Propagation Lights

Whether you are propagating from seed or taking cuttings, using the correct lighting helps reduce stress, prevent stretching and create a stable environment for young plants to thrive.

Why Choose Propagation Grow Lights?

• Propagation Lights Offer A Gentle, Targeted Spectrum: Propagation Grow Lights typically produce a cooler, blue-leaning spectrum that supports strong early leaf and root formation.
• Low Heat Output: These lights generate minimal heat, allowing them to be positioned close to seedlings and cuttings without the risk of scorching or dehydration.
• Energy Efficient: Ideal for long daily lighting periods, propagation lights run economically while delivering consistent and reliable light levels.
• Multiple Light Options: Choose from LED, T5 fluorescent or CFL propagation lights to suit your growing space, budget and plant numbers.
• Perfect for Small Spaces: Designed to fit neatly over propagation trays, shelves, racks and mini grow tents.

Propagation Grow Lights FAQs

What are Propagation Grow Lights?

Propagation Grow Lights are specially designed plant lights that provide the correct light intensity and spectrum for seedlings, cuttings and newly rooted plants during their earliest growth stages.

Do I need a propagation light or will any grow light work?

While standard grow lights can be used, propagation lights are better suited to young plants as they offer gentler light levels and lower heat output, helping to prevent stress and excessive stretching.

How long should propagation lights be on each day?

Most growers use a lighting schedule of around 16 to 18 hours per day during propagation to encourage steady, healthy development.

How close should propagation lights be to plants?

Because propagation lights produce very little heat, they can usually be positioned close to seedlings and cuttings. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for best results.

Which type of propagation grow light is best?

LED propagation lights are energy efficient and long-lasting, while T5 fluorescent lights provide even coverage across trays. CFL options are a cost-effective choice for smaller propagation areas.

Tips for Successful Propagation

• Use a timer to maintain consistent daily light cycles.
• Ensure even light coverage across trays by positioning lights centrally.
• Monitor temperature and humidity alongside lighting to create a stable environment.
• Combine lights with propagation trays or humidity domes to support early growth.
