Bird’s vita plant bands are designed to grow your plants inside while danger of frost is outside. Band fits standard size flats. Roots are not 
disturbed when transplanted out in open from bands, thus no shock or setback to plant. Bands are treated with nutrients to assure vigorous 
well-balanced growth. Vita Band No. 10 is used for short growing periods. Will usually contain root growth up to approximately 8 to 10 
weeks. Vita Band D contains root growth until grower chooses to let root through band. Only quick, slight pressure is needed to crack 
band. Do not remove Vita Band D when transplanting. Band disintegrates in the soil. Vita Band H is the new nutrient-treated band 
which will control root growth of those plants which demand extra long growing periods.
