Mine's a really basic one which has a heat pad on the base and I think it heats at between 20 - 30 degrees - one of these days I'll have to test the temperature!

I actually germinated mine by putting them in the warmest place I could find regardless of light (on the shelf behind the burner) and moved them to my only south facing windowsill as soon as they peeped out from under the soil.Ladies Wot Lunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08654796700712330639noreply@blogger.com
