Garland Super7 Electric Heated Windowsill Propagator G51

Product Information

Often regarded as the holy grail of propagators, these are heated propagators that come with a thermostat that you can set to within a range of temperatures. Set this to your required temperature, usually between5°C and 30°C, so the environment is perfect for the type of seed you’re growing. These work by regulating the temperature to within 1°C. Self-watering You can also select a convenient day to receive your delivery by choosing a named day delivery (delivery on working days only). Of course, as this is a larger unit, it may not fit on a windowsill. Instead, it will need to be placed on a table, desk or worktop if you’re using it indoors. This propagator is certainly very effective, prompting seeds to germinate often in a matter of days, or maybe a week at most. It encourages germination in a wide range of plants from tomatoes, to chillies, to flowers like achillea.

Vent in the lid of each mini-propagator lets you set the environment for each type of seedling individually. This propagator comes with a power cord, although at 2m it may be a little short. Using it with an extension cable may be necessary.

Thanks to the seven separate cells, you can plant different types of seeds in each one if you wish, and each cell has its own vent to control the temperature according to the different plant.

Internal water reservoir with capillary matting that takes water up to the plant so you don’t have to. Set the temperature that is required to promote plant growth if your heated propagator has a thermostat. Given that propagation can be a little hit and miss, having space in this large 52 x 42.5 x 28cm unit for so many seeds is one way to help increase the chances of success! 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.If you want to ensure a high yield of germinated seedlings, this 22W Stewart P035B Electric Propagator allows you to plant up to 144 seeds at a time, which can result in germinating at least 50 plants in one ‘round’.

Heated base unit– Raises compost temperature by around 8°C and evenly distributes the heat for better growth. The size of propagator you should buy will depend on the space you have available, and how many seeds you want to propagate. For the eco-conscious gardener, this unit is made from recycled plastic and is designed to be reused. It’s not the strongest plastic but will probably last a few years if you aren’t too hard on it. Pros 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. This compact electric propagator is an ideal plant and flower nursery solution for your windowsill. It features seven mini propagators which allow you to grow a wide variety of different plants in just one unit for great convenience. The non-thermostatically controlled 13-watt carbon fibre heated base unit provides the ideal conditions for growth by evenly distributing heat and raising the ambient compost temperature by up to 8°C. A great way to ensure perfect light conditions for successful propagation while protecting your seedlings from draught and cold. Features and Benefits

If there are separate trays, or there’s enough space to use your own pots, you can have a lot more flexibility on using different compost types and planting different seeds.

Please note that the right to return goods which are not faulty does not apply to any goods which have been made to your own specifications. Compact design– Means you can get all the benefits of windowsill light conditions without the cold and draught. Specifications Measuring just 76 x 18.4 x 15.2cm, this propagator fits most average windowsills. Each tray comes with a transparent lid so you can easily monitor the progress of your seedlings, while the air flow and temperature can be controlled using the red vents on each lid. Most standard propagators either come with on large seed tray, or one larger tray and a few separate smaller trays. These may be contained under the same roof, or in individual ‘cells’.For example, if you run a propagator of 100 W for an hour, at this rate, it will cost you 1.4p for that hour. A propagator of 50 W will cost 0.7p for an hour. And a propagator of 22 W will cost you 0.3 p per hour. Take a look at the product’s dimensions and match them up with the space you have available – propagators come in a range of sizes, so you’ll find one to fit your space with a bit of searching!
