When you need to go above and beyond for your microgreens and herbs, the Hydrofarm MTMDU Heat Mat is a powerhouse in durability, performance, and size. On top of that, it allows for future expansion when you inevitably introduce more seedlings and cuttings.

Starting with the size of the mat itself, the Hydrofarm MTMDU Heat Mat is quite large, measuring 60 x 21 inches. Even though it has such a large surface area, the mat still manages to evenly heat your plants 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit over ambient temperatures. Your seedlings will love the consistent heating it provides!

There’s no doubt you’ll diversify your plants, right? Every green thumb does. Thanks to the Hydrofarm MTMDU Heat Mat’s daisy-chaining feature, you can create a network of up to five heating mats all working together. What’s even better is that the connectors are waterproof, too!

Whether you’re new to caring for precious little plants or you’re a seasoned gardener, the Vivosun Seedling Combo Set provides all the essential tools to get started right away, along with superb performance to boot.

Thanks to the included thermostat and probe, the Vivosun Seedling Combo Set gives a great deal of control over the temperature of the heating mat. Being able to make fine adjustments ensures you never overheat plants, especially ones that are particularly sensitive to certain temperatures.

The Vivosun Seedling Combo Set is noticeably thicker than other heating mats, along with an extra layer of insulation along the edges, but still flexible enough to be rolled up and stored. More importantly, its IP67 waterproof rating means it has no qualms about being placed in a greenhouse or indoor garden.

If you’re looking for more bang for your buck, the AC Infinity SUNCORE A3X2 Dual Seedling Mats are an excellent value. You’re getting two mats right off the bat, giving you an opportunity to diversify the kinds of plants you’re growing. Why stop at seedlings when you could work on cuttings, too?

For starters, the AC Infinity SUNCORE A3X2 are particularly good at heating up. The magic comes from its far-infrared film that ramps up the heat quickly and evenly. In fact, the mat features a built-in heat dial that allows you to adjust the temperature on-the-fly.

On top of providing uniform warmth, the AC Infinity SUNCORE A3X2 can take quite the beating. It doesn’t feature two or three layers of protection, but four layers of durable PVC with IP67 waterproofing for longevity and easy cleanup.

Learning a new skill can be a lot of fun, but equally frustrating without a sense of direction. Thankfully, the Super Sprouter Premium Heated Propagation Kit completely removes the agonizing experience of growing your own seeds.

Setting up the Super Sprouter Premium Heated Propagation Kit is a breeze, thanks to everything that’s included in the box. You lay out the heating mat, bury the seeds in soil, and close it with the included clear plastic dome. Thanks to the grow light featured on the dome, you don’t even need adequate lighting—the grow light does that for you!

That’s all well and good, but what’s arguably the best aspect of the Super Sprouter Premium Heated Propagation Kit is the booklet. It’s an excellent source of knowledge and expert advice you can digest as you wait for your seeds to sprout.

Who doesn’t love a warm glass of tea? If you’re looking to ferment your own kombucha alongside your herb garden, the Propagate Pro Kombucha Heating Strip is a unique and versatile option.

When you get right down to it, the Propagate Pro Kombucha Heating Strip’s dimensions are its greatest strength. It’s perfectly suited for windowsill gardens, in addition to being long enough to wrap around large 1 gallon mason jars. With two heating strips in a single package, you can ferment kombucha with one strip and grow some lemon bergamot with the other. The possibilities are endless!

The most surprising characteristic of the Propagate Pro Kombucha Heating Strip is its efficiency. With just 7 watts of power, it has no problem consistently radiating 5 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit over ambient temperatures. It even uses old school tricks to save on more energy with the use of a thermometer strip.

At some point, you went from a beginner to a confident gardener. Good job! However, it’s time to upgrade your setup with budget in mind. No heating mat fits the bill better than the Root Radiance Seedling Heat Mat Pad.

With how evenly the Root Radiance Seedling Heat Mat Pad distributes heat, you’ll quickly notice the process of germination and propagation happening at a far more consistent rate. It’s especially good at creating an optimal environment for seeds and cuttings by warming the root area 10 to 20 degrees over ambient temperatures.

Diversity is the spice of life and the iPower Seedling Heat Mat’s design encourages you to indulge. Given how large it is, you can easily grow vegetables, herbs, plants, flowers, even ferment kombucha all at the same time. In fact, if you use an iPower thermostat, it’s equally useful for warming terrariums.

In addition to being versatile, the iPower Seedling Heat Mat is quite durable for such a massive mat. It features an IP67 waterproof rating, making it safe to wipe down after prolonged use. More importantly, iPower’s carbon heating film is sandwiched between a strong, durable layer of PVC plastic.
