Simple Product That Delivers
Feels warm to the touch, but not hot. Should warm up seeds sufficiently to sprout. Just plugs in ...no switch or thermostat to mess with.

The mat is effective. Last year it took my tomatoe seeds to germinate almost twice longer with the tay on the floor. Now I just had to connect the mat in a regular 120V outlet and voilà, a warm mat is created to set my tray on.

Mine is doing a great job. I've had it for almost a week. It's warm, but not so warm that the soil dries out during the day while I am at work. I added a photo of my broccoli and kale, which germinated in only two days, and which is great because I am a little behind schedule to get my seedlings into the ground outside in early April.

Looks good
This seed propagating heat mat arrived well packaged and in good time. It is smaller than I thought. It is about as wide as a dish remote control. It is supposed to heat a standard seedling tray. When plugged in, the mat heats to about the low setting on a regular heating pad. The one problem I had propagating seeds this spring was poor root development. This heating mat is supposed to solve that problem by keeping the root zone warm. I can't wait to try it next spring.

Good Germination Rates
Some of my cacti seeds require very warm temperatures to germinate, which is why I purchased the seed heating mat. I made a make-shift greenhouse by putting the mat on the floor of an aquarium. Seeds that required higher temperatures were placed on the bottom. Seeds that didn't require as much heat were elevated on a shelf so they could receive indirect warmth. The elevated seedlings have had a decent germination rate. The seeds directly on the mat are known for difficulty in germinating. They are taking a little bit longer.This mat provides great indirect heat. I have a plexiglass lid on the top of the aquarium to contain the heat.

Works great
Inside temp was 65deg with the seedling heat mat seeds had sprouted in three days. Another tray of seeds took 8 days to sprout without the heat mat. I will get more mats for early spring planting.

love it!
If it wasnt for this product I dont think my plants would be any where near this far along. A great way to get a head start when the Michigan weather wont let spring come early.

Glad I purchased these
I use these in my house,(I keep house very cool) shelves are metal racks I think the heating pads were challenged in keeping seed trays warm, when I stacked my seed trays on something to get them closer to the lights (piles of news paper) then they kept seed trays warm, plants love these I'am having great results.

Fast germination
Wy wife planted bok choy, arugula and spinach on Dec. 10. The heat mats arrived Dec. 16. From the original planting the bok choy did not sprout. Replanted and on the heat mats it came up evenly in 3 days. This is a very worthwhile apparatus if you like fresh winter produce as much as we do.

Works well.
I have been using these heating mats for 3 months now. I use them constantly to heat up my Kombucha while it is fermenting. No problems at all! And my digestion is Great!

heat pads not received
I was expecting to pick these up with the other I picked up this morning because they showed that they were in stock. But since they weren’t, please have them delivered to my home so I don’t have to drive about 15 miles one way to get these items.

    Arrived somewhat bent, so I was concerned about damage. Contacted manufacturer who assured me it would flatten when heated, which it did. Seems to work fine. Would have liked a little more instructions.

    When i started using the mat to heat a small "Little food pantry", it did not seem to heat very much. Leaving it plugged in it gradually increased so the inside of the little pantry remains at 45-60 degrees in some chilly MN weather.

    Seedling heat mat
    Let it flatten after you get it. I plugged it in and the heat did the job. Nice gentle heat for the seedlings.

    The heat mat has provided consistent heat for the month that I've been using it. I've had success with both mats that I purchased in quickly sprouting seeds. It doesn't have a thermometer to check the temperature, but the plants seem to like the temperature that it's at.

    This product is great value for the price. AND, it had my seeds germinating much quicker than without the gentle bottom heat. I recommend this seedling heat mat to anyone wanting to grow plants from seed in the house to get a jump start on Spring.
