Oasis Rootcubes 1.5 in, 50-Cell Sheets | Case of 20 Sheets, 1,000 Cubes

Oasis Rootcubes 1.5 in, Case of 20 Sheets This case holds 20 sheets of Oasis foam propagation cubes, each with 50 cubes at 1.5 in, for 1,000 cubes in all. The cubes are made from an engineered hydrophilic foam that soaks up water fast and drains off the excess. That keeps the base of a cutting moist while leaving air around the stem for new roots. Oasis makes the foam pH neutral and pathogen free, with starter nutrients built in. Every cube comes with a pre-punched hole, so cuttings drop straight in without extra prep. The sheets fit an industry-standard 10 x 20 tray, which keeps a full batch tidy under a dome. Rootcubes suit softwood cuttings of houseplants, herbs, flowers and vegetables. They are also used for hydroponic seed germination of crops like lettuce, tomatoes, herbs and onions. When the cuttings are ready, cut the individual cubes apart and transplant them into soil or a soilless medium. The case weighs about 6.1 lb, light enough to stack on a propagation shelf. Rooting Cuttings in Foam Rooting Cubes Foam rooting cubes work best when they are fully saturated before the first cutting goes in. Set the sheet in its tray and soak it with plain water or a cutting solution until the foam is evenly wet. Let the excess drain so the cubes feel moist but not soggy. Take 3 to 5 inch cuttings from the growing tips and dip the cut ends in rooting hormone. Slide each one into a pre-punched hole, deep enough to stand on its own. Keep the tray warm, moist and in low light for the first few days. Day temperatures around 75°F and nights around 65°F suit most cuttings. Mist or sprinkle water whenever the top of the foam starts to dry. Once roots show through the sides, cut the cubes apart with scissors or a knife. Transplant each cube whole, so the young roots are never disturbed.
