The result is \u003cstrong\u003eslow, patchy germination\u003c\/strong\u003e, seed that rots before it sprouts, and cuttings that sulk for weeks without making \u003cstrong\u003eroots\u003c\/strong\u003e. A heated base fixes the one variable that matters by warming the tray from underneath, while the closed dome holds the \u003cstrong\u003ehumidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that stops an unrooted cutting losing water faster than it can take it up. It also takes the sting out of \u003cstrong\u003etransplant shock\u003c\/strong\u003e, because a plant raised at a steady root temperature moves on into a pot without stalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eSite it level\u003c\/strong\u003e near a power point and out of direct draughts\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eStand filled trays or pots on the growing tray\u003c\/strong\u003e - heat passes up through the tray, so avoid standing water directly on it\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose the vents\u003c\/strong\u003e while seed is germinating or cuttings are rooting, to hold humidity in\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen them by degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e once growth appears, over about a week, so plants harden off instead of wilting the day they come out\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeave it switched on\u003c\/strong\u003e - at 24W it is intended for continuous running\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eVent more in a warm room\u003c\/strong\u003e - the base is \u003cstrong\u003enon-thermostatic\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it cannot back off on its own and the dome is how you control the temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\\n\u003cul\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeated base:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24W, non-thermostatic\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59cm long x 41cm wide x 26.5cm high\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eClearance under the cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15cm\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e crystal clear high dome with adjustable vents\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing tray:\u003c\/strong\u003e injection moulded, no drainage holes\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e rigid injection-moulded plastic throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.96kg\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003cli\u003e\\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied with:\u003c\/strong\u003e heated base, growing tray and high dome cover\u003c\/li\u003e\\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe plants and pots shown in the photographs are not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Garland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53611515609354,"sku":"PRP-GARL-001-01","price":52.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/garland-xl-high-dome-heated-propagator-1.jpg?v=1788263218","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/garland-xl-high-dome-heated-propagator","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
