Propagator Set
Posted on 25th October 2023
Gardening is a timeless pursuit that enriches both the soil and the soul. Yet for all its rewarding aspects, growing plants from seeds or cuttings can be a precarious venture. This is where a propagator set comes into play, offering a more controlled environment for germination and early growth.
What is a Propagator Set?
A propagator set is essentially a miniature greenhouse designed to offer optimal conditions for seed germination and cutting development. Comprising a base tray, a lid, and often some form of ventilation, this set creates an environment where humidity and temperature are carefully regulated. This increases the germination rate of seeds and aids in the successful rooting of cuttings, making it easier for anyone to start plants from scratch.

Types of Propagator Sets
These smaller 22cm vented covers are perfect for the gardener with limited space or someone looking to start on a small scale. Made from strong plastic, they are built to last. The vented feature allows you to control humidity, making it ideal for a variety of seeds and cuttings.

While not a traditional propagator set, this 7-piece gravel tray set is an excellent addition to your propagation process. These trays can be filled with gravel or water-absorbing crystals to maintain consistent moisture levels for your seedlings or cuttings. The variety in tray sizes allows for greater flexibility, depending on the space you have and the plants you wish to propagate.
Why Would You Want a Propagator Set?
There are several compelling reasons to invest in a propagator set:
Increased Germination Rates: The controlled environment maximises the likelihood of your seeds germinating successfully.
Faster Growth: Seeds and cuttings typically develop more quickly in a propagator, meaning you can transplant them sooner.
Year-Round Planting: The ability to control temperature and humidity means you can start seeds at any time of year, not just in traditional growing seasons.
Where is the Best Place to Put a Propagator Set?
The ideal location for your propagator set will depend on the type. Unheated propagators usually benefit from being placed in a warm, bright location, like a sunny windowsill. Heated propagators, on the other hand, can be placed in cooler areas as they can maintain their internal temperature. However, all propagators should be kept away from direct heat sources like radiators to avoid overheating the young plants.
Uses of a Propagator Set
A propagator set can be used for various gardening tasks, including:
Seed Germination: For starting everything from vegetables to ornamental flowers.
Rooting Cuttings: For cloning plants through stem or leaf cuttings.
Hardening Off: The adjustable ventilation on some propagators allows you to gradually acclimate plants to external conditions.
Specialised Growing: Certain plants require specific conditions that a propagator set can easily provide.
