Seedling pots and accessories are the complete equipment needed to grow seedlings on your own. Here you will find pots and sowing trays, mini greenhouses and propagators, including electric ones with temperature control, as well as mini herb gardens with LED lighting from the Garland brand. Everything you need to grow seedlings from sowing to planting out. Shipping throughout the EU.
If you are just setting up your seedling station, start by choosing seeds and a source of bottom heat. Check out our seeds and heating mats, which are worth combining with propagators for heat-loving species.
How to choose seedling equipment? Types and uses
The choice of equipment mainly depends on the heat requirements of the sown seeds and the scale of cultivation.
Seedling pots and sowing trays — are suitable for spot sowing and pricking out young plants when you want to have control over each seedling individually. Reach for seedling pots or a 24-cell sowing tray.
Unheated propagators and mini windowsill greenhouses — maintain high humidity and a stable microclimate for species that only need room temperature warmth. See Windowsill Greenhouse and Standard Propagator.
Electric propagators with temperature control — designed for species requiring bottom heat, such as peppers, tomatoes, or basil. Choose Garland Jumbo.
Mini herb gardens with LED lighting — allow you to grow herbs on the windowsill all year round, even with low natural light. When choosing equipment, consider the specific heat requirements of the seeds.
Electric and self-watering propagators — what you’ll find in this category
In this category, we have gathered both simple unheated propagators and electric models with temperature control, as well as self-watering solutions that reduce the risk of seedling drying out. The electric Garland Jumbo provides constant bottom heat, which significantly speeds up and evens out germination of heat-loving species.
For smaller windowsill crops, a good starting point is the Standard Propagator, which maintains moisture without the need for power. The choice depends on whether the sown species require additional substrate heating.

How to use propagators — basics
Humidity — maintain it with the cover, but remember to ventilate daily to reduce the risk of fungal diseases and seedling death.
Bottom heat — for heat-loving species, use an electric propagator or a heating mat to maintain a stable substrate temperature.
Light — after germination, provide seedlings with a bright location or LED lighting to prevent excessive stretching.
Hardening off — before planting out, gradually ventilate and acclimate plants to outdoor conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Heated or unheated propagator — which to choose?
An unheated propagator is sufficient for species germinating at room temperature, while a heated one works well for seeds requiring bottom heat and speeds up germination.
Which seeds need bottom heat?
Bottom heat is especially required by heat-loving species such as peppers, chili, tomatoes, eggplant, and basil, whose seeds germinate best at around 22–28°C.
Electric propagator or heating mat?
An electric propagator is a ready set with a cover and control, while a heating mat is more versatile and allows heating of any containers and greenhouses.
Is LED lighting necessary?
With weak natural light, especially in winter and early spring, LED lighting prevents seedlings from stretching and improves their condition.
