Seedling Heat Mat


Whether you're propagating your house plants -- or getting a jump start on your garden -- a seedling heat mat will help to make your seed starting a success.



Why use a heating mat? Warm temperatures -- along with moisture and light -- provide optimum conditions for germination. A seedling heating mat, also called a germination mat, will keep the soil around 70°F/21°C -- ideal for coaxing those tiny seeds to sprout.

    About saving seeds...

    Any plant that blooms eventually produces seeds, and seeds are how many plants propagate naturally in their native habitats.

    However, because indoor plants aren't pollinated, their seeds may not germinate. And, seeds produced from hybrids may not grow to the same quality as the parent plant.

    Conclusion? You'll likely be disappointed if you try to propagate seeds collected from your indoor plants. It's much better to buy high-quality seeds from a reputable nursery.

    Green Thumb Tip:

    Give your seedlings sufficient light for strong, healthy growth.

    Seedlings that are given warmth from a heat mat may become spindly if they don't get enough light. You'll get best results with an indoor grow light.
