A:  Thank you for your question. We would estimate 4-5 pellets to fill a 3" pot however that could vary based on depth. We would recommend considering our Jiffy Seed Starting Mix 12 qt bag or sku 1004685325. With it one can fill up to 22 of our Jiffy 3" round peat pots. In hopes this helps and if you have further questions don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at 508.285.5800. Our best to you and your students in the school project!

A:  Why would you use these in a pot? Just put a seed starting mix in it.

A:  Yes. Drop the pellet into warm warm, it will puff up. This is used as a seed starter. Once your plant has taken root, you will need to transfer it to a pot or flowerbed.

A:  Thank you for your question. The Jiffy Peat Pellet can be used as a substitute. We recommend placing the pellets in a tray, apply warm water, let expand and then place in garden ensuring the netting covers the bottom and side walls. If not the peat can get into your pump and possibly clog. Note the netting will start to biodegrade after a few months. Based on model you may have to trim and remove some of the pellet to fit. Another option and you won't have to worry about clogging the pump is to use a coco coir based medium. This medium does not perform as well as a Peat based medium when used to grow seeds/plants but will work. Our best to you this season.

A:  I think so. They're made from peat and most if not all kinds of seeds can put on top of the disk.

A:  Hi Faith, I would think so since the pellets are for seed starting. I would suggest giving the pellets a try. Good luck with your succulents and seeds.

A:  Thank you for your question. Yes we have many professional succulent growers that use Jiffy Peat Pellets to start their seeds. If we can be of further help don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at 508.285.5800. Our best to you!
