nothinghead Posted September 20, 2010 Don't know whether bottom heat will help for growth after seedling stage, but it'll certainly be useful for getting buttons to root. I've just used dry, coarse sand or a dry very low humus mix to root loph buttons. Didn't find any real tricks to it, although I've heard putting a little moisture down very seldomly (and after they are fully calloused, of course) can help. I wouldn't try with watering until I'd waited a good six months with a dry mix, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted September 20, 2010 I can only say that light is far more important than heat, seedlings are said to be harder than mature plants, sometimes. I never used a heat pad, but I would like to experiment with it too... I would guess though that heat pad + rooting pup should not be too warm or it might shrivel the pup too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
