Advice in temperature

first time using a gas heater and was after some advice on a good temperature to try to achieve during the night. It’s only been running 2 days so have changed settings a few times and at 3am this morning I was getting 10 degrees at about 5 foot heigh and 6-7 at ground level,any feedback would be much appreciated.

 

Mostly tropicals but a few hardy varieties should have really said in my first post but been rushing around this morning didn’t really think properly . Most are the hardier type tropicals but as everything has been indoors I’m trying to acclimatise them ready for planting. It’s a nice 20 in there at the moment and am hoping to slowly reduce using heater as weather picks up.

 

I think if you aim for 10c overnight, bearing in mind you are in effect hardening the plants off, should be ok if the exotics are hardier types.
I find most things I grow do ok at 5c over the winter and I never raise that in spring, often holding them back is more of a problem as high day temps with more sunshine often brings them on too fast, and things get cramped before it's warm enough outside.

 

Hi,

You might want to consider a ceiling fan or similar to push the heat back down /more even , it will help prevent any cold spots lower down and equally help with humidity /condensation etc.

Good for summer too.
