Root Trainer

Root Trainer are conical cells having 5 to 6 ridges inside and a small drainage hole on the bottom. Root trainers are available singly or in a block with various volumes like 100, 150, 250, 300 cc each.

These blocks can be transported easily, are long lasting, require less growth medium and water. The application of fertilizer and insecticide is also easy in these Root Trainers.
