This is a great piece of kit getting great results from my tomato and chilli I'm using it with the lights so the seedlings aren't leggy at all but I'm having to buy the height extension because growth on the tomatoes is so good. This propagator is made up of 4 individual seed trays, as well as a heated base. While it requires a little more space than other units I’ve recommended, measuring 39 x 25 x 16cm, it still fits easily on most average window sills. Each tray measures 8.5 x 15.5cm, while the height of the lid is 8cm. This allows seedlings to grow tall and develop strong roots before replanting.If you want to ensure a high yield of germinated seedlings, this 22W Stewart P035B Electric Propagator allows you to plant up to 144 seeds at a time, which can result in germinating at least 50 plants in one ‘round’. I love my new propagator! It was easy to assemble, holds lots of plants and the temperature probe is really useful. I bought two heights of sides and this is super as I am not restricted by size of cuttings. Thanks to the seven separate cells, you can plant different types of seeds in each one if you wish, and each cell has its own vent to control the temperature according to the different plant. Given that propagation can be a little hit and miss, having space in this large 52 x 42.5 x 28cm unit for so many seeds is one way to help increase the chances of success!

As I’ve already mentioned it’s the quality of this unit that really stands out. I love well built products and was impressed from the moment I unwrapped the first piece.

Although simple to use, there are no controls and the heat is only increased by 8°C - so this propagator still needs to be kept inside on a warm windowsill An electric propagator is very simple to use. Once you have planted your seeds in the trays or pots and watered them, simply put them into the propagator and turn it on. This is a proper piece of equipment, maybe not for the beginner gardener because of the price but a very worthwhile investment if you’re hooked and want to continue growing vegetables for a number of years, it is great as a gardening gift also. The best propagator we’ve seen, a serious piece of kit. Electric propagators provide the perfect environment for seed germination, making it possible to grow all year round. If you want to grow different plants at different temperatures, choose a propagator with several individual growing pods (known as ‘cells’). Make sure the cells have vents to regulate the temperatures.

This propagator is certainly very effective, prompting seeds to germinate often in a matter of days, or maybe a week at most. It encourages germination in a wide range of plants from tomatoes, to chillies, to flowers like achillea.To give an idea of size: there are units that are small enough to fit onto windowsills, whilst others will need to be placed on a table/worktop/greenhouse shelf. Take a look at the product’s dimensions and match them up with the space you have available – propagators come in a range of sizes, so you’ll find one to fit your space with a bit of searching!
