FAQs – 200 Cell Nursery Tray
Can I fill it with bhal mitti or regular garden soil?
It’s not recommended — heavy soil holds too much water. Use a seed starter mix or cocopeat blend for better germination.
Should I water from the top or bottom?
Bottom watering avoids disturbing delicate seeds. Remove excess water once the mix is moist; leaving it saturated can still cause root problems.
Can I place this tray in full sunlight?
Not during germination. Keep trays in filtered light or partial shade until seedlings grow stronger.
When is the right time to transplant seedlings?
Wait until plants have 2–3 proper leaves and firm roots. Then lift them gently from below.
How many times can I reuse this tray?
With careful use, it lasts for several seasons. Wash, dry, and avoid bending when storing.
