Hi –

I am just completing by hobby greenhouse (see photo) and have been wondering what plants I can put in the greenhouse during the winter months . I am using a 6mil poly covering and I would be able to keep the GH above 35 degrees with the use of a small ceramic heater.
I’m just not sure whether the plants will benefit ( grow) in the greenhouse during the cold months. They will have better light than inside, but it will be much colder.
Here is a list of the plants I would want to put in the greenhouse:
- Eucomis (Pineapple Lily)
- Colocasia
- Alocasia
- Jatropha Podagrica (Buddha Belly Plant)
- Epiphyllums
- Hosta
- Helleborus
Any advice welcome!!
I live in Zone 7b (upstate SC).
