I put the four Drosophyllum in the 10" pots (25cm external - 22cm internal) into an outside grow tent at the start of last weekend and today decided to change the cover as the old one had lost most of the plastic from the top and was merely serving as a net to keep off birds. The Drosophyllum therefore were being rained on which wasn't helping them feeding and putting on a bit more size before the weather gets too cold.
Now wouldn't things be much better if retail outlets kept things the same on their own brands. The new cover was a bit bigger than the old one, by several inches , so I spent a jolly time wiring it up so it fitted a little better. A fold here, a tuck there I was beginning to feel like a plastic surgeon. At least it was bigger and not smaller I suppose. Anyway the new cover is on, the slug electric barriers are activated although I'm not too satisfied with the jumble of wires in the middle of the four pots. I'll have to work out something to make that area clearer. I'll possibly add on extra tabs around the pots and make some shorter connectors.

I didn't know they stocked replacement covers , I was told for the propagators I use the covers cost similar to a new unit so weren't worth replacing, what make is it Fred if you don't mind sharing, I replace mine every couple of years as the UV turns the platic into the weakest material known to man

Mine are from Wilcos, corky. They sell the covers off very cheaply at the end of the season.  |

suggestion to block the passage of slugs would you go adding eggshells. these mashed leave a wire above and slugs do not walk on shells crushed eggs

How many seedlings do you have in each glass?
Quantas mudas você tem em cada recipiente?

Yes,there needs to be a way for the roots to get down through the medium. Is there not a way that you can remove the glass with minimum disturbance to the roots?
Sim, é preciso haver um caminho para as raízes descerem através da mídia. Não há uma maneira que você pode remover o vidro com o mínimo de perturbação para as raízes?

It is disposable plastic cup 200ml. this in 45 days or less because of the small size, I will cut the funds of the cup and move to the fixed vessel. my fear is time, 45 days.
when germinating, you leave all the time in the sun? qdo also germinated in sun or little sun?
Here's a new one, the sun fell. luckily I put water and she recovered and amanhaceu ok. but I was afraid.
ps. you would like to meet a forum that I participate here in Brazil?

If they are plastic disposable cups then they should be easily completely removed. A sharp knife and a little thought and the job is done.
Se eles são copos descartáveis de plástico, então eles devem ser facilmente removidos completamente. Uma faca afiada e um pouco de pensamento eo trabalho é feito.

Yes, I intend to do so. I have 45 days being a short time. But due to the size of the cup will have to be ahead of time
