Why Use a Propagator Kit?

Using a propagator is the best way of ensuring that your plants grown from seed or cuttings have an optimum survival rate. Seeds need a protected humid environment to germinate and a propagator also protects from wind and pest damage. Using a propagation tray allows you to germinate seeds earlier in the season as it provides a stable, controllable growing environment.

Seedlings are more vulnerable in their early growth stages and any changes in temperature or moisture can cause irreparable damage. Sowing seeds or placing cuttings in a propagator gives them a greater chance of survival as monitoring their development and growth highlights problems such as diseases, mould, pest activity and poor hydration (either too much watering or too little).

A propagation tray could be considered an incubator or mini greenhouse for your seedlings.

When To Sow Your Seeds:

If sowing seeds, always read the instructions on the packet. Different seeds have different requirements for sowing and germination.

When sowing seeds in a propagator, you are able to start the growing process much earlier in the year than you would normally if you were sowing seeds outdoors. This is beneficial for those wanting to extend their growing season.

To sow in a propagation tray simply fill the cells with seed and cutting compost and then level the surface.

When sowing seeds, size matters. If you are planting with smaller seeds, simply sprinkle them in a thin layer. If you have larger seeds, you will need to push them into the compost one by one at a depth of about 1cm.

Carefully cover the seeds with compost so they lie at the correct depth below the surface. Make sure to label your trays if you are growing different plants to ensure you know what is growing in which cell and so you can correctly monitor their progress.

Hydrate the compost and seeds by pouring water into the back of the planting tray and leaving for a few minutes. Check that the compost is fully hydrated by removing an insert row from the tray.

Place your propagation tray somewhere warm but not above a radiator or in direct sunlight. Rotate it regularly to ensure even sunlight for all the seedlings once germination has taken place

The seedlings are ready for potting on or planting out once the root ball has developed into the insert row cells.
