The Seed Starting Kit
A seedling pot, a plant label and one Jiffy pellet. The easy way to start a seed on a sunny windowsill.
These are the large 50mm pellets, so roots have more room and more moisture before you transplant.
Tomatoes, peppers, basil and other herbs, flowers, and the seed in your grow kit.
Grab a single pellet to fill a gap or test a seed, or a 16 or 36 pack for a full tray.
No soil to measure and no cups to fill. Each pellet is its own seed pot, so every start is easy to label.
Set the pellet in warm water for about 15 minutes, until it is fully expanded. Pour off the extra water.
Make a small hole and plant a pre-soaked seed about 1 cm (under half an inch) deep. Cover it lightly.
Keep it warm and evenly damp, not soggy. Once it sprouts, give it light; a sunny window works.
When roots show at the netting and true leaves appear, plant the whole pellet in its pot or garden bed.

A Jiffy pellet is a flat disc of compressed peat moss held in thin netting. Soak it and it swells into a small, ready-to-plant seed pot. You sow a seed right in it, then plant the whole pellet when the seedling is ready.
These are the large 50mm (about 2 inch) Jiffy peat pellets. The bigger size gives roots more room and holds more moisture than the smaller pellets most stores sell, so seedlings can stay put a little longer.
About 15 minutes in warm water, or until it is fully expanded. Cold water takes longer. If the middle still feels hard, give it a gentle squeeze and wait a few more minutes. Pour off any extra water before you plant.
Plant about 1 cm (a little under half an inch) deep and cover lightly. Many gardeners sow one to three seeds per pellet and keep the strongest seedling. One fresh seed per pellet is fine. Tiny seeds need less cover, so check the packet.
Keep it damp, not soggy. Water from below: add a little water to the tray when the pellet turns lighter brown or feels light. A clear cover helps hold moisture until the seed sprouts; take it off once it does.
Most gardeners plant the pellet whole, and roots grow through the thin netting. If roots look crowded, you can gently slit the netting before you plant. Bury the pellet fully so the top does not dry out.
When roots show at the netting and the seedling has its first true leaves, usually a few weeks after sowing. Plant the whole pellet and firm the soil around it. Harden plants off first if they are going outdoors.
Yes. Choose 1 pellet to fill an empty slot or test a new seed. Starting a full tray? The 16 and 36 packs cost less per pellet. Many stores only sell multipacks, so this is the easy way to get exactly what you need.
