Plug Information

Home/Store/Plug Information

Q: What is a plug? A: A plug is a young starter plant.

Benefits of growing from plugs: Alternative for seeds that are difficult to germinate (is that you Lisianthus?); some plants can only be started from cuttings and tissue culture and only available as plugs; saves time; great for beginner gardeners & flower farmers, great for succession planting; easy way to try new plants.

Plug sizes are based on the amount of cells in the cell flats they are grown in. We primarily sell sizes 384, 288, 200, 144, 72 & 50. Generally, the larger the number, the smaller the plug, so a size 384 plug will be smaller than a 144, but they are exceptions. For example, a size 72 might be larger than a 50 based on the dimensions of the cell.

Small Quantities: Since we cater to gardeners and small scale farmers, we sell smaller quantities of plugs. A 384 flat holds 384 plant plugs, and will be too much for someone wanting to plant 20 or 40 plants. We'll sell the 40 plugs from the 384 cell flat making it easier for our customers to try more varieties and colors without the commitment to large numbers. On every product, we note the size of the original cell flat.
