Preparation for the summer season begins in March. Lovers of fresh vegetables grown in their own garden, gradually begin to pick up the seeds and prepare for the care of seedlings.
If you decide to grow sweet peppers, tomatoes or cucumbers for the first time, be sure to read the recommendations of specialists. The main condition for a successful seed shoot is warm. A typical novice mistake is placing a container with seedlings on a windowsill, where after turning off the heating, the temperature may be even lower than in an apartment. 
With certain skills, you can make a device for heating the root system on your own or purchase a special “warm” mat from the online store. This household appliance is in demand due to its versatility. In the autumn, using an infrared mat, you can dry the fruit, in the winter, put your shoes in order after a long walk, and in the spring to grow beautiful seedlings. 
Outside the product is covered with a moisture-proof material that is easy to clean with a vacuum cleaner or brush. Cable length is 1 meter, power - 25 watts. Temperature adjustment is not provided.
The cost of a heater for seedlings in Russian online stores from 700 to 1000 rubles. On the AliExpress marketplace also presented "warm" mats, the parameters of which have minimal differences. For example, the device power is 18 W, and the cord length is 1.85 meters.
Buyers note that when using a rug with an infrared element, seeds germinate 25-40% faster due to direct soil heating. The product from China perfectly fulfills its function, and also has no unpleasant smell. In addition, the economical heating of the plants has practically no effect on the power consumption.
When using a seedling heater, the seller recommends following two simple rules:
- Do not immerse the product in water or other liquid.
- Do not install it near heating devices and insulating materials.
On the AliExpress website, the cost of a “warm” rug is about 1,100 rubles. This is a bit more expensive than in domestic online stores, so some buyers are not advised to spend time waiting for a package from China, and make an order in the near future.
