    I am thoroughly delighted with my propogator. I've got all kinds of things going on in there and all the little lids are steamy! It's so good being separate little boxes, what a brilliant idea.

    Lynda it does look good when all the props are on the go , like a little production line :)
    When the props are up to temperature and are all misted up , I half open the vent . This lets it breath a little. Also every couple off days remove the lid and shake the water droplets back onto the compost, this gives them a change of fresh air .

        I just sowed these seeds on the Prop , Sunday morning ,Mina Lobata Jungle Queen ( Spanish Flag ). Very rapid germination .(photo a bit blurry ! ) If you don't know Spanish Flag , it's a very light climber which will climb up through other plants. Shows very pretty flowers from mid-summer. Mine have never flowered quite as well as the web photo, but still very nice :thumbsup:

          Snap! I've the same, germinated in my super 7 too. :spinning:
          Got successful germination from annual phlox, Knautia, salvia, lobelia and ammi majus now. Swapping things in as others come out- I bought 6 extra trays and lids.:blue thumb:
