Troubleshooting
Seeds not germinating
Ensure the soil remains consistently moist and the propagator is in a sufficiently bright location. Check if the lid is creating adequate warmth, and ventilate if condensation is excessive.
Mold or fungus growth
Increase ventilation by propping the lid open more or for longer periods. Ensure you are not overwatering and remove any diseased plant material immediately.
Cuttings wilting
Confirm the soil is moist. Ensure the lid is securely in place to maintain high humidity, and that the location is not too hot or cold.
Propagator lid won't stay propped
Gently bend the lid edge outwards slightly where it rests on the tray, or use a small, non-metallic object to maintain the 1cm gap.
