Garland Super7 Electric Heated Windowsill Propagator G51

Product Information

Height extensions have their own side vents for further control of the interior climate as your plants get bigger and taller. 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. 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. You can use this model anywhere, from a windowsill in your home to a shelf outdoors in your greenhouse. Pros

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. With seven individually-vented cells and a reasonable price tag, this Garland Super7 Electric Heated Windowsill Propagator offers good value for money. Despite having seven cells, it has a compact design enabling you to grow germinate multiple seed varieties in one go. Very handy!After 28 days, items can still be returned at the discretion of our staff, excluding garden tools, electrical goods, and plants under our 1-year guarantee. Some larger seeds in mid winter, Ricinus communis ‘Carmenchita’ and different cultivars of Lathyrus odoratus (sweet pea) I put into square 5cm pots instead of the trays and it worked just fine, fitting nicely. 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.

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 The lid height will dictate how long you can keep your produce growing in the propagator – if the plants start pushing the ceiling, they’ll have to be taken out. The cost of the return of any faulty goods will be borne by Keengardener. We shall be entitled to charge you for the costs of returning goods which are not faulty. In this trial, I have compared simple heat mats that come with no trays or lids, trays that also come with nothing else, and complete windowsill kits. Some are not suitable for the home, but only practical for an unheated greenhouse. Think also of the size the seedlings need to grow to before you can transplant them. Some may grow to be quite tall, and so look for propagators with extra headroom. Inside/outsideIf 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’.

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! Individual vents on the lid of each propagator let you control the temperature and humidity of each one separately. Electric propagators provide the perfect environment for seed germination, making it possible to grow all year round. If you want to grow different plants at different temperatures, choose a propagator with several individual growing pods (known as ‘cells’). Make sure the cells have vents to regulate the temperatures.

Super 7 Electric Propagator

Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets If like me, you live in a very small flat with perhaps only one window adequate for growing plants from seed, the Super 7 is perfect. It’s 76cm x 19 cm deep and feels compact. Doesn’t have adjustable heat, but for indoor seed sowing that doesn’t matter for anyone except specialist growers. Lagurus ovatus “Bunny Tails” Plus, if you get a propagator with a thermostat, it will regulate the temperature and save energy by turning off when it reaches a certain temperature. Having an idea about the length of the propagator’s mains cable before purchasing is also a good plan. Some propagators have short cables of 1 m, whilst others are slightly longer at between 2 and 3 m. Depending on where you have a power outlet, either in the house or greenhouse, you may have to use an extension cable. Lid Height for Better Growth
