FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the tray and lid?

The tray measures approximately 37.5cm (Length) x 23cm (Width) x 6cm (Depth). The propagator lid adds about 6.5cm to the height. The overall dimensions when assembled are Length- 40cm, Width- 25cm, Depth- 7cm.

Can I use this tray without a lid?

Yes, you can use the tray on its own for planting, but the propagator lid is essential for creating the high-moisture environment needed for effective seed starting and propagation.

How do I clean the seed tray and lid?

Wash with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is it suitable for all types of seeds?

Yes, it is suitable for most common vegetable, herb, and flower seeds, as well as seedlings and cuttings. The choice of tray with or without drainage holes can be tailored to specific plant needs.

Does the lid come with the tray, or is it sold separately?

The product title 'Lid only' suggests that this specific item is for the lid. However, Garland offers combined seed tray and lid sets. Please check the product listing for the specific variant you are purchasing. This guide assumes use with a compatible tray base.

Can I stack multiple trays together?

Yes, the trays are designed to be stackable for efficient storage when not in use.

What material is the tray made from?

The trays and lids are made from highly durable clear plastic.

Troubleshooting

Condensation obscuring view inside the lid.

Slight condensation is normal and beneficial for humidity. If excessive, briefly lift the lid to allow for air circulation.

Mold or fungus growth on soil surface.

Ensure adequate air circulation by briefly removing the lid daily. Sterilize the tray thoroughly between uses. Use clean seed-starting mix.

Seedlings stretching excessively (legginess).

Increase light exposure. Ensure the seedlings are receiving sufficient direct light or are placed under a grow light.

Tray cracking.

Handle with care, especially in cold temperatures. Avoid dropping or applying excessive pressure.
