Propagation Rootrainers™


The Secret of Rootrainers 1


The main root grows straight down the grooved cell towards the large drainage opening at the bottom.


2


The root makes contact with the air and dies off.


3


The plant then compensates by producing new root growth, with no root balls.


ABOUT ROOTRAINERS™ Originally conceived as an invention to improve the success rate of conifers, the Rootrainer system is now in widespread use in many markets.


Rootrainers are the perfect start for nearly all plants, and especially those that are sensitive to disturbance and require deep root runs. Ideal for growing on seeds, seedlings, plugs and cuttings. The Rootrainer system is made up of deep seed trays, divided into separate segments known as ‘books’. They are unique because they open up like a book, for easy inspection and easy transplanting.


In the last 20 years, over 60 million Rootrainer cells have been sold to professional growers throughout the world and the resulting plants are now specified in many landscape and forestry contracts. Tildenet offers support to both large and small growers, advising on the use of Rootrainers for a wide variety of plants, from strawberries to potatoes, vines to date palms, conifers and quercus.


The enormous success of Rootrainers since their introduction in the UK and Europe and their widespread adoption for the growing of trees and shrubs as well as flowers, fruit and vegetables, is due to the many advantages they possess for nurseryman, foresters and horticulturists alike.


FLEXIBILITY


Rootrainers are available in a number of different sizes to accommodate the widest possible range of plant species. Rootrainers are the only modular system which allows plants to be spaced out without re-potting.


QUALITY


Rootrainers encourage optimum root formation including strong, straight roots, a fundamental requirement of healthy and successful growth.


The rectangular shape provides a greater surface area and the grooves allow more roots to develop on the outside of the plug. The air-pruning design means no root repairs — just fibrous straight roots.


PACKING AND PLANT DELIVERY


Rootrainer plants are easily extracted from the ‘open books’ without ‘shock’ (even when frozen), for grading, packing and transplanting.


The rectangular root plugs pack tightly into uniform bundles in plastic film for safe and economic delivery. Alternatively, high value plants can be delivered in the Rootrainers books, which provide optimum protection, using the custom designed Rootrainers Mail Packs.


ECONOMY


Less compost, healthier Plants! Rootrainers are reusable and are proven to have a long life — SIX and more years are common in many nurseries. Also books may be replaced individually when damaged without the need to discard the whole tray. Rootrainers mean less work and less compost.
