seed trays

Seedling starter containers

Seed trays are shallow containers with multiple compartments used for starting plants from seed.

Each cell holds soil and a single seed or seedling, allowing gardeners to germinate many plants in a compact space before transplanting them outdoors: I started my tomatoes in seed trays on the windowsill.

Also called seedling trays or plug trays.
