Black Plastic Nine-Cell Seedling Propagation Tray

This black plastic nine-cell seedling tray is a detailed 3D model featuring realistic wear and weathering for garden scenes. Constructed as a single moulded unit, this nine-cell seedling propagation tray features a rigid, square-grid configuration with individual tapered planting compartments. The material is rendered with a realistic semi-gloss finish, showing subtle surface scratches and accumulated soil residue at the base of each cell, suggesting frequent use in a nursery or greenhouse environment. Each cell includes vertical ribbed detailing on the exterior walls for structural integrity. The proportions are compact and square, designed for efficient benchtop propagation, making it an essential asset for adding lived-in detail to horticultural project renders.

The download is a 54.8 MB compressed archive with the model in BLEND, FBX and GLTF format.

This asset is provided with PBR textures that map effectively across the geometry. When integrating into a scene, ensure the normals are correctly oriented to maintain the plastic's specular response. It can be easily populated with various small plant species or soil-filled textures using standard scattering tools. The model is lightweight, allowing for efficient duplication when populating larger greenhouse or nursery layouts without overloading the viewport or render engine performance.

Ideal for residential garden designs, greenhouse visualisations, and commercial nursery project stages, this tray adds authenticity to potting shed or outdoor terrace scenes. It pairs well with potting benches, gardening tools, and various indoor or outdoor plant models. Professionals looking to populate a workspace or add realistic clutter to a gardening-themed project will find this asset useful for creating a lived-in, functional aesthetic. It is a key detail for scenes requiring a sense of ongoing plant cultivation and maintenance.
