Propagation and Growing Supplies

OASIS® Wedge® growing medium is now available for shipment. The Wedges taper in shape from top to bottom. This unique shape aids in directing root development downward for rapid root development, resulting in greater crop turnover and overall productivity for the grower. In transplanting, the Wedge product minimizes the need for dibbling. Each cell is singulated, therefore there is no tangling of the fibrous root systems. Products come preloaded in tray and are immediately ready to use by a grower upon receipt.

Features and Benefits:

• Sterile medium arrives pathogen-free, to reduce disease and insect problems
• Ready to use in numerous configurations right out of the box
• Engineered for optimal cell-to-cell performance,
assuring proper drainage and water holding
• Unique “Universal” star dibble hole accommodates most stem sizes for ease of sticking
• Roots remain undisturbed during transplant,
eliminating plant shock
• Low cation exchange capacity for rapid nutrient availability

The wedges I am offering are the larger wedges that come 10 to a strip. Six of these strips will fit in a standard 10 x 20 tray, with some gaps. If you want to put them in a smaller container to take cuttings, it is quite easy to cut them apart. They measure 1-1/2" x 1-5/16" x 2" deep. The cuttings can grow much larger in these, and make plants that are ready to go into the ground without having to be put into another pot.

Complete instructions for starting dahlias from cuttings will be included with the Oasis. In addition to dahlia cuttings, they are excellent to use to root other plants.

Each strip - $1.00

Shipping - up to 6 strips - $6.00 7 - 18 strips - $9.00

In the interest of keeping shipping reasonable, oasis will be shipped via Parcel Post.
