What are plug plants?
A plug plant is an individually grown seedling which is cultivated in a separate growing area or pot. The most common way people buy plant plugs is in polystyrene plug trays which prepare the plants for commercial distribution. For gardeners growing their own plugs then there are many propagation trays and pots in similar size and design available, but the emphasis is on single seedlings cultivated in their own area so just small pots are fine.
You can also buy bio-degradable plant pots for planting small plugs and seedlings which just organically disperse into the soil once their roots grow out. This is so useful for gardeners and ideal when planting medium to larger sized plants but containing them in a greenhouse or propagating are first.
Plug plants therefore have wide-ranging appeal with experienced gardeners, those starting out and anyone who wishes to jump start the process working with established plants which is very useful for garden design.
Best of all there is very low risk with using plugs. So grow your own, give back to nature, improve your gardening skills and enjoy seeing plug plants mature!
