Bought it to help propagate fig tree cuttings. Needed a mat this larger to place a large clear plastic storage container on it. I potted the fig tree cuttings in clear plastic cups and placed them inside the storage container sitting on a plastic grid work to keep them off the bottom of the container. I then added water but not to the point where it touched the bottom of the cups. I then placed a clear piece of plexiglass over the container thus creating a hot house. I placed the container on the heating mat and plugged it in. The heating mat warms the water just enough to create a very humid condition which in turn makes a very efficient long term growing environment for the cuttings to form roots and leaves. This mat has been very reliable and provides an inside temperature range of around 76 to 79 degrees which is around 8 to 10 degrees warmer than the room temperature. When I need another, I'll be getting one of these again. Great product at a very good price point.Read full review

The product got here quick. The temperature probe works fine. The instruction manual is abit trickery. It dose have a calculus to Fahrenheit conversion. however i noticed whenever i put it to Fahrenheit it tends to get hotter then the desired temperature. even with the heating differential set, it still climbs abit over. I use this for incubation purposes so maintaining correct temperatures is critical. Too hot and all the critters will cook. It might be just my device but still something to watch out for.

Other cheaper Mats Do NOT hold temps above 65. This one actually gets up to 75 with only a little fluctuation. Cheaper Mats are just that, too cheap to keep up the heat. This company seems to be the only reliable one out there.

I REALLY like these mats! Here in western Washington State it usually doesn't get too warm. Yet, I have to get my seeds planted. These mats do the job! I also have a tropical tree that went dormant; again too cold here. I put the tree under the mat and it's starting to grow again. Super easy to use. Plug it in, put the pots on top of the mat and you're good to go. I would definitely buy more of these. Especially, because the price is SO reasonable!

first time to use plant starter heating pads. Works wonders in starting my seeds. Hundred times better results than before I used the heating pad. Go get it.
