Nursery plant liners are young plants that have been grown to a size and level of root development that allows them to thrive when transplanted into larger containers. These liners are essential for successful growth in a new environment, making them a critical part of the plant liners wholesale market.
In contrast, containers are typically the final growing stage, where the nursery liners are transferred for further growth before being sold to end customers. For more information, visit our Magnolia Gardens division to explore container options.
The initial growth stage of nursery plant liners, especially those from tissue culture, requires meticulous care. The most crucial period is the acclimation phase, which occurs right after the young plants are removed from the lab and introduced to the greenhouse.
