Default Re: Heating the "exotic" plant beds

If paying the electric bill is no problem then that will be OK I think. The higher the rating (wattage) the more it will consume electricity.
I bought an electric heating cable that rates 1800 watts (this is considered small) for my citrus trees and my electric bill went up considerably. So I let nature takes its course. Just covered my citrus with clear plastics.
It is just like having your toaster on 24 hours a day or electric iron .
