Oasis 102-Cell Tray & Medium, case of 10

Tapered WEDGE Cells Engineered for Faster, Cleaner Root Development, 102-Cell

Root tangling between adjacent cells is one of the more common causes of transplant shock in high-volume propagation, since pulling apart tangled roots at transplant damages the very structures a cutting just spent days growing. Oasis WEDGE growing medium is shaped to taper from top to bottom, directing root growth downward within each singulated cell instead of letting roots spread sideways into neighboring cells.

This case of 10 pre-filled 102-cell trays arrives loaded with sterile medium and ready to use straight out of the box, giving commercial propagators a consistent, disease-reduced starting point across every tray in the case.

Key Features & Benefits

• Tapered WEDGE shape — directs root growth downward for faster, more uniform development
• Singulated cells — prevents root tangling between adjacent cells at transplant
• Star-shaped dibble hole — accommodates a range of stem sizes for cloning many crop types
• Pre-assembled, sterile medium — ready to use immediately upon receipt, no mixing or pre-treatment needed
• Case of 10 trays — 102 cells per tray for high-volume propagation runs

Who Should Use This Tray System

Commercial propagators who want a sterile, ready-to-use cloning medium with reduced disease pressure and minimal transplant shock will benefit most from standardizing on this tray format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cells are in each tray?

Each tray has 102 singulated cells, and this case includes 10 trays. That works out to just over 1,000 individual cloning sites across the full case.

Does this come pre-loaded with medium?

Yes, every tray arrives pre-assembled with sterile WEDGE medium already in place, ready to use as soon as it's unpacked. There's no separate medium to purchase or load into the tray yourself.

What does the star-shaped dibble hole do?

It accommodates a range of stem diameters, which makes this tray suited to cloning many different crop types rather than a single stem size. The shape holds a cutting snugly without crushing thinner stems.

How does the tapered shape help at transplanting?

Because each cell is singulated and the medium tapers downward, roots grow toward the base of the cube instead of spreading sideways into neighboring cells. That reduces the root tangling that otherwise causes transplant shock when cubes are separated.

Is this medium sterile when it arrives?

Yes, the medium is sterile and pre-loaded into the tray, so there's no additional preparation before inserting cuttings. Starting from a sterile medium also reduces disease pressure compared to reused or field-sourced propagation media.
