Windowsill Propagator - Self Watering Seed Spa - 3 Bays

This depends on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. Check the reservoir level every few days and refill when it appears low to ensure continuous moisture.

Yes, you can use it without the cover, but the benefits of a controlled warm and humid environment for germination will be significantly reduced. The cover is essential for maintaining optimal conditions.

The propagator is designed to accommodate standard seed trays. The 3-bay unit has a tray size of 54.5 x 18.5 x 5cm, and standard trays with drainage holes fit directly onto the capillary mat within this space.

The capillary mat is designed to absorb water from the reservoir and wick it upwards into the compost in your seed trays or pots, providing consistent hydration from below.

Yes, the cover is made from a shatter-resistant plastic, making it durable for repeated use in garden and greenhouse environments.

While direct sunlight can help warm the propagator, it's not strictly necessary for germination if the ambient room temperature is suitable. However, placing it in a location that receives some light is beneficial for early seedling growth.

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Ensure the capillary mat is fully in contact with the water in the reservoir. Check that the reservoir is filled adequately. If using standard seed trays, ensure they have drainage holes and are seated correctly on the mat.

Adjust the air vents on the cover to increase ventilation and reduce humidity. Ensure the seed tray or compost plug is not sitting in standing water above the capillary mat level. Remove the cover for short periods to allow for more air circulation.

Verify that the propagator is in a sufficiently warm location. Check that the seeds are within their viable germination period and have been sown at the correct depth. Ensure consistent moisture is being maintained.

Clean the capillary mat thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off. Allow the mat to dry completely before re-use. Consider replacing the mat if damage or persistent growth occurs.
