Vitopod makes the propagator most serious growers end up with. The difference from a standard tray-and-dome is modularity: the sides are extension rings that stack, so the same base grows with the plants instead of being outgrown in a fortnight.
Why it is different
- Stackable height. Start shallow for cuttings, add rings as they grow. A normal propagator forces you to pot on the day the lid gets in the way.
- Thermostatic heating. The heated versions hold the base at a set temperature rather than just being warm. Root formation is driven by temperature, so this is the part that matters – see all propagators.
- Proper vents. Adjustable, so you harden plants off gradually instead of shocking them by lifting the whole lid.
- Built to last. Rigid construction rather than the thin vac-formed plastic that cracks after two seasons.
Small or large?
The small suits a domestic windowsill or a shelf of cuttings. The large takes full seed trays and is the one to buy if you propagate every cycle rather than occasionally.
Running one
Base temperature 21-24°C, vents shut for the first two to three days after taking cuttings, then opened progressively over the following week. Low light only – see propagation grow lights. Pair with propagation media and cloning products.
