Thermostat

It is important to keep your greenhouse temperaturee between 70-78 degrees Fahrenheit. This range suits a wide variety of plants.


Humidistat

Find out the desired humidity range for your plants. After you know what they need, take several readings of the humidity in your growing area--try late at night, early in the morning, noon, and evening. This will indicate whether a humidistat is right for you.


Heating

You need to consider how much area is heated by each product. A reliable vendor will share a chart showing how much area is heated by each of its products. This is vital information without which can spell disaster for your entire growing operation.


Heating Cables

Heating cables can be a resourceful way to sprout stubborn seedlings. Plants tend to hatch better in warm soil but a space heater doesn't heat the soil to the indicated temperature quickly enough. Heating cables with a built-in thermostat heat up every time the soil falls below optimum levels.
