THE WARM HOUSE

At night, in the winter time, the temperature inside the warm house should be 60-70 degrees. If you have a passion for growing African violets, gloxinias, etc…as well as foliage plants which are tropical in nature, you may want to raise the temperature slightly. It’s been proven that you will obtain quicker leaf growth and an increase in plants; if you raise the winter night temperature up by 2 to 5 degrees. You will also find a warm house to be an excellent place to grow what are referred to by older gardening books as: “Stove plants.”

(* Denotes plant usually grown from a bulb, corm, or tuber.)
