The Jiffy-7C does away with all of it. Each one starts as a flat 30mm disc of compressed coco coir. Add water, and a few minutes later it has swelled into a firm, airy little plug, ready for a seed or a cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen roots appear through the net, you plant the \u003cstrong\u003ewhole plug\u003c\/strong\u003e, roots and all.
