Jiffy Group is excited to announce our participation in the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show (MANTS) at the Baltimore Convention Center, January 8-10, 2025. Having attended this esteemed show for several years, we continue to be dedicated to providing sustainable plant-growing solutions that help feed and beautify the world. Our diverse range of products includes pots, pellets, coir products, substrates, and plugs.
Find us at Booth #2221, where we will inform attendees about our solutions for the nursery, greenhouse, and landscape markets.
Preforma Quickly Roots Hydrangeas and Other Nursery Crops
Hydrangea nurseries growers at MANTS will discover how our Preforma plugs can transform their propagation processes. Due to their unique ingredients and production process, Preforma plugs create a bonded liner with 30%+ porosity. By managing water effectively and avoiding excess moisture, growers experience much shorter rooting times along with healthier roots and plants.
Additionally, Preforma’s bonded media format allows growers to transplant uniform hydrangeas and other nursery crops on their schedule. The plugs reduce or eliminate the risk of transplant shock, even with a young rooted liner.
Jiffy Pots: Affordable, Biodegradable, and Ideal for Nurseries
In addition to the benefits of Preforma, Jiffy Pots offer a sustainable and practical solution for hydrangea and nursery growers. Whether growing hydrangeas, trees, shrubs, or perennials, Jiffy Pots allow for faster and stronger rooting compared with plastic pots—without the need to de-pot. Jiffy's biodegradable pot composition reduces landfill waste while supporting healthy, non-disturbed root growth at any stage.
Annuals, perennials, and nursery crops grown in Jiffy Pots also experience fewer root-zone temperature fluctuations compared to plastic pots. Whether you prefer the benefits of peat or coir, Jiffy Pots provide a comprehensive solution for successful and sustainable cultivation.
Jiffy Pots were established with a commitment to sustainability, and we proudly celebrated their 70th anniversary in 2023. As we head into 2025, we look forward to building on our long-standing success in providing growers with eco-friendly products that enhance cultivation practices.
Discover the Advantages of Jiffy Propagation Trays for Nurseries
At MANTS 2025, we will also be available to discuss the solutions that Jiffy’s signature, tried-and-true Propagation Trays provide to nursery growers. These trays securely hold Jiffy Pellets, which combine open-wall containers and growing media. Developed with input from professional foresters and nursery specialists, the trays feature a wall-less construction that enables plants’ primary root systems to benefit from 360-degree air pruning.
Unlike hard-walled trays, where seedling roots can deflect at the container’s edges, leading to root deformation or the formation of a woody mass, Jiffy Propagation Trays promote uninhibited taproot growth. Lateral roots remain healthy and well formed, ensuring optimal root development.
By allowing root tips to be pruned naturally by surrounding air as they emerge through the PLA (polylactic acid) netting of Jiffy Pellets, the trays support productive rooting. After transplanting, nursery plants avoid transplant shock, as their lateral roots continue to grow horizontally without interruption. This eliminates the need for labor-intensive and costly mechanical pruning, making Jiffy Propagation Trays a highly efficient solution for growing trees, shrubs, and perennials.
Get acquainted with our solutions for nursery crops, annuals, and perennials by meeting us at MANTS, Booth #2221. We will be glad to work with you.
