I have two 8x10ft heated benches, but they are mostly for Hippeastrum that need a little extra heat, plus a few others, and I don't have room for the Calostemma on the benches, but now I am motivated to get the ones grown from seed to bloom, so I will try making space. This was an unusually warm summer here on the north coast, and I think that made the difference. There is a blog posting about the benches, which are covered in propagation mats on thermostats.
