My mini greenhouse is cozy in the winter. The ceramic heater keeps the ambient temp at 58 degrees day and night, but the solar gain on sunny winter days takes the temp to a plant loving 65-75 even when the outside temp is in the 20's. Right now in January, my Meyer lemon has about 20 lemons ripening while the geranium is blooming. You can see the silvery backed builder's foam behind the lemon that helps keep the heat in on the north side of the greenhouse. On the lower shelf the hibiscus is blooming and soon I'll have a few lovely gardenias as well.
The sweet bay is just happy to be inside since it would not like the temps in the low 20's so much!
