Kylvölaatikot

Kylvölaatikot, often translated as seeding trays or seed starter trays, are containers used for germinating seeds and nurturing young seedlings. These trays are typically made of plastic and feature multiple small compartments or cells. Each cell is designed to hold a small amount of soil or growing medium, allowing for the propagation of numerous plants from a single tray.

The primary purpose of using kylvölaatikot is to provide a controlled environment for seeds to sprout and develop. The enclosed nature of the cells helps to maintain consistent moisture levels and temperature, which are crucial for successful germination. Many kylvölaatikot also come with transparent lids, which further trap humidity and create a mini-greenhouse effect, accelerating the sprouting process.

These trays are widely used by both amateur gardeners and commercial nurseries. They offer a space-efficient way to start a large number of plants indoors before transplanting them into larger pots or directly into the garden once they are strong enough. The individual cells also prevent overcrowding and allow for easy separation of seedlings without damaging their delicate root systems.

Kylvölaatikot come in various sizes and cell configurations, catering to different types of seeds and plant growth requirements. Some have larger cells for plants that require more space, while others have very small cells for tiny seeds. The material is usually durable and reusable, making them an economical choice for seed starting.
