DL Wholesale DaPlug Sponge 98 Cell Break Away Cubes - 10 x 20-in Tray - 16 Count

Break-Apart Sponge Cubes for Easy Transplanting - 10 x 20-in Trays

Starting seeds and cuttings in a medium that dries out unevenly leads to weak roots and lost plants. DaPlug sponge cubes hold moisture while keeping air in the medium, and each cube breaks away from the tray so you can plant it directly into soil or a hydroponic system with the roots undisturbed.

This listing covers a 10 x 20-in tray format with 98 cells per tray. It suits growers who propagate on a regular schedule and want a ready-to-use medium that works for both seeds and clones, indoors or outdoors.

Key Features & Benefits

• 98 cells per tray — start many seeds or cuttings in one footprint.
• Break-away cubes — separate individual cubes and transplant without handling roots.
• Sponge texture — holds moisture while keeping air in the medium, which supports even dry-down between waterings.
• Soil or hydroponic use — move cubes into the system you run without changing media.
• Ready to use — pre-soak in a cloning or feeding solution before use.

Who Should Use DaPlug Sponge 98 Cell Break Away Cubes

Home gardeners and licensed commercial growers who propagate seeds or cuttings and want a single medium for soil and hydroponic systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to prepare the cubes before use?
A: Pre-soak them in a cloning or feeding solution before planting. This gets the medium evenly hydrated before seeds or cuttings go in.

Q: Can I use them in soil and hydroponics?
A: Yes. Break a cube from the tray and plant it directly into soil or a hydroponic system. Because the cube stays intact, roots are not disturbed at transplant.

Q: What does the white or green growth on the cubes mean?
A: The cubes can contain beneficial biocontrol organisms that may appear white and downy, then yellowish-green. The manufacturer describes this as beneficial growth rather than mold. Pre-soaking solution can reduce its appearance.

Q: Can I sterilize the cubes?
A: For sterile applications, the manufacturer says the cubes can be boiled before use. Use this approach when you do not want the biocontrol organisms present.

Q: How do I check moisture?
A: Squeeze a cube firmly. Warm conditions dry the cubes faster, so check more often when using heat.

Q: What does break-away mean?
A: The cubes are joined in a tray but separate cleanly by hand. You move one plant at a time.
