Do Heated Propagators Work?

Do Heated Propagators Work?

Electric Heated Propagators are a cost effective way of helping gardeners to germinate seeds earlier and more successfully. Seeds germinated in an electric heated propagator grow into healthier plants because of the more comfortable and consistent start in life.

Do you leave a heated propagator on all the time?

I leave my propagators on all the time. I close the vents and as soon as the seedlings appear I open them. I tipe the condensation on the lids back into the compost. The vents should be open after germination as the seedlings can catch a fungus and die.

Where should a heated propagator be placed?

Most seeds need some light, so placing your propagator in a sunny spot is ideal, but it is important that you don't place your propagator in full sun where the seedlings can dry out too quickly, become scorched or grow too leggy.
