Heat Pad

Most seeds require warmth to germinate and this is best achieved by “bottom heat”.

Our custom Heat Pad has been designed and made here in New Zealand by Nu- Klear to fit two of our propagation trays. Note: Does not include a thermostat.

Recommendations for Use:

1. Do not crease or fold the element. Do not puncture or rip the element. Unroll and store flat once received.
2. It is recommended to lay two sheets of plastic over the Heat Pad while in use to prevent wear and tear. Do not cover with excessive insulation to ensure the heat can escape.
3. The Heat Pad must be used with a residual current device.
4. The Heat Pad is not designed to be buried under the soil. It is designed for propagation trays to sit on top of by raising the propagation tray slightly higher than the pad (5mm) it will reduce the heat transfer into your seed trays.
5. The Heat Pad operates at a surface temperature of 30C approximately. This tends to heat the soil in seed trays to around 20-22C depending on room temperature. You can lie a thermometer on the mat or place a soil thermometer in your trays and if the soil is getting above 25C turn off the Heat Pad or take your trays off the pad. The Heat Pad does not come with a thermostat – you will need to purchase this separately if you require this.
