Why Plug Volume Matters: The Root of All Growth
The earliest stage of plant life shapes everything that follows. When a clone begins to root, its environment determines whether it becomes a strong, resilient plant — or one that struggles from the start. Roots aren’t just “below the surface.” They are the engine of the plant. If that engine is restricted early, performance is restricted later. Simple as that.
That’s why the substrate volume of a propagation plug is so important. The roots need room — room to stretch, branch, breathe, and explore their new environment. Many plugs on the market give young clones about 30–40 cc of total space. That might work for very small young plants, but vigorous genetics quickly outgrow that space. When a root system meets its boundary too early, development slows down. The plant wants to grow — but its container says “not allowed.”
Quickplug Growplugs give the roots more freedom from the start. Each plug of the 77 Plug Tray contains 50 cc of stabilized substrate. That’s more than 30% additional room for root growth compared to typical products. That extra space allows roots to establish faster, fill the plug more completely, and transition into the final medium without stress or delay.
More space means better roots. Better roots mean better results. And better results mean more successful harvests.
This isn’t theory — it’s horticultural science in action.
Quickplug: Propagation Technology for Professionals
Quickplug isn’t a newcomer in this space. They are recognized across Europe as the propagation specialists in modern horticulture. Their bonded substrate plug technology is used in leading agricultural sectors — vegetables, ornamentals, hydroponics, aquaponics — by growers who simply cannot afford failures, delays, or inconsistency.
These growers expect reliability. Uniformity. Clean handling. A plug that does its job without excuses.
Our specially designed Quickplug Growplugs are built for exactly these expectations. They provide:
• Excellent moisture balance — preventing overwatering or underwatering
• High air capacity — promoting faster and stronger root development
• Consistent physical structure — each plug feels and performs the same
• Pre-formed planting holes — optimized for both seeds and cuttings
• Professional substrate composition — high-grade coir and peat without compromises
This is not a watered-down consumer alternative. It’s a premium plug for growers who want to elevate their propagation success — whether they run a large facility or a high-value homegrow setup.

Dry & Sealed: A Cleaner, Smarter Way to Store Propagation Plugs
Many growers have seen it happen: you open a pack of plugs that were delivered damp… and there’s mold. A few weeks of storage and the product quality drops- and that’s not so attractive to your customer.
Quickplug plugs are shipped dry and sealed. This design offers multiple advantages:
• Long shelf life — without quality loss
• Protection from contamination — hygiene is maintained from production to use
• Lightweight and easy to transport — no unnecessary water weight
• Guaranteed rewetting — once hydrated, they return to perfect moisture balance instantly
• Fungus prevention — dryness ensures no mold buildup during storage
Instead of hoping that plugs stay fresh, Quickplug guarantees it.
And when you’re ready to use them — add water, drain briefly, and let the plug do the moisture management for you. The technology inside stabilizes water and oxygen distribution automatically, giving roots exactly what they need without guesswork.
Two Tray Options — and Flexible Procurement for Every Grower
Not every project is the same. Space, workflow, and automation requirements differ from grower to grower. That’s why we offerstwo professional Quickplug formats:
Quickplug Growplugs 77-Tray
More volume per plug, ideal for stronger clones and high-performance cultivars.
Quickplug Growplugs 104-Tray
Higher density — great for space-efficient propagation and seedlings.
Both versions are:
• bonded for structural stability
• compatible with automated transplanting systems
• easy to handle, clean, and consistent
For large cultivation projects that use stock soon after delivery, the plugs can also be ordered unsealed at a sharper price point. That way, professional growers get tailored cost efficiency without losing product quality.
Transparency on the Label: Real Data, Real Confidence
What’s inside a plug matters. Quickplug doesn’t hide behind vague messaging or marketing slogans — all key technical values are printed right on the label:
• substrate composition
• bulk density
• moisture targets
• pore ratio
• EC and pH targets
This level of transparency isn’t common in the our market — but we strive to deliver honest quality, where data drives decisions and trust is earned through evidence.
Growers know exactly what they are working with. And that means they can rely on consistency from tray to tray, season after season.
Final Thoughts: Give Roots the Space to Win
If the root zone thrives, the plant thrives. Giving young clones more space and better balance in the earliest days can unlock their full potential.
Quickplug Growplugs do just that:
• More volume for faster and healthier root development
• Cleaner storage thanks to the dry & sealed concept
• Pro-grade performance trusted in agriculture
• Flexible formats for any scale of cultivation
Whether you’re a passionate homegrower or a commercial producer, Quickplug turns propagation into a professional process — consistent, clean, and optimized for success.
Better roots start here.
