With the temps dropping and staying so low we are having to run the heater 24 hours a day.
Prior to the damage and destruction this did not create a issue because we had 4 kerosene heaters. 1 is none prepper principle.
Now we are attempting to keep the temps up in the greenhouse with 1 kerosene heater.
Tropical bonsai trees grow better when it is hot (melt your face off hot).
The lowest they will survive is 40 (yes there will be damage to leaf and minimal die back).
In the bonsai world the lemons are called restyle opportunities.
Below 40 and root/trunk damage occurs and the potential is death of the trees (10+ years of time to grow them) and a major loss of income.
You can't sell a dead tree!
(well you could if you are unethical and forever be known as a mallsai dealer)
Friday is being forecast as a rise back to about normal temps so I will know by then what kind of damage we sustained.
Prayers and well wishes are appreciated...
