Ellepots are a versatile, flexible system that provides real savings on cost and logistics. They use special degradable paper to make inserts that then slot into a tray for benching outside or in a greenhouse. The inserts are then sent out to farmers or distributors and no plastic pots or trays have to ever leave the nursery – helping to ensure your trays don’t go missing and cost you needless money. Ellepots can be made on site as needed too.

Proptek have developed trays to take this excellent system to the next level, ensuring the very best quality and the most natural container grown roots found anywhere within the horticultural industry.

Ellepots when combined with a long-life and rigid injection molded Proptek tray allow for much more efficient automation of your nursery, allowing you to make considerable labor and time savings. Ellepots are suitable for a vast array of uses from ornamental flowers, through trees and shrubs to large scale forestry propagation.

Bumping up can be better automated to – a hole is simlply drilled in a larger Ellepot and the smaller Ellpot is simply slotted in. This bigger Ellepot then gets placed in a large celled tray and returned to the growing area.

The important factors for automation using Ellepots is to have a tray or container that holds the Ellepot firmly but not too tightly, supports the Ellepot down its full length, and provides some means of stopping media falling out the bottom without creating an environment where circling roots can develop. Proptek containers meet these criteria where many others do not.
