The Jiffypot is an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of plastic in horticulture. Pots are 100% degradable and approved for organic production, whilst being well suited to mechanical handling on the Nursery. Potting on is quicker as there is no root disturbance, so the growing period is normally reduced by several weeks compared to plants grown in plastic pots. There are no recycling or disposal costsQuicker Rooting: Quicker rooting is achieved because temperature fluctuations in the root zone are reduced.Reduced Water Consumption: Moisture is retained in the pot wall and can reduce the consumption of water by up to 20% in comparison to plastic pots when used in conjunction with the Jiffypot Tray, allowing shorter or less frequent irrigation cycles.
