Hi everyone!
I'm new to orchid growing and I'd love to grow Vanilla planifolia.
I have a small greenhouse set up with an electric heater and that seems to work very well. However, we get power outages around here and with outdoor winter temperatures around 15°F at night my poor greenhouse wouldn't stand a chance, so I've been looking into backup heaters.
I'm considering propane right now but I'm worried that the burning propane might hurt a vanilla orchid due to the fumes. I only plan on using propane when the power is out which could last a few hours. Are my fears justified? If so, what alternatives do you recommend for backup greenhouse heat?
Thanks for reading, and any input would be sweet!
