Is there a feature, when adding a plant cutting to Planta, that incorporates the fact that it has been placed in a propagator? I can't see one, which seems like a bizarre oversight if so.

Yes you click “add plant” and then it should give you an option to add it as a propagation. I’ll add a picture of how it shows up for me

Ah man that’s too bad

By propagator, I meant a plastic dome with a vent that encases the cutting in order to artificially influence the temperature and humidity around it. Here is an example of mine. This is something that I was hoping that I would be able to input so as for Planta to take that into account regarding watering and moisture checks, for example.

What do you mean by propagator? Is that a type of propagating tool I'm unaware of??

#### James replied on 2026-07-14

I have attached an image to an above comment to show what I am referring to. To explain briefly what I mean by a propagator, I mean a plastic dome with a vent that enclosed the plant cutting in order to create a humid environment with high moisture around it.

You can put a cutting of some plants in water and propagate it.

There’s a lot of confusion here 😅😅 I’m almost certain Planta takes into account that most people use techniques to keep moisture up in the beginnings. It doesn’t say just “water the plant” with propagations, the prompt is “check moisture” to be more generalized
