{"product_id":"heating-mat-seedling-incubator","title":"Heating Mat – Seedling Incubator","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis heating mat is placed under the LED Seedling Incubator to maintain a temperature favourable for germination during the colder months. Essential from October to March, it ensures the seedling plugs stay above 10 °C – the minimum threshold required for germination of most vegetable species. Without it, winter sowings risk delayed or failed germination, leaving you without young plants to transplant when spring arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeating mat sized for the Myfood LED Seedling Incubator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle, even warmth across the entire plug tray surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow energy consumption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play: no settings, no thermostat required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eRole in the system\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeed germination is directly linked to substrate temperature. Most vegetable species require a minimum of 10 °C to germinate, and many summer crops (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, courgettes) need 20-25 °C for optimal germination speed. In an unheated greenhouse or indoors during winter, plug temperatures can drop well below these thresholds, especially at night. The heating mat provides a constant, gentle warmth from below that raises the plug temperature by several degrees – enough to trigger and sustain germination even in cold conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 80% higher germination rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: consistent warmth dramatically improves sowing success\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear-round sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e: start your spring and summer seedlings from October onwards, well ahead of the season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEven heat distribution\u003c\/strong\u003e: gentle warmth across the entire surface avoids cold spots and ensures uniform germination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy efficient\u003c\/strong\u003e: low consumption, designed to run continuously during the cold months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimple to use\u003c\/strong\u003e: place under the incubator, plug in, done – no adjustment needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(47, 167, 54);\"\u003eWhen to use?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the heating mat from October to March, or whenever the ambient temperature around your incubator drops below 15 °C.
