Modular Avocado, Cutting & Leaf Propagation
Print Profile(1)
Description
This is a modular avocado seed and plant propagation holder designed to fit different container sizes.
The system allows you to grow avocado seeds and propagate plant cuttings in water at the same time.
The design includes three different plate types (A, B, and C) with different hole sizes for various seed sizes and plant cuttings.
There are also small holes designed for plant leaves or cuttings, which makes this system suitable for plant propagation such as Zamioculcas (ZZ plant), pothos, and other plants that can root in water.
The modular design allows you to combine plates in different ways to fit different container sizes.
Plate Types & Hole Sizes
Type A holes: 28 mm / 30 mm / 18 mm / 7 mm
Plate size: 110 × 70 × 17.5 mm
Type B holes: 18 mm / 7 mm
Plate size: 110 × 70 × 17.5 mm
Type C holes: 30 mm / 18 mm / 7 mm
Plate size: 110 × 35 × 17.5 mm
Container Compatibility
- Type A fits in container: 111 × 71 mm
- Type B fits in container: 111 × 71 mm
- Type C fits in container: 111 × 36 mm
- Combination A + B fits in container: 111 × 142 mm
- Combination A + B + C fits in container: 111 × 181 mm
This allows you to scale the system depending on your container size.
