Is this tray suitable for cuttings?

Do I need a lid for this tray?

Troubleshooting
Condensation obscuring root visibility
Wipe the inside of the tray with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure adequate ventilation if using a propagator lid.
Tray appears cloudy or scratched after cleaning
Use a soft cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Avoid abrasive scourers. Minor scratches are cosmetic and do not affect functionality.
Seedlings not germinating
Ensure proper temperature, moisture, and light conditions are met for the specific seeds being sown. Check that the compost is not too wet or too dry.
