Too often customers will have a bad experience growing from seed and it usually comes down to the soil drying out when they are at work. \u003cbr\u003eSeeds need a consistent moist, 'safe' environment to germinate well and grow onto a suitable size for planting out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePotential Problems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne problem you may encounter with these propagators is customers placing them in a sunny spot in summer which cooks the seeds and leads to failure. The clear dome cover amplifies that heat so it really only needs some early morning sun and then open shade the rest of the day. During winter when the sun is less intense the propagator can be placed in full sun. \u003cbr\u003eTake into account your local climate though. Retailers up in the hotter regions of Australia may still need to avoid that winter sun. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are vents on the top and customers often ask when to open and close them. If its a warm day, have the vents open, and on cool days close them up to conserve that warmth inside. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis propagator is fairly large at 580mm x 330mm. Sometimes this same size propagator will be sold as a 72 cell by other suppliers. We found that the cell size when squeezing in 72 led to issues with seedling growth due to limited soil in the cell and overcrowding. \u003cbr\u003eOur version has larger cells (50x50mm), divided up into 6 cell punnets making it easy to have different varieties of seedlings at various stages of growth and hardening off.  The clear cells make it easy to check on the root growth below and know when they are strong enough to transplant into the garden. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe black base and clear dome of the propagator will give you multiple years of use. The 6 cell punnets are thinner plastic and can be used multiple times with a bit of care, but will need replacing at some point.

Fill the punnets with seed raising mix and sow the seeds at the appropriate depth according to the pack. Then splinkle vermiulite on top rather than soil to cover the seeds. The vermiculite holds moisture but is light weight for seedlings to push through with their first leaves. Seed raising mix and Vermiculite can be sourced from Evergreen (Debco) or Brunnings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 25px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 25px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions about the Aussie Gardener Propagator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vw-page-tabs idda50f69f-1d7a-41ab-ba4d-3f614a174459\" data-name=\"Propagator FAQs\" data-id=\"da50f69f-1d7a-41ab-ba4d-3f614a174459\"\u003eLoading...\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Aussie Gardener","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":48168691171617,"sku":"AG01086","price":47.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/7727\/6449\/products\/Productshot_36cellpropagator1.jpg?v=1708989279","url":"https:\/\/www.aussiegardenerwholesale.com.au\/products\/aussie-gardener-36-cell-seedling-propagator","provider":"Aussie Gardener Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
