Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your trays, place them on a flat, level surface, ideally within a greenhouse or on a sunny windowsill. Fill the cells to the top with a moist seed compost. After sowing, monitor moisture levels daily, as deeper cells can sometimes dry out at the bottom if the mix is not sufficiently dense. After transplanting, clean the trays by rinsing them with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic. Once completely dry, store the trays stacked in a shed or garage, away from direct sunlight, to prolong the life of the material.
