Déco.fr: Do you have to heat a veranda in winter to keep plants healthy?
Charly: The temperature inside a veranda is an element that will determine the choice of plants to install there. It is therefore necessary above all to know if the veranda will serve as a greenhouse or as a conservatory for plants. In the first case, the veranda must be heated and perfectly insulated to suit tropical plants. A sufficient temperature must be maintained there, generally between 16 and 18 ° C. In the second case, one must simply take care to keep a temperature out of frost because it is there that one will shelter the cold plants during the winter. For example, Mediterranean cacti and plants will spend the off season well sheltered from low temperatures, snow, cold winds and may emerge in the spring. This is also the case for citrus fruits: grapefruit, lemon and orange trees.
