Know before you buy
While primarily designed for seed germination, the consistent temperature control makes it suitable for other indoor horticultural needs, such as rooting cuttings or maintaining soil warmth for tropical plants. Ensure the soil probe is correctly positioned to monitor the temperature of the root zone.
The included controller is designed to support up to four of these 10-foot Agritape heat mats simultaneously. This allows you to scale your germination setup without needing to purchase additional controllers.
Yes, the system is built with waterproof and properly grounded components specifically for use in greenhouse settings. However, it is intended for indoor use only, so ensure your greenhouse structure is enclosed and protected from direct outdoor elements.
The controller allows you to set your desired soil temperature between 40°F and 100°F in precise one-degree increments. This level of accuracy is essential for meeting the specific germination requirements of different plant species.
For the best results, insert the probe directly into the soil or growing medium near the center of the heat mat. Placing it close to the seeds or root zone ensures the controller is regulating the actual temperature the plants are experiencing.
