How to Use the Jumbo Giga 1020 Up Pot Bundle

Quick answer

Use the Jumbo/Giga 1020 Up Pot Bundle to give seedlings extra root space before they become root-bound, leading to healthier transplants with stronger root systems.

Step-by-step up-potting guide

1. Prepare your workspace and materials: Set up the Jumbo/Giga 1020 Up Pot Bundle trays and inserts on a clean, level surface. Have your seedlings, potting mix, and a watering can ready. Common mistake: using wet or compacted soil. Moisten the potting mix slightly before filling trays.
2. Gently remove seedlings from their current containers: Water the seedlings an hour before transplanting. Carefully loosen the root ball by squeezing the container sides, then lift the seedling by its leaves (not the stem). Checkpoint: inspect roots for circling or crowding. If roots are tightly wound, gently tease them apart.
3. Place seedlings into the larger cells: Fill each cell of the Jumbo/Giga insert halfway with potting mix. Set the seedling in so the root crown sits just below the rim. Add more mix around the roots, firming lightly. Common mistake: planting too deep or too shallow. The root crown should be level with the soil surface.
4. Water and provide aftercare: Water the newly potted seedlings thoroughly from the bottom or with a gentle spray. Place them in bright, indirect light for a day or two to recover, then return to normal growing conditions. Checkpoint: avoid overwatering. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again.
