Looking great brother!! That's an enormous head start on the competition you have there
Either you can sell early or grow them bigger and get more revenue from that

Hope so, got another batch to start when spring hits so I can see if it actually helps or not. Be most likely a year before they flower so this is a long term ongoing project with much thought going into where the hell am I going to keep them as they grow. So next major undertaking is getting dad's little old green house out back up to standard for next winter as well as some plant benches (pallets). Trying to source some 3" or 4" clay pots cheaply for final potting while keeping total cost under $3.00 for singles. Wanna do some grafting for thick caudex's so that'll add to it.

Don't know how big the greenhouse is, but to keep it warmer you can place a couple of 52 gallon drums filled with water inside. They heat up during the day and give of heat during the night.

It's just a 3 x 3 on my front porch at the moment....just knocked it together to over winter my passion fruits and carry the adeniums through....Will start working on the big one out back this spring, it's about 6 x 8 so not big, planning on using the heat mats like in the little one.

Oh ok, then a 54 gallon drum will be to much, but there's load of things you can do to keep the warmth in. The best is to double layer the plastic with some spacer in between so there's air inside. The water vessels, painted black are another.

How To Heat A Greenhouse for Free – Mother Earth News

Wondering how to heat a greenhouse for free? We list the cheapest way to heat a greenhouse in winter and keep temperatures steady.

In small greenhouses such as yours the 24 hour candle under a clay pot heat radiator could be enough to keep it at a certain temperature.

You can also build a heating table...

And fill it up with sand. This will create a large thermal mass... this table is about 4 x 8'

Seems most of everything made it through the rough part of our winter. Be glad to get the passions in the ground in a few weeks.

Everything out in the fresh air. Did some sucker cuts on the passionflowers and a few cuttings on the new roses. Getting crowded
