Electric Heaters
Grow your plants bigger, stronger, faster and healthier in any season.
By warming the soil and keeping consistent warmth at the root zone you will speed up seed germination and the striking of cuttings as soil temperature is the limiting factor in germination of seeds and plant growth.
When used with the Green Harvest Mini Greenhouse, the heat creates a mini-greenhouse effect, providing ideal growing conditions leading to optimum propagating results. The bottom heat creates warm moist air which condenses on the top of the clear dome cover and drips down to your young plants.
Also, very popular to keep valuable plants alive in colder temperatures such as orchids or plants more accustomed to warmer regions.
Can also be used for warming young pets or when caring for wildlife.
By placing on an insulated surface, i.e. not a cold floor or steel bench top, better results are achieved.
