Buying a propagator: optimal start with sowing and cuttings

Want to take your seed project to the next level? Then buying a propagator is a smart investment. This grow box with bottom heating creates ideal conditions for fast, healthy root development. Whether you want to grow seeds or cuttings, with a propagator you get a stable climate, save time and increase your growing results.

What exactly is a propagator?

A propagator is an electrically heated growing box that consists of a heated base with a transparent lid. This increases the soil temperature by about 8 to 10 °C—ideal for germination or rooting. You place seed pots or trays on top and close the lid for constant heat and humidity.

The benefits of a propagator

• Reliable germination thanks to constant soil temperature
• Accelerated root development in cuttings and young plants
• Energy-efficient design with low power consumption
• Protects young plants against draughts and temperature fluctuations
