FAQs

How often should I water the seedlings?

Water the seedlings whenever the soil surface feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to mold and root rot.

How do I control the humidity levels?

Adjust the lid opening to regulate the airflow and control the humidity. Slightly opening the lid will reduce humidity, while closing it will increase humidity.

What kind of growing medium should I use?

Use a seed starting mix or a well-draining potting mix. Avoid using garden soil, as it can contain diseases.

Can I use this kit outdoors?

The kit is primarily designed for indoor use. However, it can be used outdoors in a sheltered location, away from direct sunlight and harsh weather.

How long should I keep the seedlings in the propagator?

Keep the seedlings in the propagator until they have developed a few sets of true leaves. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting.

How do I clean the propagator?

Clean the tray and lid regularly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reuse.

What is the best temperature for the propagator?

The ideal temperature is typically between 70-75°F (21-24°C) for most seeds and cuttings. Monitor the temperature regularly.

Troubleshooting

Mold growth inside the propagator.

Increase ventilation by opening the lid slightly more. Ensure proper air circulation. Clean the tray and lid with a mild solution of water and soap.

Seedlings are not germinating.

Check the soil moisture and ensure it's not too dry. Verify that the temperature inside the propagator is warm enough (around 70-75°F). Make sure seeds are viable.

Seedlings are leggy and weak.

Move the propagator to a location with more light. Reduce the humidity level by increasing ventilation.
