Review: Great for Herbs and Veggies, Tight Fit for Bigger Seeds - These sponges arrived smaller than I expected, but they did match the size guide shown in the listing, so that was on me. Once I soaked them in water, they expanded to a good size. They’re still a bit smaller than the sponges that came with my Growell hydroponic system, but they’re close enough to work well and feel like a great value overall. The material holds moisture nicely and provides good support for seedlings. I tested them with pumpkin seeds, and while I could fit two seeds in each sponge, it was a tight fit. If you’re planning to use these for smaller seeds like herbs or lettuce, they’ll work perfectly. For larger seeds like pumpkins, squash, or beans, I’d suggest going up a size for better breathing room. That said, I’ve already grown a handful of happy, healthy plants with these sponges. They’ve held up well, stayed moist without falling apart, and made the germination process really easy. If you’re working with a compact hydroponic setup or doing seed starting indoors, these are a great option. Pros: ✅ Expands nicely when soaked ✅ Holds moisture well and supports good germination ✅ Great for small to medium seeds ✅ Affordable and matches the description ✅ Compatible with many hydroponic systems including Growell Cons: ❌ A little too tight for larger seeds like pumpkins or squash ❌ Slightly smaller than my original Growell sponges
Review: Perfect! - This was a re-order, these sponges work perfectly!

## Features

- Great Material:MAIHAN grow sponge is made of high-quality peat ingredients. The pH value of the hydroponic sponge is stable at 5.8-6.2. It contains nutrients suitable for seed germination and growth. It has good air permeability and water absorption, providing the most suitable air and water balance for growth
- Seed Starter Plugs:Seed germination is the most important step in gardening. Water, nutrients, and air will affect the growth of seeds. Hydroponic seed pods can provide the air and nutrients needed for plant growth to ensure healthy germination, rooting, and growth of plants. They are ideal seed starter
- Excellent water absorption and water retention: The product is received very dry, ensuring long-term storage. Before use, you can soak the grow pods in clean water for about 15 minutes. After the sponge fully absorbs water and swells, you can start using it. The dense ingredients make the product highly water-retaining, and the frequency of watering can be greatly reduced. It is a water-saving gardening product
- Pods for Hydroponic Garden:The seed pod can be used indoors with a hydroponic machine to simulate the temperature and nutrients needed for product growth, reducing the impact of changes in external environmental temperature on the growth of fruits and vegetables. You can enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables at any time. But this does not mean that the product is not suitable for soil cultivation. After the product germinates, it can be transplanted into the soil to continue growing
- Wide Application:It is suitable for various greenhouse cultivation and hydroponics scenarios, and can be used to grow tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, herbs and other vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs. There are 50pcs of products in the package, which can meet basic planting needs

These are great when you run out with the ones that come with the system. They seem small but they will get bigger once you soak them.
