Propagators

At The Pure Factory, we offer a wide variety of propagators designed to optimize the growth and reproduction of your plants.
Our propagators are essential tools for any gardener or grower looking to ensure healthy development from the early stages of germination through the growth phase.
Whether you are working with cuttings, seeds or young plants, our propagators will help you maintain ideal conditions for the success of your crops.

What are Propagators

Propagators are devices designed to create a controlled environment that favors the development of cuttings and seeds.
These devices allow maintaining a constant temperature and humidity, which is essential for the germination and successful rooting of plants.
There are several types of propagators, from simple models to more complex systems, adapted to different needs and budgets.

Types of Propagators

Cuttings Propagators

Cuttings propagators are designed to facilitate the rooting of plant parts that are used to create new plants.
These propagators usually include trays with transparent covers to conserve moisture and heat.
They are ideal for gardeners looking to propagate plants from stem, leaf or root cuttings.

Seed Propagators

Seed propagators allow seeds to germinate under controlled conditions.
These devices often include heating to maintain a constant temperature and adjustable supports to accommodate different types of seeds.
Some models also have additional lighting to speed up the germination process.

Automatic Propagators

Automatic propagators are advanced models that offer total control over environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and light.
These systems are ideal for serious growers who want to maximize efficiency and ensure optimal results in the propagation process.

How to Choose a Propagator

When selecting a propagator, it is important to consider several factors:

1. Size: Make sure the propagator fits the space available and the number of plants you want to grow.
2. Type of cultivation: Choose a propagator suitable for the type of cultivation you are doing, whether from cuttings or seeds.
3. Additional Features: Consider whether you need additional features such as heating, lighting or automatic systems.

Propagator Care and Maintenance

Keeping a propagator in good condition is key to its effective operation.
Here are some tips:

1. Regular Cleaning: Clean the propagator frequently to prevent the accumulation of mold and bacteria.
2. Humidity Control: Regularly check humidity levels to ensure an optimal environment for plant growth.
3. Equipment Check: If the propagator includes electrical components, check that they are working properly and replace any damaged parts immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
