What is a promotional mat?

Promotional mat is a mat used under seedlings to support germination. Another name for promotional mats is thermal mats. Promotional mats increase the rate of success in seedlings by providing a warm, even temperature where the seeds can germinate in warm soil. Different seeds have different levels of sensitivity to the environment, but the seeds generally germinate most effectively at temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 23 degrees Celsius). The promotional mat goes under the seedlings and provides fine, even heat through the lower part of the seedlings.

There are many tricks that people use to encourage seedlings to grow without using promotional mats. Techniques such as setting of seedlings in the warm area of ​​home, for example on the top of the refrigerator or create a promotional mat with a bottle of hot water or other heat source can be successful. Commercial promotional mats, however, provide the most conteable, debt heat for starting seeds.

Promotional mat is made speciallyFor use in humid conditions such as starter seeds, and is safe and waterproof for use in these situations. It is not necessary to modify the thermostat. Mázeka raises the ambient temperature between 10 and 20 degrees rather than keep it at a specific set temperature. Simply select a space for seedlings, place the mat in place and set the seedlings to the top of the mat. Connect the pad and wait until the seeds germinate.

Thermostats of immediate spread are a pleasant choice for most in the home environment, but in some areas the soil is not sufficiently sufficiently for germination. In larger commercial applications or if someone starts with seeds in an unheated garage or dock, a spread that has an adjustable thermostat may be required. These mats are usually more expensive, and are adjustable in the range of approximately 40 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (4.5 to 38 degrees Celsius).

people who use PROperation mats may be surprised at how quickly the soil dries when promotional mats are used. Extra heat will increase the speed that water evaporates from the soil, so plan more frequent irrigation. This accelerated evaporation time is beneficial for seedlings because it prevents the soil from becoming waterlogged. The soil that is too wet can lead to young seedlings developing a condition known as damping, resulting in rapid death.
