Stewart P035B Essentials Electric Propagator, 52 cm - Black

Product Information

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 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. So I'm having a spot of bother and I'm wondering if anyone can advise me. I'm a beginner with this bit of kit which is the Stewart Heat and Grow Variable Temperature Electric Propagator - just in case anyone else has got the same one. 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.

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. Then, you’ll need to multiply the wattage of the propagator by the number of hours it’ll be used each day. Divide this number by 1000 and multiply by 14 (or your specific kWh rate). 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.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. There’s only one open heating space, so you’re not restricted by smaller ‘cells’. The only real downside to this is that seeds can’t be individually ventilated. The plastic lid has two vents, which can be opened or closed to help regulate the temperature inside the propagator. Some Lily seed puts down a root (i.e. this is all underground) and starts making a little bulb, all with the energy stored in its tiny seed), and its only the following year that it puts up its first leaf. With those you have no idea if Year 1 has worked, or not, until Year 2 - very frustrating!

Young plants are particularly susceptible to difficult climates and need a consistent temperature to reach their peak. Germination only occurs when a plant has adequate moisture and warmth. Scottish Highlands, Islands & Remote include the following Post Codes: IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17- 26, PH30-44, PH49-50, PO31-41, ZE. Also, the cells can be prone to a condensation build up, even when the vents are open. I suppose though this is just what happens when you mildly heat something and contain it! Over time I’ve learnt that by switching the unit off and giving the cells a bit of breather everything clears up nicely.The idea of adding a propagator to your house might seem daunting – doesn’t it cost a lot of money to have a heat source on for a long time? For example, in the above list, there are some seven-cell propagators, which would make it possible to plant around 21 seeds (if you planted three seeds in each cell). However, the good thing with individual-cell propagators like this is that you can have better control over the temperature in each cell. Gentle heat from the base warms compost evenly stimulating germination and rooting. The built-in thermostat maintains soil temperature between 18ºC and 23ºC. Warm air is trapped under the ridged clear cover to maintain a moist atmosphere, and protect developing plants from draughts and drying out.
