Yes, unheated propagators are ideal for starting many common seeds, including vegetables, herbs, flowers and houseplants. They help protect seedlings from draughts and drying out, while creating a more stable environment than an open seed tray.
An unheated propagator should be placed somewhere bright, sheltered and reasonably warm, such as a windowsill, greenhouse bench or conservatory. Avoid placing it in harsh direct sun for long periods, as the temperature inside the lid can rise quickly and may damage young seedlings.
