Sprout by Seed Starter + Heat Pack Seed Germination Kit
$159.95
A Precision Kit for Faster, More Reliable Germination
Paper towels dry out. Plastic bags trap stagnant air. Heat mats warm a wide area at a fixed, imprecise temperature. Most seed germination methods rely on conditions you can't actually control.
The Sprout. + Heat Pack. Kit is built differently. Heat Pack. delivers adjustable, targeted warmth from 20°C to 35°C in 1°C increments. Sprout.'s EU food-grade silicone insulates that warmth into a sealed chamber, with airflow grooves that maintain oxygen exchange and a magnetic lid for easy inspection.
The result is a stable, repeatable microenvironment — the kind serious growers have always needed and home growers rarely had access to.
What's in the Kit
- 1 × Sprout. silicone germination pod (your choice of Black Lid or Orange Lid, both with Black Body)
- 1 × Heat Pack. USB-C powered thermal heater (20–35°C adjustable)
- 1 × USB-C cable
- 1 × Allen key (for temperature adjustment) — pending supplier confirmation
- Instruction manuals
You'll also need: a USB-C wall adapter (5V minimum 1.5A; 20W or higher recommended). Most modern phone chargers work.
How It Works
- Slide the Sprout. silicone skin over Heat Pack.
- Plug Heat Pack. into a USB-C adapter
- Set your target temperature (Allen key supplied)
- Place your seed inside the pod with your chosen germination medium
- Close the magnetic lid — airflow grooves vent gently while the chamber holds heat and moisture
- Lift the lid to inspect; the magnetic seal makes it effortless
- Once the taproot emerges, transplant into your preferred growing medium
Heat Pack. remembers the last temperature setting and resumes automatically when powered on.

- Herbs, microgreens, leafy greens
- Hydroponic and indoor garden seedling starts
