Using a humidity dome like the Narrow Budget Large Propagator when propagating plant clones or cuttings is an essential step to ensure successful rooting. Start by selecting healthy, disease-free parent plants and trim them to include a few leaves and a node where roots will emerge. Dip the cut end of each cutting into a rooting hormone to encourage faster root development and improve success rates. Insert the cuttings into a growing medium such as peat, perlite, or a soilless mix, ensuring each cutting is firm and stable. Place the cuttings inside a propagation tray and cover them with a humidity dome. The dome helps maintain high humidity levels, crucial for preventing the cuttings from drying out since they lack roots to absorb water.
Position the tray in a location with indirect light or use a grow light set to a low intensity to avoid scorching the tender cuttings. Aim to keep the humidity levels inside the dome around 90-100% for the first few days, then gradually reduce it to 80-85% as roots begin to develop. Monitor the moisture of the growing medium and mist the cuttings if necessary to maintain adequate humidity. Ventilate the dome periodically to allow fresh air exchange, which helps prevent mold and fungal growth. Once the cuttings have established roots, usually within 1-3 weeks, you can begin acclimating them to the external environment by gradually increasing the time the dome is removed each day.
The Budget Large Propagator is as big as other large / X-large high dome plant propagators, but significantly smaller on price! The available inside height for clones (including the clone plug’s height) is approx. 18 cm and the inside of the the tray is 31 cm x 51 cm, able to accommodate seedling trays like the 45 Cell Tray, ROOTiT 60 Cell Tray, and also 2 x 48 Cell Trays. The clear lid has to ventilation ports that can be opened to reduce humidity inside the dome over time.
The propagator’s base does have a bit of a bubble when empty, but will flatten out when weighed down with a tray full of clones that are ready to root!

The base (including lip edges) measures 32 cm x 21 cm, providing ample room for propagation. The ridged base raises seed trays and rockwool cubes from the bottom of the tray, allowing for drainage of excess water. The plastic thickness of the base is very similar to our Humidity Dome bases – thinner and more bendable than a hard plastic base (e.g. Garland Propagators) but still durable enough for light use over time.
The clear dome lid is also made of a very acceptable plastic thickness (not as thick and rigid as a Garland hard plastic dome top, yet ideal for light to moderate use over time) and feature a ventilation port on the top of the dome.

Propagators are simple to obtain and provide an ideal start for young plants. A propagator holds in humidity and warm air while allowing seedlings to receive light. This an easy way to maintain a good environment for very young seedlings . However, since the cover prevents normal air movement (which is very important as it encourages young plants to grow strong stems), seedlings should not be kept in a covered propagator for too long.
Once the young plants produce their second or third pair of leaves, or if they grow taller than about 7 cm with only the first pair, the cover of the propagator should be removed. A small oscillating fan on the lowest setting is a good way to give indoor plants the air movement they need, while outdoor plants can start to receive the natural outdoor air movement when they have reached this size.

The 30mm Microgreen Tray Mesh Bottom is 275mm wide and 535mm long. The mesh bottom makes this tray suitable for multiple uses.
With its low 30mm height, it can be filled to the brim using only about 4.5 liters of growing medium.
Coco coir based substrates/growing mediums are a very popular choice for growing microgreensat home, as it is a soft and airy medium with great moisture retention. Because the microgreen growing cycle is so short, with the seedling relying mostly on nutrients stored inside the seed itself, adding any supplements or additional nutrients to your substrate is not a necessity at all, although a lot of people do add a little bit of worm castings to their mixes, claiming better results.
Once you have added your substrate into the 30mm Microgreen Tray With Holes, water or mist spray lightly if the substrate is on the dry side and tamp the substrate down very lightly by hand, to get it to settle and flatten out nicely. Then gently sprinkle your seeds across the surface. Once this is done, a VERY thin layer of additional substrate may be sprinkled over the top of the seeds (using a baking sieve, for example)
Place the trays into a suitable environment for germination and mist or spray the top of the substrate regularly to prevent it from drying out. (A propagation dome will help keep substrate moist until your seeds have germinated, saving you a lot of effort. Remove the ). Do not overspray, as this will cause overly wet “swampy” subsurface conditions! Just keep the substrate slightly moist at all times.
Once your seeds have sprouted and grown to a harvestable size, you are able to clip off the delicious micro-leaves for your dishes and salads with a pair of pruning scissors.
30mm Microgreen Tray Mesh Bottom trays can also be used for other home and hobby purposes, like sifting out Mealworm Beetles if you are breedingthem, or to sift grains, seeds, Perlite, etc.
