With the use of a propagator you can start germinating seeds earlier. Your cultivation can start earlier and with stronger and better grown plants.
It is possible to close off the growing area with the transparent cover. Creating a much better controlled sprouting and growing area.
This manageability creates a much better germinating and growing environment, which will increase the rate of success significantly.
The Growshop.ie line of propagators cover the most commonly used sizes and qualities.
From small ones for children or starting hobbyist, windowsill sizes, up to big ones for professional horticulturists.
This small propagator is ideal for sowing and cuttings of a small number of plants or vegetables. dimensions 23 x 18 x 13 cm (9 x 8 x 5,3 inch)
If you want to get a head start on the growing season, a propagator is your best friend. Seedlings are fragile during their early days and can struggle when exposed to fluctuating temperatures or humidity. A propagator creates a protected space where seeds can germinate efficiently and safely.
Acting like a compact greenhouse, a propagator traps warmth and allows you to adjust ventilation for optimal airflow and temperature control. This stable environment encourages faster, healthier growth for your seedlings. Garden centers and grow shops also offer additional tools to fine-tune your propagation setup.
To nurture your seedlings effectively, you need to focus on these three essentials:
Light is essential for seedlings to grow evenly and upright. Position your propagator in a spot that receives plenty of natural light throughout the day. Rotate the propagator regularly to stop seedlings from leaning or becoming leggy as they chase the light.
If natural light is limited, use grow lights to maintain steady illumination.
Overwatering is a common mistake when caring for seedlings. The compost should feel moist to the touch but never soaking wet. Too much water can cause seeds to rot or develop mold.
Check your propagator daily, and allow the compost to dry slightly between waterings. If your propagator has a capillary mat, it will help your seedlings draw moisture only when needed, reducing the risk of overwatering.
Seedlings thrive in a warm, stable environment. Aim for a temperature range of 18°C to 25°C, depending on the type of seeds you’re growing (always refer to your seed packet for details).
Place your propagator in a draft-free location, like a sunny windowsill or a warm room, to keep the temperature steady.
