Seed Starter Heating Mat

SEED STARTER HEAT MAT
Sandalwood’s seed starting heat mat will expedite the growing process of your home garden as well as accommodate the perfect temperature conditions for your plants to grow to their full otential indoors or outdoors. For many types of seeds, consistent warmer temperatures are critical to germination. By supplying steady warming to the underside of your plants, this mat encourages successful seedlings and cuttings. The results are remarkable: more rapid germination, bouncier and healthier plants, and riper vegetables than ever before.

EVEN HEAT SPREAD ACROSS MAT
With its thick, multi-layer construction, our heat mat delivers a larger area of warmth that is far more precise and effective than soil heating wires. This enables you to simultaneously warm multiple smaller plants and provide consistent heat.
OPTIMAL WARMTH FOR GERMINATION
As the gentle heat rises from the mat, your plantings’ root area is warmed to 10-20° Fahrenheit above ambient temperatures. This effectively creates the optimal environment for proper germination without the need for constant monitoring.
READY FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE
The 100% waterproof construction of our seedling heat mat repels moisture and is safe for use with both indoor and outdoor plantings. The included heavy-duty 6-foot power cord is also safe for outdoor use. UL Listed. Rated at 17 watts.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
This advanced seedling heat mat from Sandalwood builds on the concept of soil heat wires to bring you the safest, most effective, and most energy-efficient home garden heat source available. Other heating alternatives supply frivolous amounts of heat–most of which is directed towards the top soil above the seedling plant. But the Sandalwood heat mat supplies just the right amount of heat on the underside of growing plants to efficiently make use of energy, and encourage healthy growth.

VERSATILITY
The waterproof construction, durability, and enhanced consistency of temperature-spread of the Sandalwood heat mat allows it to be used as a vital heat source in many scenarios. For instance, the heat mat can be used to wrap around a fermentation vessel to provide the necessary heat for fermented beverages to properly ferment during cold winter months. In addition, the Sandalwood heat mat can be appropriated to provide extra warmth for cagesthat house small pets. Following the appropriate safety precautions specific to each instance, you can utilize the Sandalwood heat mat as your go-to heat source–even if used to simply warm your hands.

The flexibility of the heat mat allows it to be wrapped around larger pots using zip-ties for a more efficient heating result.
GERMINATION CHART
Many home-grown plants require a heat mat to thrive during their early germination stages, which differ in days and are specific to each plant. For optimal results, cover seedlings or cuttings with a humidity dome to contain the heat generated by the heat mat during germination.
