What's great about it?
Propagate more successfully
The heated Vitopod has a range of 5ºC to 30ºC. This means that you can set the temperature up to 30ºC, ideal for exotics, and as low as 5ºC, ideal for overwintering without cooking roots. And you can select any 1ºC temperature inbetween!
The digital thermostat displays the 'set' and 'achieved' temperatures so you can be confident that your plants receive the exact level of warmth they need.
The Vitopod is the only propagator and coldframe to have large butterfly vents in the lid and sides. These vents provide greater control over humidity and help create a perfect growing environment.
A healthier head start
Create the perfect growing environment for your seeds and cuttings in this propagator, cold frame and mini greenhouse in one.
Greenhouse layer adds warmth and protection from pests, encouraging seedlings to develop quickly.
Grows with your plants
With a starting height of 24cms the standard Vitopod offers plenty of space for propagation, simply add extra height extensions to provide the perfect height for your plants. Ideal if you need to protect tall plants from the frosts.
Even Growth
Even heat is delivered throughout the base so no more hot or cold spots just equal germination and root development.
Reduce energy use
Only heat the plants , not the entire greenhouse and save energy.
Perfect growing companion
Propagate, harden off and protect plants through the winter – the Vitopod does all three jobs. And it all flat packs away for those rare moments when you’re not using it.
Stays beautiful
Vitopod is resistant to UV deterioration so it won’t yellow and it’s made from a durable, slightly flexible material so that there’s less risk of it breaking when you drop it on the greenhouse floor or patio.

Customer Quotes
"I would like to sincerely thank you for the extra effort you put into making sure the Vitopod arrived safely. The good news is that it arrived in Melbourne in perfect condition having been through presumably fairly rough handling of airport luggage handlers. Not a scratch or damage at all! Well done - please thank all involved. Unfortunately we had no choice - it had to go in the hold. I congratulate your company on the build quality of the Vitopod. Very impressive. Can't wait to use it." - Phil Kinvig, Nov 2008, whose Vitopod propagator survived a 10,500 mile long haul flight!
And, a wonderful email that we received recently;
"It’s not often I write to a company to express my opinion about a product that I buy, but on this occasion I have had such a wonderful result with the Vitopod propagator.
Over the years I have bought many heated propagator systems from warmed cable to the silver foil heated mat system, with reasonable results until I tried the Vitopod . It is really important when you sow seed that you get the temperature correct at seed level to get the optimum results, with the Vitopod you achieve this through a super accurate thermostat and enclosed environment which is totally controllable. Our success so far is with sweet peppers it normally takes us 14 days to germinate the seeds but the Vitopod has done it in 7 days, quite a success I would say.
After many years in commercial horticultural I would highly recommend the Vitopod propagator to the amateur market, I believe in the product that much, I have ordered another one today (that’s 3 this year)." - Robert Ballantyne, Ballantyne Nurseries, Dec 2008
"I am very pleased with my vitopod. It is cleverly designed and well manufactured. And your support staff on the phone have been very knowledgeable and helpful. Many thanks." - Dr Miller, Mar 2009
