Seedling Trays Canada: The Ultimate 2025 Guide to Choosing the Best Seed Starting Trays
If you’re a Canadian gardener searching for seedling trays Canada, you’re not alone — thousands of growers from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia are switching to professional-grade seed starting trays every spring. Whether you call them trays for seeds, starter trays for seeds, plant nursery trays, or seed germination trays, the right tray can make the difference between weak, leggy seedlings and strong, healthy transplants ready for your vegetable garden or greenhouse.
Why Canadian Growers Love Seed Starting Trays
Canada’s short growing season means most of us have no choice but to start seeds indoors. Starting seeds in trays gives you a 4–8 week head start, especially for tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, and flowers. Using high-quality seed growing trays or growing seed trays ensures:
- Even moisture and faster germination
- Healthier root systems (no root circling)
- Easy transplanting with minimal root disturbance
- Reusable for many seasons → huge savings
Most Popular Seedling Tray Types in Canada Right Now
- Standard 1020 Nursery Trays + Inserts The workhorse of Canadian market growers and serious home gardeners. Pair a heavy-duty nursery tray with 72-cell, 128-cell, or 200-cell inserts depending on how many plants you need.
- Seedling Trays with Lids (Humidity Domes) Nothing beats a seedling tray lid for maintaining 90–100 % humidity during the critical germination phase. Look for seedling trays with lids that are at least 7 cm tall so seedlings don’t hit the roof when they pop up.
- Self-Watering Seed Germination Trays New in 2025 and flying off shelves in Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal — these seed germination trays have a reservoir and capillary mat so you only water once a week.
- Deep-Cell Trays for Seeds Perfect for onions, leeks, and tomatoes that need extra root space. The 50-cell 3.5–4 inch deep plant seedling trays are currently the bestseller in British Columbia and Ontario.
- Silicone & Biodegradable Options Eco-conscious growers love silicone seed planting trays (last forever) and peat/coir plant starter trays you can plant directly in the garden.

- Bottom-water once sprouts appear — prevents damping-off disease.
- Place on heat mats (17–25 °C) — essential in most Canadian homes in March/April.
- Move to bright south-facing windows or under grow lights the moment seeds germinate.
- Harden off properly — Canadian springs are brutal; don’t skip this step!
