If you have an aquarium, you may be wondering if your plants can touch the heater. The answer is yes! Aquarium plants are not harmed by coming into contact with the heater, as long as the heater is not too hot. In fact, some plants actually prefer to be close to the heater, as they thrive in warm water. So, if your plants are getting too close to the heater, don’t worry – they’re just trying to get comfortable!
