Minimal disturbance to your pocket and roots, eliminating the need to buy sowing and seedling pots. Make your own from old newspapers using this, the original wooden paper potter former. When seedlings are ready to plant out, transplant them in their bio-degradable paper pots. Boxed with full instructions. The resulting pots can be 6 cm high for the small potter and 9cm for the larger one. Made in the UK.

Use the lowest height (no side layers) to propagate seeds or cuttings. When it comes to hardening off and protecting taller plants the Vitopod propagator can be moved outside and more height added with extra side layers.

The small square Vitapod heated propagator is good for small spaces, whilst the large rectangular Vitopod heated propagator alternative is twice the size for a bigger crop. Each size has two versions; a single side layer or a double side layer (each side layer adds an extra 15cm of height). Further extra layers can then be purchased as required.

These heated versions have a temperature range of 5c to 30c which is enough to get the most timid of seeds going. The heating elements run the length and width of the unit thus preventing hot and cold spots.
