I don't think, that I understand your concerns. A heating throw goes underneath the pots. On a
60" by 50" throw, there is plenty of space for your pot and a whole slew of others. With a big pot it just
takes a bit longer, before the soil reaches the desired temperature. Once that has happened it will stay
there for the rest of the winter or whatever. Of course, you might want to protect the throw with a thin
plastic sheet. My throw cost me (on pre-X-mas sale) $32.- and cents.
