ROOT!T Heat Mat - Large (400mm x 1200mm)

Product Information

Growing Vaccinium in Containers- Growing the other Shrubby members of the Blueberry Family 30/01/2023 The ROOT!T Heat Mat Thermostat helps maintain the optimum rooting temperature for faster seedling and cutting growth. It does so by allowing you greater control over your growing environment, by monitoring the temperature and switching your heat mat on and off as required, within a pre-defined temperature range. An easy to read digital display ensures that users are able to monitor temperatures and take action where required. Using the Root!t Heat Mat Thermostat:

The ROOT!T Heat Mat Thermostat is also included and helps maintain the optimum rooting temperature for faster seedling and cutting growth. It does so by allowing you greater control over your growing environment, by monitoring the temperature and switching your heat mat on and off as required, within a pre-defined temperature range. I made the jump many years ago to propagate my heat-loving seeds like aubergine, chilli and sweet peppers. I can remember waiting days for the seeds to germinate before buying the heat mat. Give your seed the best treatment. If you have any questions and comments you want to germinate and sprout. Please do so in the seedbox (comment box) below.This is why the soils will be heated from 8 to 11.5 degree Celsius above ambient temperature, which in a home that is heated with central heating can be large in the first place (i.e. 20 degrees to 31.5 degrees Celsius). It will give you the extra heat that is required to germinate those seeds that like higher temperature. 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. The ROOTiT Small 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.

It works great in hot and dry conditions without fear of causing damage. Thermostats will do this job, as it now controls the temperature the compost is set to. For example, you have to set the soil temperature to 21 degree Celsius. Then the probe placed in the compost will switch on the mat when the temperature recorded in the probe reaches 20 degree Celsius. IT WILL NEVER OVERHEAT THE SEEDS In this article, I will be talking about heat mats and their importance on propagating seeds, especially the root it heat mats . In a previous article, I talked about electrical propagators and their use in germinating seeds, but if you have a large number of seeds then a heat mat becomes necessary. Heat mats warm the rooting area to the ideal temperature required for speedy propagation, whether seed-germination or rooting cuttings these mats offer more uniform heating than others. The wires throughout are waterproof, frayproof layers deliver the durability to withstand rugged greenhouse environments, providing uniform heat distribution and eliminating hot spots.
