I’m in Central Texas Zone 8, growing tropical fruit trees and cacti in greenhouses. On an average day, a small electric heater turns on when it gets below 55 degrees. I don’t want it to get below 40.
When we had the Arctic freeze in mid-January, I used a Portable Buddy Heater to keep my 200 sq ft greenhouse warm or between 40-50 degrees.
Propane has been a lifesaver and I should have used it years ago! It’s necessary to save your plants! 🥰🌵🌴🌿🎉
I live in Montana and it gets -56 below it gets freezing ass here we are north eastern Montana more close to the Canadian border and north dakota. With my green house I use solar panel with a battery and I also insulated the walls with styrofoam sheets and I have a 1 fireplace space heater and just a regular space heater and it stays really warm I don't have to do much. But my first year with my green house I didn't installat the walls and I killed my tropical trees and so I say the installation n the solar panels with the solar battery and heaters work really well for me.
That’s very cold… 🥶
This is my second winter in NC and my succulents are barely surviving in the garage attached to our home, I have Chicken lamps set up over them for heat and light. I try to move tables outside from time to time when it’s warmer and sunny. But at night it gets below freezing. So this info is helpful. I want to keep my collection of 25 succulents I brought from California to thrive, not just survive. 😢❤
They have grow mats that radiate heat upwards. Think that would be more effective and cost less in fuel for you in this instance.
Very informative.I know I cannot afford a Greenhouse in Minnesota (and thats ok) I can appreciate vids form people who do have greenhouses 👍🏼
Never give up on the greenhouse dream!
Perfect timing!! Elderberry cuttings in sand and the temps are dropping. Wasn't sure what I was going to do, looking forward to the info!!
I hv 60 cuttings separated into two 5 gallon buckets with 6" of sand as medium in an unheated garage. The temps are dropping into the 20's the next few nights, What temp should I keep them at while they are waiting to be planted once the ground thaws a little?? Thanks so much!!
I inquired truly needing help and received nothing from this channel in the past 30 days and that's just sad.
Think adding a sunroom, a black trombe wall, and a Korean (mass) bench heater would be more sensible than a separate greenhouse for tropicals. A little tank and a propane heater is a lot of bother as well, especially if you get snowed in.
With an attached greenhouse, a Korean bench heater and trombe wall you are building resiliency.
For most of us that just want to keep some tender plants growing longer, a greenhouse with a black trombe wall, and a Korean mass heater (with bench) would be a lot easier and cheaper. I'd still prefer it attached to the house...
Someone else suggested a walipini, or at least do some berming in this instance...
Very few people know anything about any of that. You can get a small prefab greenhouse and a greenhouse heater for $1000 to $2000 dollars. Entry level stuff.
@@PlantFanatics
That's why teaching and talking about it is important. So many already know about propane heaters and small tanks that need refilling during a cold snap. If you get snowed in, and run out of propane, it's a problem...
Adding real insulation and double paned glass/windows will make even tiny bits of heat last much longer
Yes, everything on both of our greenhouses are double walled.
If anything, building a Walipini would be a more viable option, particularly in your climate.
I hear what you’re saying, but for me personally I hate in-ground greenhouses. Accessibility with large plants becomes a pain in the butt. Most people are also not willing to attempt something so uncommon.
A walipini could be made by berming, so you could keep it drive/walk in. Zero steps...
I tried using water as a heat store too. Didn't work for me either.
What color were the barrels?
@@b_uppy Black. Though they weren't barrels but lots of water bottles. Half I painted, half i covered with black tape. No joy.
@@terrenusvitae
You mean not enough joy. Think painting might have worked better. I have stepping stones with different colors and the darker ones are considerably warmer, so I know the difference is significant. If they are in shade, that makes a difference as well...
@@terrenusvitae
btw someone thought a walipini would be a good idea. Think one could do a berm, or in your case create a cob wall on the north side.
@@terrenusvitae
And paint that wall black...
Something about you is so genuine. 🩵 Great info
Wow, thank you so much! And thanks for watching. 😀
