Hello
	Whether you keep them on the heat mat or not really depends on the type
of seed. Some prefer cooler temperatures (such as snapdragons
Antirrhinum)others prefer heat (such as lisianthus Eustoma). I know that
this isn't much help. Many source books list germination temperatures
and growing on temperatures when there is a difference. In general we
take them off the heat because of space requirements unless we know they
need heat.
