seed starter

Early growth container

A seed starter is a container, tray, or kit designed for germinating seeds indoors before transplanting seedlings outdoors.

Seed starters typically include small compartments filled with soil or growing medium, often with a clear cover to retain moisture and warmth: I planted tomatoes in the seed starter in March.

The term also applies to specialized soil mixes formulated for germination.
