Propagating Equipment
Electric Foil Panels and Heating Cables
Give your plants the best start possible! Gives excellent germination and a high striking rate for cuttings and seeds.
Correct soil temperature stimulates plant growth, thus maximising yield and quality. Bottom heat cables and foils provide the commercial or home hobbyist with the means to efficiently control root temperature in young plants whilst maintaining a microclimate up to 45cm above the bed. The watt density is designed so that even on very cold nights, the bottom heat will keep the plants at the desired temperature.
Bottom heat units are supplied ready-to-install, complete with a factory fitted 'ADLOHEAT' weather resistant thermostat controller (digital thermostat also available).
Heating foils and cables can be used on a bench or on the ground. The system is simple to install and requires no specialist knowledge, just an electrical outlet.
Sizes start from 2 square metres (eg 2m long x 1m wide). Maximum foil size is 12m in length and max width size is 1.2m.
Electric Foil Panel |
|
The facts:
- Specifically designed laminated heating element between heavy aluminium foil and poly backing
- Specifications: approx 150 watts per square metre (custom made to any output required) 240 Volt
- Thermostat controller is factory fitted
- For energy efficiency place 30-40mm polystyrene sheeting underneath foil or insulation foam (prices below).
- Place heavy duty waterproof plastic film (solashield or similar) on top of foil as protection against water damage to foil. (Prices below)
- Provides evenly distributed bottom heat as heat spreads easily along foil.
- We can custom make your foil to suit your size and heat requirements.
The Benefits:
- Safe to use
- High speed germination
- Low operating cost
- Vigorous root development for cuttings and potted plants
- Easy to keep clean and germ free
- Fully portable - roll up and store away while not in use
- Lightweight
- To use simply roll out, plug in and propagate.

Heating Cable |
|
The facts:
- A propagating cable consists of a thermostatically controlled heating element (mounted on mesh) which is placed in a pre prepared growing box and buried in a layer of moist sand.
- Heat then permeates through the sand providing a warm growing environment and microclimate. Ensure sand is always kept damp for maximum even heat distribution.
- Specifications: approx 150 watts per square metre (custom made to any output required) 240 Volt
- Thermostat controller is factory fitted to accurately control temperature.
The Benefits
- Extremely safe to use
- High seed germination
- Low operating cost
- Vigorous root development for cuttings and potted plants
- Ability to plant directly into sand mix if required
- Durable, very long lasting.
