## Questions & Answers

**Q: Im new to these, can someone give me instructions? To water or not? to soak seeds prior? etc... it would sure help!**
A: As long as the rapid rooter is still moist just plant the seed directly into it.  If it has dried out give it a quick soak. 5 minutes should be more than enough.  Do NOT prestart the seeds on a paper towel. That is literally a grade three science project, not how any serious gardener/farmer would ever do it.    Put them under lights immediately, even though the seeds haven't started yet. That will speed germination and prevent stretching when they do sprout.  Leafy greens and herbs 12h/ day, tomatoes/peppers/the other thing 18h/day.  NEVER 24h/day.  Start with the Fluorescent light 3-4 inches above the rooters and let the seedlings grow up to 1-2 inches. raise the lights to maintain 1-2 inches distance.

**Q: Will these work in the HydroFarm float trays?  Will they fit? I'm concerned because one of the reviews mentioned something about them being square.**
A: They will work fine in many trays, you just want to assure that you have not compressed the cell of the rooting plug, as this will cause a defeciency of oxygen and over-abundance of moisture which will lead to slow rooting or worse disease/death.   The plug must fit into the tray without the much of the sides being exposed or the roots will die as the emerge.  If you try to incorporate two cloning techniques (float tray/plug progation your gonna have issues as these plugs should never be saturated.    I also agree with Williams answer, using the chopsticks and that these plugs work better that others, and I've tried several.  If you poke a hole with a stick, just make usre that the cut stem doesn't extend past the plug.  Root Riot plugs have performed closer, but I still live these a little more.  My expereience with cloning machines leads me to disagree with Sugarfoot09's answer, as I went from having 99% good cutting yields to less than 75% with an EZ clone machine (which I now use as a $400, 18g reservoir...LOL).  If I want to root a cutting but do not want to have the start to be in a plug, I will support a cutting directly into a tray with water and add a couple air stones, enough to keep the water bubbling around the stem.  I use RO water (ph +/- 6  PPM >40), no pH adjustment, no rooting additives, and no cloning gels or powders. This is what the float trays are mimiking.If I use the peat puck trays, which contain no insert to support the plug, I cut down an insert tray to fit.  I only use these smaller trays if I want to save space or need to seperate plants at my cloning station.  Cloning is very easy, keep it simple and you'll do fine.

**Q: Will this fit. In my Aero Garden holes?**
A: If your holes are at least 1.5 inches in diameter then yes. They are 1.5 x 2 inches tall.

**Q: CAN BE USED FOR ROSE SEEDS?**
A: Dear Samuel, I believe those plugs are appropriate for rose as well as for any kind of small seed. It provides the media the seeds need to sprout and create the first root systems. I hope it can help you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They Actually Work — Even for People Without a Green Thumb
*by S***N on August 8, 2025*

Pros: Very high success rate with cuttings and seedlings Pre-moistened and ready to use out of the bag Stays moist for days — no constant watering needed No mold issues (even in humid Florida!) Excellent quality and well-constructed Great for beginners — super easy to use Produces stronger, healthier plants Cons: Bag arrives a bit damp — might be a turn-off for some Moisture in the bag could be a concern if storing long-term They Actually Work — Even for People Without a Green Thumb Believe it or not, these Rapid Rooter starter plugs have completely changed my gardening game. I don’t even have a green thumb (yet!), and I’m still getting fantastic results with these. Whether it’s for cuttings or seedlings, these plugs are super easy to use, and I’ve had a much higher success rate than I ever expected. They come pre-moistened, which honestly is kind of a plus and a minus. It’s convenient, but it might catch you off guard when you first open the bag. That said — I’m in humid Florida, and I’ve had zero mold issues, which is impressive. The plugs stay moist, the quality is solid, and my plants seem stronger and healthier coming out of these. Total game changer for me. If you’re even thinking about propagating anything, this is a product you’ll be glad you tried.
