Root Riot 1500 Count Bulk Box | Peat Starter Cubes for Seeds and Clones

Root Riot 1500 Count Bulk Box for Commercial Propagation

This bulk box packs 1,500 starter cubes into one case for propagation rooms that stick cuttings every week. The case weighs about 57 lb and measures 22 x 22 x 10 in, so it stores on a pallet rack or under a bench. Each cube is a 36 mm block of naturally composted, fine-milled sphagnum peat with a pre-formed planting hole. The peat is worked into a sponge that holds air and water around the stem at the same time. Cubes arrive pre-moistened and pH balanced at 6.0, ready to load into 50-cell inserts straight from the box. One box fills thirty of those inserts, enough to carry a weekly clone schedule for a good stretch. On the bench, cut softwood tips diagonally below a node and strip them to a couple of leaves. Dip each stem in rooting gel and set it in the hole only far enough to stand without support. Mist, dome the trays and mist again every other day to keep humidity up. Seed lines take the same cube, one seed per hole, kept warm until germination.

Propagation Cubes Sized for a Weekly Clone Schedule

At this volume, storage decides how well the last cube performs. Keep unused cubes sealed between sessions, somewhere cool and dark. Cubes left in open air dry out, and each one then needs a soak in lukewarm water before use. In the tray, the peat dries back evenly from edge to center, which keeps a full bench uniform. A quick squeeze shows where it stands, since moisture should just reach the surface. Water and drain well when it does not, and check more often under heat mats or in a warm room. Every cube holds its shape through rooting, which matters when a crew transplants hundreds in a session. Rooted cubes move whole into soil, coco or a hydroponic system with no transfer step. They stay stable in recirculating setups and will not clog filters. Root Riot is also safe for use in food production environments, so vegetable and herb starts can run on the same stock.
