Heating Pads
 

Hiyas all,

I live in NZ, and am looking for some help locating where I could buy a
cheap, small heating pad for seed germination.

Any clues?

Not so sure about NZ itself, but Greenpatch in Australia sell them and
I'm pretty sure they ship to NZ.

In NZ itself, have you tried Kings Seeds? They may have goodies such
as that.

Hi. If you dont find one, set your tray of seeds in top of your
refrigerator or freezer. Check it every couple of days to keep up with
their progress. After they start coming up, take them down and put them in
some good light.

Thanks for those suggestions!

I am trying to propagate banana seeds, and everywhere I read says it has to
be a constant ~20C for them to be a happening thing. Plus the heat will help
over the winter :)

Hi Anna

Last year I was having trouble germinating chilli seeds so I used a heat pad
purchased from a home brew shop and rigged it up to a thermostat from an old
water bed. It worked like a charm. I would suggest that a suitable
thermostat would be available commercially that you can just plug in from an
electronics supplier.

An old aluminium fridge tray was used with dividers and filled with seed
raising mix. An acrylic (Perspex) top was put on top and the thermostat bulb
placed inside.

I just used a mist spray every few days to keep it moist.

This above link is the same place we get some stuff for work.
The Neem oil stuff seems to work quite well.
We've used it on Aphids and Spider mites.
