Temperature & Humidity

Maintaining constant temperature of between 20º - 28ºC encourages rapid germination and healthy seedlings. It is important to note that the faster clones or seedlings establish, the higher the success rate and the healthier the young plants will be. Temperature and humidity play an important role in successful propagation. Clones or seeds should be placed in a cloning chamber to promote a warm, moist environment. While humidity is important, monitor the chamber daily to avoid excessive condensation build up. As a rule, if water droplets trickle down the sides of the chamber, it is too wet and the vents should be opened, as extremes of temperature and/or excessive humidity will inhibit germination and the establishment of healthy seedlings.
