Agritape Heat Mat and Controller

Place the copper probe directly into the soil of one of your seed trays, ideally near the center. The controller uses this reading to adjust the heat output, ensuring the root zone stays at your set temperature regardless of ambient room conditions.

Since both mats plug into the single controller, they will operate at the same temperature setting. It is best to group plants with similar germination requirements on the mats to ensure optimal results for all.

The mats are designed to be water-resistant and durable enough for the moist environment of a greenhouse or seed-starting station. However, they should not be submerged in water.

Yes, this system is specifically designed for cooler environments. While the mats provide consistent bottom heat, keep in mind that if the ambient air temperature is extremely low, you may need a humidity dome to prevent the soil surface from drying out too quickly.

For most seeds and cuttings, consistent heat is beneficial for faster germination. You can leave the system running continuously, as the controller will automatically cycle the power to maintain your target temperature.

The controller is designed to maintain standard propagation temperatures, typically ranging from room temperature up to approximately 105°F. This covers the needs of almost all common vegetable, herb, and flower seeds.
