FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the 38cm propagator cover?

The 38cm propagator cover measures approximately Width 38cm x Length 24cm x Height 13cm.

Can I use this cover with any seed tray?

It is designed specifically for use with matching Whitefurze Seed Trays and Gravel Trays to ensure a proper fit and optimal performance.

How do I control the temperature inside?

The cover features vents that can be opened or closed to regulate airflow and humidity, which in turn helps control the internal temperature. For more precise temperature control, consider placing the propagator in a location with stable ambient temperatures or using a heat mat underneath the tray.

Is this cover suitable for hardened-off plants?

This cover is primarily designed for the propagation stage (seed germination and rooting cuttings). Once plants are established and hardened off, it is generally recommended to remove the cover to allow them full exposure to natural conditions.

How often should I water plants under the propagator cover?

The cover helps retain moisture, so watering frequency will be reduced compared to uncovered seedlings. Check the moisture level of the growing medium regularly and water only when the top layer begins to feel dry.

Can I use this cover outdoors?

While it provides protection, it is best used in a sheltered outdoor location like a cold frame or greenhouse. It is not designed to withstand harsh weather conditions if left exposed directly to the elements.

Troubleshooting

Excessive condensation inside the cover

Open the vents slightly to increase air circulation and reduce humidity levels. Ensure the cover is not placed in direct, intense sunlight which can overheat the interior.

Cover does not fit snugly on the tray

Ensure you are using a compatible Whitefurze Seed Tray or Gravel Tray of the correct size (38cm). Check for any debris on the tray rim that might be preventing a proper seal.

Plants appearing leggy or weak

This may indicate insufficient light. Move the propagator to a brighter location or supplement with grow lights. Also, ensure adequate ventilation by adjusting the vents.
