the horticultural industry has gone through a rapidly changing development
since the first Jiffy peat pot was introduced, however Jiffypot has remained
a favorable option for many growers worldwide. entering into a new era
where biodegradability, recycling and environmental concerns are more
and more on the minds of consumers and growers alike, the next generations
of Jiffypot are sure to find a place in the horticultural industry for many
years to come.
to accommodate to the modern grower needs, most of today’s Jiffy
products are designed for use with the automation systems found in
today’s greenhouse environment. Jiffy autopot, carefree carrier tray systems
and Preforma plug system are all systems specially developed by Jiffy
and highly suitable to work in combination with automatic handling and
transplanting equipment. Preforma is one of the most flexible propagation
systems available in the horticultural industry and, like all other Jiffy products,
distributed worldwide. Propagation substrates of the tref go standard
range and the tref Smart range are also part of the delivery program of
Jiffy. these quality substrates can be delivered in several packaging as
well as optional transport possibilities, always fitting your needs and
meeting your standards.
New products have been added reflecting the customer’s need for innovative
renewable environmentally friendly solutions, such as coco substrates,
derived from pithy tissues of coconut husks. currently Jiffy carries a full
line of coco Jiffy pellets, growblocks and growbags for the hydroponic
industry and the Jiffy cd for the cultivation of gerbera’s and more. New
products are always under development as Jiffy strives to keep adding
innovative growing solutions.

industry. What sets the Jiffy
Speedypot apart from all other containers in the industry is that, while

the Jiffy Speedypot can be custom
printed providing the customer with
all the needed plant, and company
logo/ information, saving you the
expense and labor required of an
