Heating mats or heating lamps (slrpnk.net)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello to everyone,

So I am growing a set of plants this winter, soil in terracotta pots with some terracotta ollas for watering them. I have the plants sitting in the window, about 8-9 inches away from the pane itself to keep from getting too cold, and have the grow light over, so that way they are getting light in that cycle, the lights being on during the day time so that when the sun isn't as strong, the lights can help.

I was thinking about whether or not I should get a heating mat for them as well, or a heating lamp to help keep them from being too cold. What would be your recommendations?

The plants are as follow:

Lemon balm, Orange Hat Tomatoes, Bush Pinto Beans, and Tom Thumb Lettuce.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you for reading!
