Hi Tom,
The heater I purchased supposedly does not need a vent,
but is “self venting” and was sold as a greenhouse heater. You have given pause
to worry now! But then, my greenhouse is fairy small (17 feet x nine feet with
an eight foot peak), and I have a strong exhaust fan, a good circulating fan,
and three sliding glass windows that I use for vents, one of which is immediately
above the heater.
Is the temperature range I mentioned in my last missive
reasonable for the Anthuriums?
Happy Thanksgiving,
Christopher

Dear Chris:
Will this propane burner be exhausted in your greenhouse. You have to be
concerned with the combustibles because as I recall we caused leaves to fall
off plants by using a burner within the greenhouse.

Dear Tom,
Thank you for the
advice. Anthurium is a new interest of mine, as I typically have been focused
on the tuber bearing aroids (Amorphophallus, Dracontium, Anchomanes,
Cryptocorne, Arum, Typhonium, etc.) But, I am pleased that my Anthurium harrisi
has just pushed out its first flower.
I am trying to keep
the light levels the same as what the parent plant has. The parent is in a
whitewashed greenhouse under a canopy of tree ferns, orchids and Monstera. The
leaves on the parent are nearly black with silvery white veins. The two
‘babies’ came from the base of the main stem, where there was very little light
penetration, and these leaves are very pale green. So, I am a little concerned
about them being burned. I have them under my son’s orchid bench, in a high
humidity (80%) environment, with the orchids that need low light conditions.
So, as our winter sets in, temperatures in my greenhouse run from 12 degrees C
at night to 26 degrees C during the day. I am installing a propane heater that
will keep the temperatures a bit higher. Any further comments or suggestions?
Thanks,
Christopher

Dear Christopher:
It is probably not the extent of darkness that is important but the temperature
and the degree of humidity. If you bring it up too high in the greenhouse
the light would be better but it could be too hot. Obviously plants respond
favorbly to light, not darkness but the temperature control must be monitored
because if you have nice humidity with too much light you will develop too much
heat. Alternatively conditions too dark might not work either. Clearly
regrowing sick or weak plants is a slow process some times.
Tom
