IHORT Q-Plug 40/40, 1.25" x 1.25", case of 2,100

Predrilled Propagation Plugs With a Peat, Coir, and Bio Char Blend

Poor stem-to-media contact slows rooting and leaves more room for cuttings to dry out or wobble loose before they've established. IHORT's 40/40 Q-Plug uses a custom blend of peat moss, coco coir, and bio char, predrilled to seat a stem or seed with better contact from the start.

Each plug measures 1.25 inch by 1.25 inch, with 2,100 plugs per case, balancing moisture and aeration for faster rooting and a higher transplant success rate.

Key Features & Benefits

• Predrilled design — improves stem-to-media contact compared to pressing a cutting into solid media.
• Peat, coir, and bio char blend — a proprietary mix formulated for propagation-stage moisture and aeration.
• Balanced moisture and aeration — supports faster rooting without waterlogging the plug.
• 2,100 plugs per case — each measuring 1.25 inch by 1.25 inch, sized for commercial propagation volume.

Who Should Use These Plugs

Commercial growers propagating from seed or cutting at volume who want a predrilled plug built from a proprietary peat, coir, and bio char blend.

About IHORT

IHORT formulates its 40/40 Q-Plug from a peat moss, coco coir, and bio char blend specifically for commercial-scale seed and cutting propagation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the plug made from?

It's a custom blend of peat moss, coco coir, and bio char. That formulation is designed specifically for propagation-stage moisture and aeration.

How many plugs come in a case?

2,100 plugs per case, each measuring 1.25 inch by 1.25 inch. That volume suits commercial propagation runs rather than small-batch home use.

Why are the plugs predrilled?

Predrilling improves stem-to-media contact during propagation compared to pressing a cutting into solid, undrilled media. Better contact at the base of the cutting supports faster, more even rooting.

How do I get the best rooting results from these plugs?

Seat the stem or seed fully into the predrilled hole so it makes solid contact with the media. Keep the plug's moisture level balanced afterward, rather than letting it dry out or stay saturated.
