Of course rooting Carnations with the Q Plug is currently used through-out the world, but the Carnations in these pictures are rooted in the Q Plug surrounded by air. That’s right, instead of using the cells as intended the rooting trays were turned upside down and the spaces were used between the cells to put the Q Plug in with the desired spacing. That’s why you see the roots coming out right from the top and completely engulfing the Q Plug.
