Quality
As I’ve already mentioned it’s the quality of this unit that really stands out. I love well built products and was impressed from the moment I unwrapped the first piece.

This is a proper piece of equipment, maybe not for the beginner gardener because of the price but a very worthwhile investment if you’re hooked and want to continue growing vegetables for a number of years, it is great as a gardening gift also. The best propagator we’ve seen, a serious piece of kit.

The Large Vitopod is absolutely amazing. I've read some reveiews claiming it was a little tricky to put together, but that isn't true. It is very simple to put together, especially if you've watched the video from QuickCrop about it. There is lot's of room for trays. We have 5 trays in ours now with seedlings already on the way. If you really want to grow your own from seed, this is the best way to ensure you get the highest strike rate on your seeds. THe only real problem with it, is finding the right spot for it, as it is quite big, but that is a problem we're happy to have. Great purchase, and would definitely recommend.

I bought the large vitopod last year and it was fantastic. It fits lots of plants and is easy to set up. I love it.

I love my new propagator! It was easy to assemble, holds lots of plants and the temperature probe is really useful. I bought two heights of sides and this is super as I am not restricted by size of cuttings.

Great propagator with easy temperature control

Tim Myers

Very good product and good germination results thus far. A little tricky to assemble so perhaps instructions could be better. The thermostat has to be fed in via the green adjustable vents and won't fit through the small holes in the side panels as seen in the demonstration video.

Excellent service from Quickcrop. My Vitopod arrived really quickly by courier. It was very easy to put together and set up. It's nice and large which will take seedlings and pots. Nothing to not like about this super product. Looking forward to growing some quality seeds I bought from you too. Thanks again, a very happy customer.

MY VITAPOD ARRIVED EXACTLY WHEN YOU SAID IT WOULD IT WAS EASY TO ASSEMBLE THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE PRECISE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING I DON'T LIKE SO FAR

Glass continually steams up thus restricting light to seedlings. My fault? Don't know otherwise excellent product.

CiaranKing

This is a great product. Big, roomy, strong, lets in lots of light. Once your gardening ambitions exceed the need to grow more than a single tray of seeds, then don't waste money on multiple other heated propagators with flimsy lids that cook your seedlings, get this one instead - it holds 5+ full size seed trays in comfort. I planted loads of seeds, and got my fastest and highest germination rate ever. It is quite big, so you'll need to set it up in a glasshouse/polytunnel/conservatory, or in a shed/garage under lights. I used it against a south-facing patio window, but that might not be an option for everybody.

I bought the Vitopod Heated Propagator a couple of weeks ago from quickcrop, and it has been terrific - all my seedlings came up and the brilliant white light kept them all at a very regular height and they are so even & strong now. Thanks quickcrop - a 5 star for you and Vitopod!!

Easy to put together, build quality looks good too. The display on the thermostat is clear and easy to read. Currently using this for germinating a variety of veg seeds, but will also try rooting cuttings in late summer. Very happy.

Our propagator arrived quickly and well packed(important its an expensive piece of kit!) We have it up and running and so far I would say it has been money well spent. Seed germination seems quicker and better with this than previous years when we did not have a heated unit. We bought the double size and it fits a good number of trays/ modules. Our only difficulty with it was that it was not that easy to assemble. Other reviewers said it was.. but it took us a fair bit of time to figure it out. The diagram that came with it was for the single version and didn't help. We had to go back to the quickcrop site and video of the unit to figure it out.

I had the smaller version of this, but it was that good I just had to upgrade. The best propagator on the market. Great company too, always reliable and fast delivery.

This is definitely the best propagator on the market. I can't believe how easy it was to build and the fact that I can buy additional tiers is amazing. Its a little delicate which would be the only fault I'd have with it but aside from that it really is amazing. Top quality build and its simple to construct and use. Looking forward to growing some tomatoes and other plants I normally wouldn't be able to grow. Thanks quickcrop.

I received my Vitopod over two weeks ago and it's in constant use since . it is well built and made of good quality materials . The easy to read and operate thermostat enables user to determine actual and desired soil temperatures. I am currently germinating both vegetable and flower seed which will give me an earlier start to the planting season. Practical information in the booklet supplied eg how long to leave seedlings in vitopod would be of benefit to the novice. Quickcrop.ie were easy to deal with over the phone, helpful in answering questions and prompt delivering the order. Well done to an Irish based company for this excellent service.

Siobhan Flannery

Pictures don't do this propagator justice. Its huge with room for a variety of plants. I picked up a double height one and I can say it was money well spent. There is enough room to have my seedlings growing on one side and my plug plants, which I plan on keeping in the propagator growing on the other. It was extremely easy to assemble and the thermostat was easy to use and comes with a good length of wire for the plug. I can't wait to try and grow some plants and vegetables that aren't used to the Irish climate.

Asked By Anne

Can you set a different temperature in each half of the propagator?

Answered by Niall
on May 21st, 2018

Hi Anne I am afraid not. The base is all one piece and the thermostat controls the complete base as one unit Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By John Terry

What is the KW capacity of the Large Vitopod Heater ? I reciently brought one and it is using a lot of electricity.

Answered by Niall
on March 16th, 2018

Hi John. It is 100watt but something must be wrong as we use them ourselves and the level of electricity usage is very low on them Regards Niall Quickcrop

Asked By Mandy Smyth
on January 31st, 2017

Hi there, can capillary matting be used with the Vitopod or is overhead watering a better method? Thanks in advance.

Answered by Andrew
on February 01st, 2017

Hi Mandy. Capillary matting is fine as the unit is sealed so water on the base is not going to effect the unit at all.

Asked By Nell McCarthy
on January 31st, 2017

Is it possible to set up lights with this propagator or should I go for the Geopod? I find that lack of light is as much of a problem as lack of heat when bringing on seeds early in the year.

Answered by Andrew
on January 31st, 2017

Hi Nell. The Geopod is better as it has grooves along the top to hold the Lights. That said if you hand the lights then the Vitopod tends to be more versatile.

Asked By alan

Hi is the large vitopod in stock and do you just plug in to normal socket thanks.

Answered by Andrew
on January 17th, 2017

Yes Alan. We always have them in stock and delivery is normally 2/3 days from day of order. Yes you just plug in to a normal socket. They are UK manufactured so UK/Irish plugs.

Asked By alan
on January 13th, 2017

Hi what is the life expectancy of this unit.

Answered by Andrew
on January 16th, 2017

Hi Alan. The Vitopods are very well made so once you take care of it i don't see any reason why you shouldn't have it for 12/15 years at least.

Asked By Michael
on May 24th, 2016

Hi Can you water your plants with this vitopod I am looking to do micro greens ! How does the stacking system work I am newbie gardener!

Answered by Andrew
on May 25th, 2016

Hi Michael. The unit is sealed so perfectly fine to water and it won't affect the electrics on the unit. Each of the layers literally stack in to each other so very easy to build the height up.

Asked By Andreas
on January 25th, 2016

How many of your 54cm x 32 cm seed trays can you fit in the propogator? By the size description fitting two would make sense to me, a reviewer claimed 5! So clarity is necessary Thanks

Answered by Andrew
on January 26th, 2016

Hi Andreas. Thank you for your question. 3 comfortably.

Asked By Philip Marron
on November 07th, 2015

Is the supporting metal frame/table shown in the photo' included with the propagator?

Answered by Andrew
on November 09th, 2015

I am afraid not Philip. Just the Propogator, the covers and the Thermostat

Asked By Joe Murphy
on March 10th, 2015

What is the length of the electrical lead on the Vitopod propagator ?

Answered by Andrew
on March 11th, 2015

Hi Joe. The flex on the vitopod thermostat is 5 foot long.

Asked By anne moloney
on November 29th, 2014

Can the vitapod be used outdoors as I don't have a glasshouse

Answered by Andrew
on December 10th, 2014

Technically the vitopod can be used outdoors, the components are waterproof, well made and hard wearing. I might be a little concerned about wind however as the perspex sides and lid slot together and may blow off in a strong wind. I think the unit is better suited to indoor use. I hope this help Andrew
