Oasis Rootcubes 1.25 in, 104-Cell Sheets. Case of 20 Sheets, 2,080 Cubes

Oasis Root Cubes 1.25 in, 104 Cells per Sheet Each sheet in this case carries 104 cubes at 1.25 in, and the case holds 20 sheets for 2,080 cells in all. That cell count packs a lot of starts into one flat, which suits growers who run cuttings or seedlings in volume. The foam is an engineered hydrophilic medium that wicks water in quickly and lets the surplus drain from the base. Even when it is fully wet, the open cell structure keeps oxygen around the stem where callus and roots form. Oasis supplies it pH neutral, sterile and free of pathogens, with starter nutrients already in the foam. A pre-punched hole sits in the top of every cube, ready for a cutting or a seed. The sheets drop into a standard 10 x 20 tray, so they work with the flats and domes most propagation benches already use. Hydroponic growers lean on them for lettuce, tomato, herb and onion seed germination. Foliage plants, flowers and woody ornamentals root well in them from unrooted cuttings. A full case weighs about 6 lb. Starting Seeds and Cuttings in Rooting Cubes Rooting cubes need a full soak before anything goes in. Lay a sheet in its tray, flood it with water and let it drain until the foam is evenly damp. For seeds, drop one or two into each hole and keep the tray covered until they sprout. Lettuce and herbs often show roots through the base of the cube within a couple of weeks. For cuttings, take short tips, dip the cut ends in rooting hormone and push each one into its hole. A humidity dome and gentle bottom warmth help them callus without wilting. Water from below when the top of the foam starts to lighten in color. Avoid squeezing the cubes, since that crushes the air spaces the roots depend on. When roots poke out the sides, cut between the cubes with scissors or a knife. Each cube then goes whole into a net pot, rockwool block or soil, and the roots stay undisturbed.
