next feb, i am planing on having rooted plant cuttings.........will i need mats for that if i have a heated room?? i have have a heated sun room ....will have 4 flats of root cuttings for my planting in april....coleus, petunias, ivy, and possibly impatiens...will rotating the plant trays every other day be sufficient light...ie so that they completely get natural sunlight....or do i need other light??

Feb is a good time because you can buy Xmas lights after Xmas cheap . Just watch for extra flats same size , put Xmas lights in first flat , set other flat on top , instant bottom heat , cheaply .
The day before Xmas Wall-mart had net lights on sale for a buck , bought 10 .
I am in San Fransico - bay area . Usually doesn't get that cold , but when in doubt , I drape a set of net lights over orchids , ferns , and a couple others I can't spell .
