For many years now, the Jiffy team has traveled to America’s Heartland to participate in one of the horticulture industry’s largest global trade shows: Cultivate by AmericanHort.
Cultivate–which has earned a spot as one of the Top 100 trade shows by Trade Show News Network–brings around 10,000 attendees to Columbus, Ohio, each year, and features more than 500 exhibitors spanning over 8 acres of floor space!
Despite the size of the show, those who regularly attend Cultivate will tell you it feels like a family reunion of sorts because it’s where the industry reconnects with old friends. It’s also where we meet new contacts, and learn about the latest horticulture trends. Each year, our team at Jiffy comes away feeling inspired and motivated to continue producing best-in-class growing solutions for horticulture professionals throughout the world.
Here’s a breakdown of where our Jiffy team will be at the event, the innovative products we’ll be showcasing, and the topics we’re most looking forward to discussing with fellow attendees this summer:
Cultivate Event Details
- When: July 14-16, 2024

Jiffy’s Top-of-Mind Industry Topics
Jiffy is committed to providing solutions for growers who are utilizing tissue culture production–whether they are working with difficult-to-root plants such as orchids, or focused on year-round production with crops like tomatoes.
“With the strengthening demand for high-quality, disease-free plants, as well as an even greater push toward more sustainable growing methods and labor savings, we’re excited to share more at Cultivate about how Jiffy is really part of the movement to advance technologies and inputs to make tissue culture more attainable,” says Jiffy Preforma Product Manager Rick Mast.
What We’re Excited About Showcasing
Jiffy Preforma –

Jiffy will be opening a new Preforma factory in Portland, Oregon, later this fall! This expansion will enable us to more efficiently serve our West Coast and Latin American partners.
Jiffy also offers Peat-free Preforma options!
Jiffy Pots –
For growers looking for sustainable, zero-plastic potting options that also produce stronger roots–look no further than Jiffy Pots. Professional nurseries, landscapers, greenhouse growers, and hydroponic farmers have been relying on Jiffy Pots for years to save on re-potting headaches and prevent root disturbance and root-zone temperature fluctuations.
Did you know?
The first Jiffy Pot was invented in the early 1950s! It’s gone through quite a few advancements since then. Learn more about Jiffy Pots here.
If you’re looking for something different, we’ll also be presenting Jiffy Pot Original, Peat-free sphagnum moss Jiffy Pots, and Jiffy Speedypot options at Cultivate’24.
Jiffy Substrates –
Professional growers need reliable and consistent substrate compositions to ensure optimal yield, stability, nutrient supply, water retention, and plant quality.
At Jiffy, we’re incredibly proud that our substrate solutions are certified for:
- Organic use
- Biodegradability
- Quality
- Uniformity, and
- OMRI
… because it’s more important than ever that growers meet their increasing requirements for organic production, sustainability, biodegradability, and quality.
Did you know?
Flexistart is commercially available in North America (and open for trialing in Europe!)
The Flexistart substrate will help you save time, minimize waste, and ensure centered seed placement.
That’s because Flexistart is a proprietary, enriched substrate that transforms from a loose fill mix into a stabilized plug by adding water. Flexistart also works with any flat filling equipment, tray sizes, seeding or sticking methods, and even transplanting automation.
We’ve got many more substrate options for growers, too. Learn more about Jiffy Substrates, Jiffy GO range, Jiffy-Mix, TPS, FORMiT, and Peat-free Jiffy Substrates.
