Superior substrate performance
The new Oasis RhizoPlug Sheet Propagation Kit features Oasis RhizoPlug Sheet propagation media, a next-generation engineered substrate designed for superior commercial performance and results. The benefits of the substrate include easy, damage-free cutting insertion; faster cutting/clone rehydration; and vigorous, uniform rooting. Developed to simplify propagation and support success for professional propagators, it now does the same for home growers as well.

“Our engineered sheet substrates have had a very dedicated following among small-scale hobby growers for many years,” noted Vijay Rapaka, Ph.D., Director of Global Grower Operations and Research for Oasis Grower Solutions parent company, Smithers-Oasis. “With this kit, we’re bringing the latest technology to those devoted users — technology that significantly outperforms its predecessor.”

Independent garden centers and other retailers will also appreciate the broad appeal of the new kit. “We’re all aware of the millions of new gardeners who fell in love with plants during the pandemic and stuck around,” Dr. Rapaka added. “As those gardeners continue to mature, they’re naturally curious about propagation. This kit can help support their success and strengthen their connection to horticulture and garden retailers.”

The new Oasis RhizoPlug Sheet Propagation Kit contains 2 – 1020 trays (one primary tray with drainage holes, one solid bottom tray); 1 – 50-count or 104-count Oasis RhizoPlug Sheet propagation substrate; and an Instruction sheet for proper use and optimal results.
