For several years in gardening stores, you can buy rings of compressed and fertilized peat surrounded by a flexible plastic mesh.. These are the so-called. Jiffy pots. They have a different diameter, thickness and different pH. Placed in a shallow container with water, they swell quickly and you can put seeds in them after just a few minutes, shoot cuttings or even
fine onions and tubers, np. oxalis. The mesh protects the peat from scattering and allows the roots to spread freely to the sides. When the roots have overgrown the entire substrate, the plant can be moved to a larger pot or right into the garden and placed to that depth, so that the entire mesh is covered with earth. Thanks to the Jiffy pots, the root system is not damaged.
