Description
The ROOTiT Medium Heat Mat will raise your propagator temperatures 10 to 15 °C above the ambient temperature. This will enable you to germinate and clone successfully during the colder times of the year and will also help you to sprout seeds that require higher temperatures to germinate.
ROOTiT Heat Mats produce a gentle heat, generated by the single mesh element encased inside a waterproof, fray-proof matting. Place the mat under a propagator or similar non-draining container, not inside of them. The mats’ surface temperate may however exceed 50 °C when turned on and should ideally be used with a temperature controller. Inserting a temperature controller’s waterproof temperature probe into the substrate used inside the propagator will enable you to regulate your substrate temperature automatically. Always try to match up your propagator size to your heat mat size. If the pad is larger than the propagator there will be heat loss on the exposed mat areas. If the pad is smaller than the propagator, the substrate will not be heated uniformly and/or adequately.
