Been looking all over , found these, my lows are only get down into 45 but I just bought a Hawaii Tall and I want to supercharge its growth, want to keep its soil at 80.
what I found so far.............

very low amp rating 25 watts

high amp but doesn't look moisture friendly

little pricy esp if you need a few, only 5 amps
anyone use anything else?
