Couple things:
Often potting soil needs to be "wetted" before using.
Pour it into a plastic box. Get some warm to hot water and pour it onto it. Not too much. Then, "play with the dirt" using your hands until it is all moistened. Then it is ready to use.
Though I've never had the problem of overly dried jiffy pots, they were never my favorite things even for tricky transplanters, they too can be soaked in hot water, using fingers to massage them. Careful you don't break them apart.
Standard 4" plastic pots can be used even for the tricky transplanters if you know how to keep the rootball intact.
