Take the guesswork (and the stress!) out of cuttings with the exact plugs we use here at The Olde Creamery. Looking for Refills we have them listed here.
Preforma plugs are our go-to choice for propagating dahlia cuttings (and other tricky plants) thanks to their superior structure and consistent results. Each plug retains an air content of 30% or more, preventing compaction — even under heavy misting. This means better aeration, faster callus formation, and strong, uniform root development every time.
The unique binder structure ensures that when it's time to pot up, there's zero transplant shock, allowing you to ship or move them on earlier. By transplanting sooner, you’ll free up valuable bench space, rotate your crops more efficiently, and get more plants growing!
These 30mm plugs come pre-drilled with a hole or a small slit, making them ready to use straight away — just dip your cutting, pop it in, and watch the magic happen.
