32-Cell Reusable Plant Starter Trays with Inserts
$41.99 - $141.99
32 Cell Seedling Tray Kit with 2.5 Inch Pots
Keep your seed starting streamlined and stable. This system uses our heavy-duty 32 cell tray to hold individual 2.5 inch pots securely in place, preventing tipping and keeping everything organized. The full tray nests inside a standard 1020 shallow tray without holes for clean, efficient bottom watering.
Use these pots to sow directly or for up-potting when seedlings outgrow smaller cells. Either way, you get better stability, easier handling, and more room for strong root development.
Available in classic black or a multicolor mix including blue, pink, purple, green, and orange.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Is it possible to get this design in a larger size like 16 pots per tray. I have seen them at my local greenhouse and asked about them all the worker would tell me is they came from the grower supplier.
We do not currently have that size available but we are working to design one. If you join our mailing list you will be notified when we launch new products.

It mentions these can be used with the shallow tray for watering. Is there a reason the deep tray can't be used?
The 32 cell tray is 2.25" deep and the deep 1020 trays are 2.5" deep. This leaves .25" of space between the trays. Because the shallow tray is 1.25" deep, the 32 cell tray will rest on the bottom of the shallow tray, making bottom watering much more effective.
-
What are the dimensions of these trays?
- Each cell measures 2” square by 2” deep. Outer Dimensions: 21 1/4” x 11 1/4” x 2” Deep
-
Can these seed starting cells/pots be washed in a dishwasher? I'm getting ready to clean them all up for winter storage and wondered if I could run them through a dishwasher after I've rinsed them all out of course. Thanks!
You can use the top rack of the dishwasher. Be sure to turn off the heated dry feature.
-
Do the 32-CELL REUSABLE PLANT STARTER TRAYS WITH INSERTS work best with the 1020 shallow or deep trays for bottom watering? Also canthey be used with 1020 humidity domes? Thanks.
They work best with the shallow trays for bottom watering. They can be used with humidity domes but they sit on the lip of the cell tray this way and not on the rim of the bottom tray.
-
Will this 32 cell tray fit in a shallow 1020 tray?
The 32-cell tray with inserts is designed to work with shallow 1020 trays without holes (bottom tray for watering).
-
how necessary is the dome for seed germination ....also how long is the heat mat used in the germination process
Humidty domes aren't totally necessary but are a great add to any seed starting set-up. Humidty domes can increase germinate rates and keep your environment moist. This is especially good for crops that enjoy hot temps.
-
Are extra inserts available separately for purchase?
Yes the 2" insert pots are available here: https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/collections/seed-trays/products/starter-pots-2in-extra-strength
-
Does the humidity dome fit this 32 cell tray?
The domes will fit but they will sit on top of the inserts rather than on the 32 cell tray.
-
what is the dimension for the tray? i see that this tray has openings on the bottom. is there one that is not? maybe a flat tray?
Our 32 cell tray is still a 10x20 tray so that it can nest inside our flat 1020 with no holes. The cells are 2" wide and the tray is 2.25" deep with a hole at the bottom of each cell.
-
Hi there, What are the dimensions of the individual inserts? Thank you!
They are 2"x2" on the top and 3" tall. They are about 1.75" on the bottom.
-
Just to confirm, the seed starting pots are the 2.5” pots that you can purchase separately, correct?
Yes, that is correct. They are the same pot.
-
Are the inserts the 2.5x2.5x3 inserts, or are they smaller?
The pots are 2.5x2.5x3, which are also found here separately: https://www.bootstrapfarmer.com/products/starter-pots-2in-extra-strength?_pos=1&_sid=d632ab9c2&_ss=r

Are the inserts 3" deep? I want to grow prairie plants and need depth the roots.
