Discover the Secret to Thriving Orchids: The Xcellent Auto Plug®

Orchid enthusiasts and commercial growers alike understand the challenges of successfully propagating these elegant plants. Orchids are renowned for being delicate and demanding, requiring specialised care and attention throughout their life cycle.

One of the most critical stages in orchid cultivation is the propagation process, which involves nurturing young tissue culture plants and ensuring that they develop into healthy, mature specimens. To achieve this, growers need a reliable and effective plug system designed specifically for orchid cultivation – and that's where the Xcellent Auto 40 Plug® and the propagation trays come in.

Propagating from tissue culture can be daunting, requiring specialised propagation trays and propagation mixes that offer just the right conditions for successful growth. Traditional plug systems may not provide the optimal environment for orchids, leading to uneven growth, poor root development, and, ultimately, disappointing results. With so many options on the market, how do you know which is best for your precious lab plants?

Introducing the Xcellent Auto 40 Plug®, a coir-based loose plug crafted specifically for orchid propagation. Its unique design and features and its propagation trays ensure optimal root structure and uniform growth, making it the top choice for cultivating orchids from tissue culture. Developed by industry experts with years of experience in orchid cultivation, the Xcellent Auto Plug® is the result of extensive research and testing, designed to address the specific needs of orchid growers and provide exceptional results.
