Stewart P035B Essentials Electric Propagator, 52 cm - Black

Product Information

For example, the Garland Super 7 Propagator is one of the best heated electric propagators for catering to different seeds; it has seven different pods and each one has its own ventilation. These type of set up allows you to keep some seeds cooler than others, all whilst using the same propagator. To allow adequate space for seedlings to establish, the best propagator will be around 15 – 20 cm in height . Ideally, you want to be looking for a propagator with a wattage of around 13 – 22 W . This will provide sufficient heat for seedlings without being too costly to run. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 10 – 15°C so the propagator needs enough power to maintain this. This tray heats very evenly, but unfortunately there is no thermostatic control. Taking the temperature readings and opening the vents, or even turning the unit off for a brief time, is the only way to control the heat. However, most users find this level of control more than enough for most seedlings, and appreciate its ease of use. Easy to use, the Stewart Garden Premium Electric Propagator with Thermostatic Temperature Controlhelps to stimulate the germination of plants by gently warming the compost. Grow flowers, plants, herbs and vegetables in controlled conditions for the best results. This propagator is made up of 4 individual seed trays, as well as a heated base. While it requires a little more space than other units I’ve recommended, measuring 39 x 25 x 16cm, it still fits easily on most average window sills. Each tray measures 8.5 x 15.5cm, while the height of the lid is 8cm. This allows seedlings to grow tall and develop strong roots before replanting.

Measuring just 18.5cm wide, this propagator easily fits onto the average window ledge. The 76cm length means you can still fit ample seeds into this unit. The roof is high enough to allow seedlings to grow around 5cm, and the trays are also sufficiently deep to offer enough space for roots to fully develop. As a result, when it comes to planting seedlings out, they are already well established.

Give your seeds the best start in life using a propagator

The trays are very small, measuring just 14 x 7cm at the base. This makes them suitable for those who want to grow a small amount of each plant, although the trays are still deep enough for your plants to develop strong roots. Give your plants a helping hand with our high-quality propagators. The lightweight crystal clear cover has adjustable ventilation making it easy to control the airflow to young plants. A lower-wattage propagator will heat up more slowly, but cost less to run, than a higher-wattage unit. The Garland Fab4 Electric Heated Propagator is a great option for those requiring a little more warmth as it boosts the soil temperature by up to 10°C. It’s slightly warmer than others on the market, producing good results especially for seeds that require a hotter climate. Unlike others I’ve mentioned, there’s no need to place it in a sunny spot.

In terms of performance, this propagator can be used to grow a wide variety of seeds. It comes with a 13W carbon fibre element that provides an even heat distribution, raising the temperature by around 8°C. Having said that, it’s still best installed on a sunny windowsill if you’re growing plants that prefer a lot of warmth. Electric propagators can range in wattage, and the size of the propagator will also affect how much power you need. The wattage determines the cost of running it. The EarlyGrow 3-Bay Heated Electric Propagatoris impressively simple to use, yet cleverly designed. It’s got three well-sized “cells” that sit on top of a reservoir in the base of the unit. Fill it with water, set up the absorbent material over the base, turn it on and you’re good to go! Having a propagator with separate ‘cells’ will mean you can choose to ventilate certain cells and not others which allows you to adjust the environment to the individual seed.If you find one of our competitors selling the same product which we sell at a lower price than our price then we will endeavour to match their price! As I’ve already mentioned, this propagator is high performing, boosting the temperature by 8-10°C. The heat distributed is evenly spread across the base thanks to the reliable carbon fibre element, while the growing conditions can be controlled using individual vents across the 4 seed trays.
