We partnered with the inventor of Plant Pieā¢ to launch two new, innovative plant trays that leverage the success of the original Plant Pie growing system to provide more options for greenhouse wholesalers, garden centers, landscapers and home gardeners.
The original 8" and 11" Plant Pies feature a patent-pending product design that fosters astonishing, robust root generation.
Building on this success, we're excited to bring two new products to the market that utilize the same superior engineering in new formats for alternative growing applications.
The Muffin Tray also addresses issues that arise from growing plants in multi-cell trays. Using an innovative design, water is directed off the surface of the tray and into the plant cells, while also providing top-surface ventilation for upward air flow.
We've bundled the Plant Pie product suite into a category aptly named the Bakery Division. These containers are unique profit generators for users at every stage of the growing process.
The Bakery Division products save on soil and space, and thanks to their incredible root system they hold flowers and other plants like no other plastic container on the market - a significant advantage for growers and retail garden centers. The Plane Pies, Plant Loaf and Muffin Tray are each made from 100% reclaimed plastic and are recyclable after use. The plant trays are manufactured exclusively in our Clearwater (Minnesota) facility, and are distributed through our distributors.
The Plant Loaf and Muffin Tray products specifically enable greenhouses and garden centers to combine and sell plant groupings that are easy for home growers and landscapers to install.
For landscapers and home gardeners, the new Muffin Tray and Plant Loaf offer several advantages. These plant trays take the guesswork out of creating appropriate plant groupings and determining plant spacing, providing faster, easier installation.
Lastly, all Plant Pie trays are designed for easy planting. The plastic plant tray is pressed into the soil contained in a decorative pot, window box, or in the ground, creating an indentation and the plants are simply removed from the Plant Pie tray, dropped into the indentation made in the soil, covered and watered. Because the Plant Pie system creates roots that spread throughout the soil in the container, the plants and soil are easy to remove in one piece. No time is wasted digging individual holes or handling plants that can't be easily removed from their containers.
