Re: Greenhouse Temps..
Really depends on what you're growing. Many plants can survive (in the UK) in an unheated greenhouse. If you're growing Melocactus, Uebelmannia, Arrojadoa or Stapelias, Huernias etc it might need to be as warm as 10`C.

Re: Greenhouse Temps..
If you have anything that requires a lot of heat the usual thing is to put them in a propagator if you can so you are only heating a very small area.I fear this winters heating bills are going to shock a lot of people
