FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this propagator cover?

The dimensions are approximately Width 22 cm x Length 18 cm x Height 9 cm.

Does this product come with a base tray?

No, this product is the propagator cover only and does not include a base tray. A compatible tray is required for use.

How do I adjust the temperature inside the propagator?

Temperature is primarily controlled by adjusting the vents to regulate airflow and humidity. For warmer, more humid conditions, keep vents closed; for cooler conditions, open them.

Can I use this cover for larger plants?

This cover is specifically designed for the propagation stage of smaller plants, seedlings, and cuttings. It is generally too small for mature plants.

What materials is the propagator cover made from?

It is made from tough and durable materials designed to withstand everyday use in gardening.

How often should I vent the propagator?

Venting frequency depends on your environment and the plants. Initially, check daily. If condensation is heavy, vent more often. If plants appear dry, reduce venting.

Is this cover suitable for use with heat mats?

Yes, it can be used with a heat mat placed under the compatible seed tray. Ensure adequate ventilation is still provided to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

Condensation is too heavy inside the cover.

Open the vents to increase airflow and reduce humidity. Wipe away excess condensation with a clean cloth.

Plants seem to be drying out despite the cover.

Ensure the cover is seated correctly on the tray and that the vents are mostly closed. Check that the growing medium is adequately moist.

Mold or fungal growth appears.

Increase ventilation by opening the vents. Remove any affected plant material immediately. Clean the propagator thoroughly before reuse.

Cover does not fit the tray securely.

Ensure you are using a tray of the appropriate size (approximately 22cm x 18cm). If the tray is slightly smaller, you may need to weigh down the cover or use tape to secure it.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Specific size may require a matching propagator base.
  • Might be too small for larger propagation projects.
  • Requires a compatible tray or base not included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the propagator cover over a suitable seed tray or pot containing your seeds or cuttings.
  2. Ensure the cover sits securely on the tray/pot to maintain a sealed environment.
  3. Adjust the vents on the cover to control airflow and humidity. For high humidity, close the vents; for more airflow, open them partially or fully.

Compatibility:

  • This 22cm propagator cover is designed to fit standard 22cm x 18cm seed trays or similar sized pots.
  • It is intended to be used with a base tray that provides a stable platform and contains any excess water.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wash the cover with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the vents for any blockages and ensure the material remains flexible.
