Electric Propagators
An electric propagator is designed to speed up the germination of seedlings and cuttings. An electric propagator will also increase the success rate, compared to trying to propagate on a windowsill of a cold greenhouse. An electric propagator can vary from a small windowsill unit to one taking full sized seed trays. The electric propagator base is similar in concept to an electric blanket, with fine wires laid in a mat to provide gentle heat.
An electric propagator will raise the compost temperature, increasing germination rates for seedlings. The top of the propagator is normally covered to prevent the compost drying out. On small electric propagators, there is normally a simple heat calibration unit to increase or decrease the output power of the heated base.
A larger, more commercial electric propagator will have a covered top, and a heated base with probe thermostat. The thermostat can be placed in the compost of a sample seed tray, to ensure the compost is always at the correct germination temperature.
Access Irrigation and Access Garden Products have been providing electric propagator solutions since the 1960's for both commercial growers and keen gardeners.
