A multiple cell horticulture propagation tray arranged in rows of star-shaped cells forming a substantially rectangular shaped tray having the cells formed therein, combined with inserted cylindrically shaped growing media plugs comprising primarily of peat moss with an amount of biochar, and enveloped to retain moisture within the growing media.
A multiple cell horticulture propagation tray arranged in rows of star-shaped cells forming a substantially rectangular shaped tray having the cells formed therein, wherein each of said cells comprise:
- a cup having a star-shaped top rim and a star-shaped bottom perimeter;
- flutes each extending from a point of the star-shaped top rim to a corresponding point of the star-shaped bottom perimeter;
- the flutes running from top rim to bottom perimeter comprise inwardly radiused indentations that reduce the amount of interior space within the cell;
- the sides of each cell are tapered such that the distance between opposite sides of the top rim is larger than the distance between sides of the bottom perimeter;
- the fluted indentations running from top rim to bottom perimeter are narrower near the top rim and wider near the bottom perimeter;
- a hole in the bottom surface;
- and at least one nib on the bottom exterior surface that provides a fluid path from the interior of the cell to space beneath the bottom exterior surface.
A growing media plug adapted for insertion into a cell of a horticulture propagation tray, the growing media plug comprising primarily of peat moss mixed with an amount of biochar.
