FAQs
What is the ideal temperature range for seed germination?
The ideal temperature range varies depending on the seed type. Refer to the seed packet for specific recommendations. Generally, a range of 65-75°F (18-24°C) is suitable for most seeds.
How often should I water my seedlings?
Water when the soil surface feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
How do I control humidity levels?
Use the dial vent to adjust airflow. Close the vent to retain moisture and open it slightly to reduce humidity.
Can I use this propagator outdoors?
Yes, but protect it from extreme weather conditions. Consider using it in a sheltered location, like a greenhouse or a partially covered area.
What is the planting depth?
The planting depth is 6cm, which provides ample space for seeds and cuttings to develop.
What materials is this propagator made from?
It is made from 97% recycled materials.
What is the size of the propagator?
The size is 37.5cm x 23cm x 18cm.
Is a heating mat necessary?
