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 outside dimensions of this humidity dome is 23 cm (H), 38 cm (W), 58 cm (L)
Using a humidity dome like the 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.
RapidGrow Rooting Pots with Tray features 9 x 500 ml slotted pots that are narrow (+- 8cm diameter) and deep (13cm tall). This makes it ideal for quickly rooting seeds, seedlings or clones into a good sized root volume – ready to transplant into a larger container!
CAN BE BLACK OR GREY PLASTIC, depending on availably.
The slotted pots of the RapidGrow Rooting Pots with Tray are similar to net pots and air pruning pots – allowing for great drainage and aeration of the roots and substrate, factors that all play a role in root development.
The 9 pot tray makes it easy to handle, move, water and maintain multiple seedlings or clones at once. The tray with the 9 pots inside of it measures 30 cm x30 cm x 16 cm high.
*Highlighter for scale only
If you are looking to generate healthy root mass quickly, we recommend using Cosmocel Cosmoroot Rooting Promoter as early feeding for clones and seedlings.
Cosmoroot promotes and strengthens root formation and root development. Cosmoroot is a Bio-stimulant and should be used in conjunction with a regular nutrient feeding plan.
To increase yields you need to increase root mass. The bigger the root mass the more nutrients can be absorbed by the plant. A good root system results in healthy vascular tissue formation, this means well developed fruit or flowers. Roots synthesize the hormones responsible for cell division and enlargement, so the more roots you have the bigger the yield.
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 microgreens at 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.
The 50mm Microgreen Tray Without Holes has no drainage holes and is 275mm wide and 535mm long.
With its 50mm height, it can be filled to the brim using only about 7.5 liters of growing medium.

Canna RootPlugs Loose Singles: A cultivator’s key to optimal cutting and seedling rooting. Designed for seamless integration with natural substrates like coco and peat-based mixes, these plugs promise rapid and vigorous root development. Ideal for kickstarting your crops, as they absorb water rapidly while maintaining precise humidity levels.
You take a snip from a plant, wave your green thumb wand, and voilĂ ! A new plant is born! Well, almost. It’s more like a science experiment meets a gardening adventure. You carefully select a healthy stem or leaf cutting, strip it of some excess baggage (aka extra leaves), and plop it into a cozy rooting medium—be it water or soil or a “glue plug”. Then, it’s all about providing the right conditions, like a plant spa day. You sprinkle a dash of sunlight, a splash of water, and a sprinkle of love. Before you know it, those little cuttings start sprouting roots like they’ve got places to grow! It’s like witnessing tiny miracles unfold right before your eyes. And hey, who knows, maybe one day you’ll have a whole garden of plants cloned from your green thumb genius. Just don’t forget to wear your magician’s hat while you’re at it!
The pellets are made from Sphagnumpeat from specially selected peat bogs. Lime and a special fertilizer with a low ammonium content is also added in order to stimulate growth. The pellets have a pH of approximately 5.3 and are wrapped in a thin, biodegradable net.
Jiffys are a popular ready to use media and are perfect for seed germination and also for rooting plant cuttings or clones.
The compressed pallets are approx. 33mm W x 40mm H when fully expanded. When exposed to water the Jiffy expands and the hydrated media is held within a degradable net. A small indent is provided on top of the disc to place the seed into once the disc has expanded.
Because the Jiffys have an outer netting to hold the media inside, they can be self-standing or growers can place them inside seedling trays for additional support. ( Handy when rooting cuttings )
Once a good root system has developed throughout the media, they can be directly planted into an NFT system or a larger plastic or fabric pot or even a rockwool slab.
Jiffy 7 Pellets 33mm are also very popular for soil growers and can be directly planted into the soil when the seedling is established.
Jiffy 7s are manufactured from sphagnum peat (and Coir fibers) harvested from carefully selected bogs which are subject to stringent internal and governmental controls to ensure minimal environmental impact. Peat is only taken from sources where the re-generation rate is greater than the harvest rate and the local ecology will not be adversely affected.
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.
Set up your ROOTiT Small Propagator in conjunction with heat mats, temperature controllers, CFL lighting, etc., to create the perfect conditions for your seeds and cuttings to thrive in!
The ROOTiT Small Propagator can comfortably fit 2 x small seedling trays, e.g. 4 cell, 6 cell, 8 cell and 12 cell.
The outside dimensions of this humidity dome is approx. 24 cm (H), 28 cm (W), 54 cm (L).
The INSIDE dimensions of the tray cavity is approx. 49cm x 24cm x 5cm. Dome lid is about 18cm high.
This narrower humidity dome DOES NOT fit larger seedlings trays and one will have to get creative with a box-cutter and some seedling trays to optimize the entire dome area in a lot of cases! Examples below…

Improving the process of rooting cuttings or germinating seeds can be significantly enhanced by adding a Heat Mat Temperature Controller to a heat mat. This combination allows for precise and consistent temperature regulation, creating an optimal environment for plant development. The controller automates temperature settings, ensuring that the heat mat maintains the ideal warmth without the need for constant monitoring, thus preventing overheating and fluctuations that can stress plants. This results in a more reliable and efficient propagation process, leading to healthier root development and faster germination, ultimately making plant propagation a smoother and more successful endeavor.
The base (including lip edges) measures 57 cm x 36 cm, providing lots of 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.

Set up your ROOTiT Large Propagator in conjunction with heat mats, temperature controllers, CFL lighting, etc., to create the perfect conditions for your seeds and cuttings to thrive in!
The heating pad creates perfect conditions for all types of propagation: Flexible warmth, where you need it. Helps overwintering of frost tender plants.
Applying heat to the bottom of a flat as the seeds germinate will increase your success and ensure a healthy root system. YOU WILL NEED SOME INSULATION BETWEEN THE HEATING PAD AND THE SEEDLING TRAYS, if not using a temperature controller. If no controller is present, use a thermometer inside one of the soil filled seedling tray cells and adjust insulation until desired soil temp is achieved.
A heating Pad will ensure that your seeds have a constant steady temperature. This results in faster and also more even germination. Chili plants, peppers, sweet peas and many more need at least 19°C soil temperature and above to germinate. If your home is cold or you have an unheated greenhouse, then it will heat just the seed trays and you won’t face a bill for heating the whole room. It also allows you to extend the sowing season. They can be used to help cuttings strike, and you can utilize the mats to overwinter tender specimens.
Please note: the heating pad requires a standard plug to be fitted.

The Garland XL High Dome Propagator is an unheated high dome propagator designed by Garland and to our knowledge one of the largest injection molded propagator on the market. The base tray of the Garland XL High Dome Propagator does not feature drainage holes, given that most users opt to fill the unit with smaller trays or pots or multi cell inserts.
PLEASE NOTE: BASE COLOR MAY BE EITHER GREEN OR BLACK, DEPENDING ON AVAILABILITY.
The lid of the Garland XL High Dome Propagator is Injection molded in crystal clear shatter resistant material. The lid features 2 adjustable ‘dial’ ventilators to control the humidity and optimize growing conditions
Dimensions – 58cm (l) x 40.5cm (w) x 22.5cm (h)
This is a Premium range of propagation, all made from high quality recycled plastics. These items are super strong and durable, with thicker wall sections offering extra rigidity. The trays are easy to clean and can even be put in a dishwasher. Although injection molded trays are generally more expensive than vacuum formed equivalents, they will easily last for 10 years or more.
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.
