Root Control Sheet for Easy2Propagate – 116cm x 51cm · AutoPot

The Root Control Sheet for Easy2Propagate is the essential shield your propagation system needs to keep everything in order. This specific sheet (116cm x 51cm) acts as a selective barrier, preventing your clones' roots from anchoring themselves to the tray or capillary mat, ensuring they remain independent and healthy while still accessing the moisture they need.

Why is this sheet a game-changer for your clones?

Have you ever tried to move a tray of young plants only to find they are glued to the bottom? It is a classic grower's nightmare. You pull, you hear a snap, and you realize you just broke the main taproot of your best clone.

This happens when roots grow aggressively into the mat or the tray itself, creating a tangled mess that is impossible to separate without causing stress. If you ignore this, you risk stunting your plants right before transplanting, or worse, ruining the expensive capillary mats of your system.

The solution is ridiculously simple: place this Root Control Sheet at the bottom. It allows water and nutrients to pass through freely so your plants drink as much as they want, but it physically stops the roots from passing through. The result? You can lift every pot effortlessly, with zero root damage and zero stress.

Total protection for your Easy2Propagate system

This accessory is designed specifically to fit the dimensions of the Easy2Propagate kit. Its main function is to maintain the integrity of your Cloning setup. By keeping the roots contained within the pot or block, you ensure that when the time comes to move them to a larger system, the plant is 100% ready and intact.

Additionally, it acts as a hygiene layer. It prevents organic matter from embedding itself into the CocoMat or the bottom of your Grow Trays, making the cleaning process between cycles much faster and more effective. It is a small investment that saves you time and headaches.

Key features and benefits

• Perfect Fit: With dimensions of 116cm x 51cm, it covers the standard Easy2Propagate tray area perfectly.
• Root Protection: Prevents roots from tangling or anchoring, facilitating stress-free transplants.
• System Longevity: Protects your capillary mats (CocoMats) from being ruined by invasive root growth.
• Permeability: Allows full flow of water and air, ensuring your Hydroponic and Aeroponic Systems work efficiently.
• Reusable: Durable material that can be cleaned and used for multiple propagation cycles.

How to use it in a few steps

Setting this up is the easiest part of your grow. It is designed for those who want efficiency without complications:

1. Make sure your propagation tray is clean and free of debris.
2. Place your CocoMat (capillary mat) in the tray first.
3. Lay the Root Control Sheet directly on top of the CocoMat.
4. Place your seed trays or pots on top of the Root Control Sheet. That's it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the sheet reusable?

Yes, absolutely. After you finish a cycle, simply wash the sheet to remove any salt buildup or algae, let it dry, and it is ready for the next batch of clones.

Can I cut it if my tray is smaller?

Yes, although it is sized for the Easy2Propagate, you can trim it with scissors if you are using a custom setup, without affecting its functionality.

Does it block water flow?

No. The material is designed to be permeable to water and air, ensuring your plants stay hydrated while blocking physical root penetration.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I used to think these sheets were optional until I ruined a perfectly good CocoMat because the roots had woven themselves into it like a carpet. Trying to separate them was a disaster; I damaged half my clones and had to throw the mat away.

Now, I never set up a propagation tray without one. It’s one of those "set and forget" tools. When transplant day comes, you just lift the pots, and the roots are pruned perfectly at the bottom, ready to explode into the new substrate. If you value your time and your equipment, this sheet is a must-have in your kit.
