When it comes to successful seed germination, temperature matters. The Garland Propagator Thermometer is a must-have tool for any gardener who wants to take the guesswork out of seed starting. Whether you're working with an unheated windowsill propagator or a heated grow tray, this simple yet effective thermometer allows you to monitor soil temperature with precision—giving your seeds the best start in life.
Designed specifically for use in propagators and seed trays, this thermometer features a pointed stem that’s inserted directly into compost, placing the sensor exactly where it’s needed most: at the root level. Just check the reading and compare it against your seed packet or gardening guide to ensure your compost is within the optimal germination range.
This no-fuss solution is especially helpful during early spring sowing or when dealing with temperature-sensitive plants like chillies, tomatoes, and exotic herbs. Lightweight, reliable, and affordable, it’s the kind of tool you’ll use season after season.
