• Temperature range 0-40ºC (32-104ºF).
• Temperature is measured by an encapsulated thermistor / sensor on the end of a 1 metre cable.

These all new aluminium encapsulated versatile heatmats easily roll up when not in use. They substitute for both spring propagation and heating and winter protection. If you have had problems in keeping your favourite tropical plant alive in a cool greenhouse during the winter (e.g. Heliconia or Plumeria) this may be a solution, acting as a heated bench. The mat is best placed on to an insulation layer, then covered in a sheet of plastic or glass. With the remote thermostat placed in your propagator media or underneath potted plant trays, the temperature is accurately controlled saving running costs in warmer weather.

A soil warming cable is the ideal way to propagate seeds and cuttings on a greenhouse bench. A simple frame can be constructed from wood to form the propagating area required, which is them lined with polythene. The cable is laid onto a 5cm of horticultural sharp sand and covered with a further 5cm of sand. Alternatively the cable can be laid out on to an insulating material like polystyrene sheet and covered over with tin foil then a layer of polythene and then some felt matting to hold moisture under the seedtrays.

The cable is normally laid in runs 3" to 4" apart. This layout will allow you to raise the soil temperature by 11-13 C, above the greenhouse ambient. Higher temperatures can be achieved by laying the cable runs as close together as 5cm. In this case a thermostat should be used to precisely control the soil temperature to avoid over heating.

This Parasene thermostat is ideal for use in conjunction with the Parasene soil warming cables above. It provides automatic control and makes more economical use of the cables. (Please note that if this thermostat is to be used with the Biogreen heating cables, an extension 5 amp fused socket must be wired to the thermostat to be able to plug in the soil warming cable which cannot be wired in directly)
