Warm surfaces inside houses?

[plantlover13]

I google this and all i get is global warming stuff.  I need a surface of a common object that will stay warm 24/7 (for seed germination) that is not a fridge. My fridge top never seems particularly warm, definitely not in the 70s or 80s needed for some plants. So what should i use?

Get a warming mat. They're not expensive and you can really regulate temperature and duration that they are on.
A heating pad will work temporarily until you get a plant heating mat. The heating pads are not designed for plants, so there are some dangers involved with water dripping on them. So be careful if you try this.

Basically, what you need are two plastic boxes, Submersible heater (for aquarium) and water

I think the aquarium heater is also a good idea. That set up supplies not only high temperature but also high humidity, which most tropicals like. It's just a bit harder to set up, more cumbersome, and heavy.
Actually those of you that already have a tropical fish aquarium could make the existing aquarium multi purpose and save a lot of work.

I use a 10" x 20" seed starter heat mat for germination.  Works great.
