    Now our conservatory is finished I have been mulling over what I can grow in there although it is small, 4m x 3m and South facing so it will be too bright for most plants.
    Val, I have some Lithops in there :blue thumb:.
    It is more for us to sit (and eat) in, not primarily for plants, I have the greenhouse for that.
    We are having a rad fitted but I don't know what the minimum temps will be during the night when it's off.

    Peter, mine has nine opening vents all the way round and three doors so hopefully air circulation shouldn't be a problem, too much light may be.

        You could use these:
        1. Billardiera longiflora
        2. Dregea sinensis
        3.Hibbertia aspera
        4. Jasminum polyanthum

        They are good for conservatories. However, a word of caution- you'd need to protect them from the extreme temperatures.
        Hope it helps!
