10 Reviews: Best Self-Watering Seed Starter (Jan 2021)

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best, and if that's a sentiment you agree with, this seed starter kit from Jiffy should appeal. It comes with 50 cells which let you start your gardening experience without clutter. Your purchase includes pellets that expand to form pot and soil in one. Your seeds will grow faster!

Great performance from this tray. We grow seedlings in our basement every spring for our raised beds and we have used this brand the last several years. We have tried others including simple potting soil in containers but nothing has beat the way these sprout seeds and keeps them in moist conditions.

If 50 cells are too much for you, you can try the KORAM10-Pack Seed Starter Trays which each comes with 6 cells. You will get a watertight base tray, humidity dome, plant label, seedling dibber, and seedling widger along with the seed trays, making transplanting a breeze.

They work every time! Follow the directions. Use Seed mix. My tomatoes are almost 6 feet tall now. All of my seeds eventually germinated. I used a heat mat underneath to help speed the process. I used these for herbs, veggies and flowers. I love the little green tool which helps with digging the hole and lifting out the new plant.

It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an expert at this game, this Window Garden seed starting kit will make your transplanting experience much simpler and more practical. The package includes three mini greenhouse trays with fiber soil pods that allow you to plant seedlings directly in the soil with no root disturbance.

I love these seed starter kits. They are easy to use with no mess to clean up. Like not dealing with potting soil and pots to start seeds. With the green house effect every one of my Sun flower seeds germinated quickly and grew. Transplanting also very easy and clean.

Back with products from Ferry-Morse, the Jiffy T14H Seed Starter Kit has a 50mm diameter for each cell, ideal for tomatoes and peppers. The combination of the humidity dome with the watertight base plastic tray creates a moist and warm environment needed for reliable seed germination. With an affordable price, you can provide a decent bed for your prospective plants.

Seemed a little expensive at first, but definitely worth the extra money. Very easy to use, and should be able to reuse several times buy buying extra 50mm seed starters

Still with Tiffy, this tray was created for those of you who need a compact pot. This self-watering tray has 70 slots for your little seeds so they don't fight over food. It features a special reservoir that keeps seeds moist for up to 10 days! It means that your seeds have a chance to grow and will reward you with fruit more quickly.

Sticking my clones into these pellets with jiffy organic potting mix around them in a small biodegradable sitting in a little water ( THANK YOU )

This is another great seed starter kit that is ideal for growing all kinds of plants in your home. The innovative design can be seen from its built-in humidity adjustment window on the top which you can adjust as needed. This MIXC kit includes ten sets of trays, bases, and domes which means you can plant up to 60 seeds at once.

I am so happy I went for this! The plastic is not flimsy but not super sturdy, but for the price is more than perfect, I am ordering this again in a different size, I love how it is compact and the clear inside tray to see the roots makes it even better! You will not regret this buy!

This one comes in a sleek, 72-cell pack. Suitable for you who have limited land. This house can give your plants warmth with its waterproof heat mat. Therefore, your plants can continue to grow even though you are starting in the early Spring when it is still cool outdoors.

I grow a big garden. I use to buy all my different plants but now I grow my own from seed. This lil unit is great to get you started with your seeds. Germinates them quickly. Two thumbs up. Go by directions on heating Matt, I learned the hard way.. lol

Who says there is no stylish house for your seeds? This self-watering seedling starter by Anne Fletcher is made with gorgeous cork, terracotta, and glaze placed anywhere, from the kitchen window sill to the front porch. It wicks water from the reservoir to give seedlings just the right amount of moisture so there won't be root rot. Water once a week and let them bloom.

Really love the design and function of this seedling grower. Seeds came up in a few days. The material of clay used to make this and the reusable nature of this are both sustainable. Highly recommend!

The quality of the Burpee Self-Watering Seed Starter Tray has been proven by thousands of users. It has received a lot of praise for its ease of use. Your purchase includes one watering tray and two 36 cell planting trays to give you the freedom of how many trays you want to use. Not to mention the super growing pellets that boost the growth of your seeds.

I liked the ease of setting up and starting seedlings. This method is an improvement IMO over the peat pots. Used both peat pots and the Burpee tray and the tray was easiest to maintain.

In terms of design, this tray is similar to Hydrofarm's Jump Start. In fact, this one has a vented dome that helps to maintain just the right amount of humidity to ensure germination success and bigger, healthier seed starts. This product is made with high-quality material to last for ages. You can garden without throwing a lot of plastic waste.

I like the trays and lids for the added sturdiness. They are much more comfortable to handle without worrying about collapsing. The items were shipped fast. Than
