The Gardening Naturally Seed Trays & Propagators (Medium, Pack of 3) are ideal for home gardeners and hobbyists looking to maximize germination rates for seeds and cuttings. These sets provide a stable, contained environment that traps essential heat and humidity to foster vigorous early-stage growth. While their medium size is perfect for standard windowsills and small greenhouse benches, users should note that they do not include internal drainage mats, requiring careful monitoring of soil moisture to prevent waterlogging.

FAQs

Are these trays dishwasher safe?

No, they should be hand-washed with mild soap to prevent warping and degradation of the plastic.

Do I need to add drainage holes?

While the trays come solid, some gardeners choose to drill small holes in the bottom if they prefer bottom-watering. Otherwise, use a spray bottle to manage moisture levels.

Can these be used outdoors?

They can be used in a protected greenhouse or cold frame, but they are not designed to withstand high winds or heavy rain if left exposed.

Will these fit on a standard windowsill?

Yes, the 38cm x 24cm dimensions are specifically chosen to fit most standard indoor windowsills.

What is the total height with the lid on?

The total height of the unit with the cover in place is approximately 19cm.

Troubleshooting

Condensation dripping onto seedlings

Briefly vent the lid for 15-30 minutes daily or wipe the underside of the cover with a clean cloth.

Algae growth on the tray surface

Clean the tray with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution and ensure the setup is not receiving direct, harsh sunlight.

Seedlings look leggy or weak

Move the tray to a location with more natural light or introduce an LED grow light closer to the seedlings.

Pros and Cons

  • Sturdy design suitable for multiple growing seasons

  • No integrated drainage holes provided
  • Hand wash only to preserve plastic integrity
  • Not suitable for large-scale commercial nursery use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, fill the trays with a high-quality seed starting mix, ensuring it is moist but not saturated. Because the trays are solid-walled, it is recommended to use a thin layer of perlite or gravel at the bottom if you prefer additional drainage, or simply water sparingly using a misting bottle.

For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can create scratches where bacteria or algae may harbor. After each season, soak the trays and covers in a mild solution of warm water and liquid soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow them to air dry completely before stacking them for storage. This practice ensures your setup remains sanitary for the following year.
