Know before you buy
Yes, these domes are specifically designed to fit standard 1020 seed trays and plug trays, ensuring a snug fit that helps maintain a consistent environment.
The 2.5-inch dome is ideal for initial germination and very young seedlings. The 6-inch dome provides extra vertical clearance, making it better suited for taller starts or if you need to keep the dome on longer as your plants grow.
No, these domes are intended for indoor use only. They are not UV-resistant, so prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the plastic to degrade or warp.
The adjustable vent allows you to regulate airflow and moisture levels within the tray. You can close it to trap humidity during the initial germination phase and gradually open it to harden off your seedlings before transplanting.
Yes, they are constructed from extra-strength recycled plastic, which is significantly more durable than standard, thin-walled humidity domes. This heavy-duty design allows them to be cleaned and reused for many growing seasons.
