides consistency for commercial growers and conservation efforts.
