普象-让好设计发光

Tea Seedling Pots make use of tea branches that require regular trimming to create a material for a container that holds tea seedlings. Out of convenience, tea seedling merchants frequently use plastic seedling bags filled with soil for propagated cuttings. However, plastic seedling bags cannot be recycled or reused, resulting in agricultural waste.

Tea Seedling Pots have a double-layer structure with an appropriate amount of soil mixed with fertiliser to completely protect the roots prior to transplantation. They can also extend the time it takes for tea seedlings to adjust to the soil after transplantation, which greatly improves the survival rate of tea seedlings. The inner and outer pots decompose completely in the soil, reducing the soil burden. Tea Seedling Pots are also designed to fit planting machines, allowing tea farmers to transplant mechanically and do lot of planting at once.

Tea Seedling Pots are a green design from start to finish. They reduce agricultural waste and achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources. The seedling pots not only improve tea farmers’ planting efficiency, but they also raise environmental awareness, allowing tea seedling merchants to reduce the use of plastic bags for seedling raising and significantly reduce follow-up labour cleaning costs. Because Tea Seedling Pots promote root growth, water conservation, and pressure resistance, they can be used not only in tea crops, but also in woody plants such as other forest trees in the future.
