Heater for tiny greenhouse
I have a tiny (I mean REALLY tiny) lean-to greenhouse. Approx 2feet deep, 7 feet high and 4 feet wide. New collection of cacti. Wanting a small thermostatic heater. Thinking of a tube heater. Any thoughts ppl have for model, wattage etc? Thanks!

I got 2 from thegreenhousepeople last year. They were about £25 each and worked well coupled with an Inkbird thermostat

Re: Heater for tiny greenhouse
For a greenhouse that small you don't need that big a heater.
Something in the range of 500 watts to 1KW should do.

Re: Heater for tiny greenhouse
My tube heaters are 100 watts and 125 watts. They keep an 8 feet long 2.5 wide, 2 tier wood staging around 3 degrees or warmer. I do bubble wrap the greenhouse walls though.
