Propagator Question

Post by steve.smith »

Are there any commercial manufacturers/suppliers of lighted propagator units out there suitable for cacti seed raising?
I know many of you make your own but I don't feel capable!
Thanks

Most Cacti and Succulents esp. Ariocarpus, Copiapoa, Eriosyce and thinking of branching into Asclepiads!

Hi Steve,

Presumably you have looked at Two Wests & Elliott's website/catalogue?

I'd agree with Suzanne - Two Wests and Elliot are a good company. I used them many years ago, when it was the 'Two Wests' - Mr and Mrs, and Elliot was the much loved Labrador who slavered and cuddled you into buying stuff. They sold up but the company seems in good shape.

Alternatively look at your local Hydroponics stores - I'm sure there are a few in your area. They specialise in indoor lighting, timers, equipment etc. for indoor growing - I've had dozens of lights and timers over the years of varying size depending on the square footage of your warehouse.
