Flexistart is the latest addition to Jiffy’s range of specialized growing media. It’s an enriched substrate that transforms from a loose fill mix into a stabilized plug by adding water. Flexistart offers proven performance in material, plug, and crop handling, with results that optimize labor efficiencies. Its flexibility is unmatched: it works with most flat filling equipment, tray size, seeding or sticking method, and transplanting machinery.
