Why the root zone matters
A coir plug should hold together sufficiently for handling without becoming overheld.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Check plug cohesion and root development before lifting.
- Prepare the destination before removing seedlings from trays.
- Compare handling damage and establishment in a small trial.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
What breaks down?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Plug crumbles
Review nursery readiness and extraction technique before planting the full batch.
Roots are torn during lifting
Inspect tray attachment and support the plug during removal.
Plants wait exposed before planting
Reorganise the workflow to reduce time between extraction and planting.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Record survival and new growth by handling batch to identify avoidable losses.
Keep in mind
Do not pull seedlings out by the stem to speed up transplanting.
