With that HF green house being that small you could heat it with a few candles. My GH is 6X8 6mil plastic over a rustic wood frame. Attached to the side of my garage. It is not air tight but close. I light a few candles in there if it's going to be too cold. Last winter we had some 19 degree days & 6 candles kept it 40. I use whatever I can find cheap. At least a votive in a cup so it will hold the wax. Burns all night. I have done this several winters & it doesn't seem to bother the plants any. I have a gravel floor so I nestle the candles into the gravel so there is no threat of fire. Lately I found some pillar candles on sale & some of them will burn for days. Ps... I think my orchids like the vanilla sented ones, sorta reminds them of home. LOL. I have also used an oil filled electric heater It heats evenly, but costs more than the candles do.
