Buying Guide: Seed Starting Supplies

Peat Pots and Pellets
Jiffy peat pots dissolve over time, so you can transplant the whole pot with the seedling. Bottom slits promote drainage and strong root development. Peat pellets expand to form a pot and soil when you add water.

Seed Starting Kits and Greenhouses
Seed starting kits include cell counts such as 20 Cells and 50 Cells, along with peat pellets or cells in a base tray. The self-watering peat pellet greenhouse uses a reservoir and water-wicking mat that keeps seeds moist for up to 10 days.

Domes and Planting Trays
The TDome grow dome measures 11 x 22 in. and acts as a mobile greenhouse for seedlings while letting sunlight in. The Jiffy Plant Tray is reusable, watertight and made from recyclable plastic, and can be used with Jiffy pots, pellets and strips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Jiffy make?
Jiffy offers seed starting peat pots, peat pellet greenhouse kits, plastic planting trays and a seedling dome. The peat items are designed to go straight from indoors into the ground or a container. The trays and dome help seedlings grow indoors or on a windowsill.

How do I choose the right size?
Compare the cell count or dimensions with your tray or planned setup. Measure your tray before ordering a dome, since the TDome measures 11 x 22 in. Check how many seeds you plan to start so you can pick a kit with enough cells.

Are the peat pots biodegradable?
Yes, the peat pots are biodegradable and dissolve over time, so you can plant the whole pot with the seedling. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for planting and check the needs of your plant before transplanting.
