FAQs

Does this tray have drainage holes?

No, this specific model comes without drainage holes to prevent leakage on surfaces.

Can I use this for outdoor seed starting?

Yes, but be careful during heavy rain as the tray will collect water and could drown the seedlings.

What are the dimensions of the propagator?

The tray is 38cm (W) x 24cm (L) x 6cm (H), and the total height with the lid is 13cm.

How do I clean the plastic?

Use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Is the lid clear or opaque?

The lid is designed to be clear to allow light penetration for the seedlings.

Can I put this on a heat mat?

Yes, the material is suitable for use with standard horticultural heat mats to aid germination.

Troubleshooting

Excess water collecting at the bottom

Use a turkey baster or sponge to remove excess standing water, as the lack of drainage holes can lead to root rot.

Mold or algae forming on the soil surface

Remove the lid for 30-60 minutes daily to increase airflow and reduce moisture buildup.

Seedlings appearing leggy or weak

Move the tray to a location with more direct light, as the seedlings are likely stretching to find a better light source.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, reusable plastic material
  • Effective at maintaining heat and moisture
  • Compact footprint for small spaces
  • Professional, clean aesthetic

Cons

  • No drainage holes in the base tray
  • Requires manual monitoring to prevent root rot
  • Lid is rigid and does not feature adjustable vents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your propagator, fill the base tray with an appropriate seed-starting medium and plant your seeds according to their specific depth requirements. Gently mist the soil rather than pouring water directly into the tray, as there are no drainage holes. Place the lid securely on top to lock in moisture.

Care is straightforward: after the season concludes, wash the tray and lid with warm, soapy water and allow them to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the plastic. Since the tray has no drainage, it is best suited for bottom-watering methods or light misting to keep the substrate moist without becoming waterlogged.
