Product Information

Full details

Designed for both novice and experienced gardeners, these medium-sized propagator sets are ideal for starting seeds, cuttings, and early-stage plant growth in a controlled environment. The key benefit of this system is the integration of drainage-optimized trays with fitted moisture-retaining lids, which significantly improve germination rates by fostering a stable microclimate. While these trays are highly effective for small-scale propagation, their size means they are better suited for windowsill or greenhouse bench use rather than large-scale nursery production.

FAQs

Can these trays be used without the lids?

Yes, you can remove the lids once your seeds have sprouted to improve air circulation and harden off your plants.

Are these trays dishwasher safe?

It is recommended to hand wash these items to avoid warping the plastic due to high dishwasher temperatures.

What is the total height of the unit with the lid?

The combined height of the tray and lid is approximately 19cm.

Do I need to put gravel in the bottom of the tray?

No, the trays are designed to function effectively without additional materials; simply ensure your soil mix is appropriate for starting seeds.

Can I use these for hydroponic setups?

These trays are primarily designed for soil-based propagation; they may not be suitable for deep-water hydroponic systems due to their specific drainage hole design.

Troubleshooting

Seeds are not germinating

Verify the temperature of the location. Seeds often require a consistent warm environment to trigger germination.

Seedlings look weak or 'leggy'

This is often due to lack of light. Move the trays to a brighter location or supplement with a grow light once sprouts emerge.

Mold or algae forming on the soil surface

Increase ventilation by propping the lid open slightly and reduce the frequency of watering.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains moisture and heat for improved germination success
  • Sturdy design allows for multiple seasons of use
  • Balanced size fits easily into limited indoor or greenhouse spaces
  • Built-in drainage prevents waterlogged soil conditions

Cons

  • Not suitable for large-scale propagation projects
  • Requires careful cleaning to prevent residue buildup
  • Lids should be removed occasionally to allow for air circulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Gardening Naturally propagator is straightforward: simply ensure the base tray is placed on a level surface to keep water distribution even across the drainage holes. The trays are compatible with most standard seed-starting composts and jiffy peat pellets.

To clean, hand wash the trays and lids using warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the plastic and harbor bacteria. Once clean, allow them to air dry completely before storing them in a cool, dark place for the next season. Taking care to rinse the reservoir thoroughly will ensure no mineral deposits build up, keeping the drainage system functioning optimally.
