*Free Delivery - Hydropod Propagator – for softwood and hardwood cuttings
Misting propagator used by professionals
Perfect For: Fuchsia, Chrysanthemum, Geranium, Hydrangea, Begonia, Dahlia, Pelargonium, Honeysuckle & other plants you want to grow from cuttings.
Improve your cuttings success rate the professional way with our electric Hydropod Propagator. Place the cuttings in the sponge discs in the Hydropod, add water and a constant mist will be sprayed over the base of your cuttings to maintain perfect moisture levels without water-logging, so that you get strong, healthy growth with no risk of root rot or fungal infections. The misting also speeds up growth because it encourages the roots to grow out to access the water.
The large vents provide great humidity control, your plant cuttings have unrestricted access to water, nutrients and oxygen and the heated version enables you to use the Hydropod in an unheated greenhouse all year.
It’s no wonder that this ‘misting’ method of propagation is used by professionals, because the perfect conditions created by the Hydropod Propagator produce healthy plants, reliably and quickly.
What’s more, the Hydropod cuttings propagator has a 7 day reservoir so there’s no need to keep an eye on the water levels every day, meaning you can go on holiday and not worry about your cuttings. Alternatively if you are looking for seed propagators the Vitopod heated propagator as won many awards.

The Hydropod increases cuttings propagation success rates and speeds up cuttings propagation by getting the moisture balance right for you, preventing damping-off and mould.
A cutting loses water through its leaves but has no root system by which it can absorb water, it can take up a small amount through its base. In our Hydropod Propagator cuttings are regularly misted; this mist lowers the leaf temperature, creates a humid atmosphere and reduces the amount of water lost from the leaves - so cuttings are kept moist but without ever becoming water-logged (water-logging leads to rotting and mould).
The constant spray of water and nutrients around the base of the plants has the added advantage of encouraging the roots to ‘grow-out’ quickly to access the water and nutrients.
The lid retains warmth and the optional heater maintains an even temperature so that you don't lose plants to low temperatures.
The vent in the lid enables you to lower the humidity as the cuttings grow.
