Grow Heaters

Plant heaters that are ideal for regulating the temperature in a mini-greenhouse or grow box, for example, or for growing cuttings.

Grow heater in greenhouse or growing room

With a greenhouse heater, the plants will no longer get cold feet and will continue to grow healthily without winter interruption. Not even the frostiest temperatures can harm your plants if you guarantee them a warm home. To heat your greenhouse, you can use electric, gas or paraffin heaters.

Gas-powered fan heaters and blowers

In the field of plant cultivation, gas heaters have the considerable advantage that, in addition to the heat effect, the air in the greenhouse is also enriched with CO2, which can have a positive effect on plant growth and is virtually equivalent to a fertiliser effect. In contrast to simple radiant heaters, for example, the humidity in the room is not excessively affected, which may make the use of separate humidifiers or their control units superfluous.

The latter is also not necessary with most models of modern gas heaters: The control technology is usually permanently installed in the appliance, so that complicated installations can be largely dispensed with. In addition to safety aspects (especially an ignition fuse), the heating medium should also be considered when purchasing a heater. In addition to pure propane gas, propane/butane mixtures (natural gas) are also common.

Model overview

Here is a brief overview of some greenhouse heaters:

Examples of electric heaters include the Phoenix range of electric heaters from Bio Green, which can heat the greenhouse up to 40°C depending on the model and can be set to spring, summer and winter mode. They are considered to be energy-saving and very efficient. The Indiana circulating air heater is also electrically operated and can heat your greenhouse to 26°C. It is used especially in summer and winter and is known for its particularly high energy savings. Greenhouse heaters that run on gas are the Catalyst Heater 2000 and 4000 A from Bio Green (equipped with a catalytic burner, known for its energy efficiency and very precise thermostat control), as well as the Stainless Steel Greenhouse Heater from HPV, which is equipped with a Blue Flame burner and oxygen deficiency protection and - as the name suggests - has a stainless steel housing.

Of course, there are also other greenhouse heaters, such as infrared radiant heaters or mushroom heaters, which are known for their high quality. Electric heating mats, for example, are popular and have proven to be particularly suitable for young plants, i.e. for propagating cuttings, and achieve good results. Other greenhouse heaters with particularly effective air and heat output can even be described as heating cannons. The 3-channel circulating air heater is also likely to be used as a heating system in some greenhouses. It is said to save considerable heating costs, is easy to install, has two air flow circuits and thus enables particularly good heat distribution. There are also some greenhouse heaters that run on paraffin - however, this type of heating is particularly recommended for smaller greenhouses.
