Any idea what temperature this gets to? thinking of using it for bottom heat for seedlings- thanks.

Not sure. It gets so hot on my feet that I have to shut it off if that is any help.

On my carpeted office floor it was "nicely warm" that after 10 minute thouroughly warmed the cold rubber soles of shoes all the way through to warm the feet inside. When I put my hand on it, it was nicely warm but would never "burn"... although I never tried holding my hand on it for 15 minutes straight, etc. I have no idea what that means on actual degrees F/C. I do not know if it has a sensor inside it to target a temp by regulating power, or if it is as simple a fixed amount of power and it becomes whatever temp it does due to thermodynamics of the surrounding environment. As it is very simple / no moving parts / etc... my guess is the later.

Even on the low setting (with optional switch - additional cost) it gets almost too warm to rest your feet (while wearing socks) but it's not bad, might work great actually

I just shot it with the infrared thermometer it's 113 deg. and toasty on my feet. It's 42 out side w/ 27% humidity & 33 with the wind chill. Should work great for plants (or the tomato seedlings in the window anyway) but be sure to keep them watered and in some sun-light, the heat will cause quicker evaporation. try putting potting cups in a shallow sheet pan and place the pan on the pad add water to the pan as needed, the water may hold the heat transferred a little better.

Dont worry it won't burn yr plants.I had mine 4in away.my plants loved it . Just make sure you have air circulation. Keep track of yr humidity. Good luck with yr plants .

i am in zone 9 and have not had good luck with it here. i think it is too hot. i will plant some more seeds in sem shade and see what happens.

Our house is usually between 65 - 80 degrees fahrenheit. plant seems to like those temps.

Not sure of temp. It's hot but not enough that It would burn you. Works nice.

Room temperature is fine. Sun exposure, I wouldn't recommend it. When you expose it to the sun, the cutting tries to grow as well as root itself. It really needs all the energy for making new roots. And the back of the product doesn't recommend it either. It's best to keep it inside or outside, depending on which plant you have, and keep it out of the sun. ONLY when it starts to have new growth or buds coming from it do I recommend putting it in sunlight.

The water is sprayed up and around the root zone from the reservoir. It works great, I couldn't get the roots to grow at first because my water temp was above 80 degrees due to the system being under a 400watt mh light. I moved it away from the light and the water temp came down to about 70degrees and roots started to grow rapidly. Remember to clean the reservoir after every use. I'm still using this cloner machine.

It keeps my 150 gallon pond a warm 75 degrees, but it fluctuates. It is made for an aquarium, so I would guess it will take a while, but it will warm a 250 gallon tank...though it may fluctuate some. Mine fluctuates about 10 degrees (5 up, 5 down), keep in mind mine is outdoors and the outside temps fluctuate too. ;)P.S. I am very happy with my purchase!

It doesn't get very hot below, I've used it outdoors over a wood-chip path before with no concern. I'd be wary of plastic, but probably wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, heat rises!

the heat blows out of the bottom underside. the heater itself does not get all that hot. it is a nice unit and we like it, but with toddlers, I think you might want to put it on a pedestal of some sort away from little fingers.

Haven't experienced any problems with heat. The containers are great for holding moisture. I haven't had to water my front porch plants as often since switching to these.

I would use it inside. The ambient soil temp needs to be in the 70;s to sprout and grow plants such as herbs. Assuming that your sunroom is heated. If not you might try it with a seedling mat.

Worked fine for me as a seed starter heater. Keep an eye on the heat may have to put a towel between heat pad and plant if to warm.

hi! I live in zone 7b and the root I planted is growing indoors very well. I am planning to set it outside in a container as soon as the weather is hot. I understand turmeric likes it hot.

I dont know the exact temperature, but at the center edges whear the pot sits above the burner they exceed 700 degrees Fahrenheit, and the legs get unconfortably warm to the touch, but not hot enough to burn/mark wood decking.

The plant does not like too much water, potting soil will do. As for temperature, USDA zone 8-10, but I live in a zone 11-12 area but they still grow here.If the germination process took more that two weeks, than those seeds got over-dried and you should get rid of em. It didn't took two weeks and I got my seeds to sprout.

I don't see why it wouldn't give you that temp. You wouldn't want to stick it too far into the soil though, so it might not stand up. Almost any thermometer would do for that.
