Aeroponic propagator

Has anyone got one Aeroponic propagator ? opinions are they worth it I fancy one but they are quite steep .

 

Hi

if your thinking of producing lots of cuttings, it’s very useful I don’t have but a gardening friend does that grows lots of fuchsia , she changes the water every week max 10 days

 

I'd not heard of them, just a quick look seems you have to need a lot of cuttings to make it worth while.

Also I wonder if there is a problem at the stage when moving the cuttings to normal pots.
But I suppose that is just similar if you root cuttings in water.

 

A much cheaper version... A friend who was a horti apprentice on Tresco told me what a head gardener there did. Pot full of perlite, loads of cuttings jammed in, keep damp. I've done it for a range of trickier stuff (protea, grevillea, cobaea) and it's great. I have the pots in a big tray with a permanent thin pool of water so it absorbs. And it's good on space, because with tricky stuff you get a lot of failures.

 

I thought they were quite steep for what it is I could properly make one if need be, I tend to forget about cutting that's why I were considering one . Think I'd be better off investing in a heat mat or another propagator .
