# Is anyone else losing plants (in Ohio) because of this frigid…

Is anyone else losing plants (in Ohio) because of this frigid weather? My house is old and drafty and without space heaters the furnace can’t keep up. So when I’m off to work, I have to turn the space heaters off and the house gets down to about 64/65. I have already lost three plants due to the cold of the house and I think I’m about to lose at least two more. Does anyone have any ideas that would help? Getting so discouraged and I don’t see the weather improving anytime soon.  
On a good note, my Christmas gift is about to bloom. Not sure how because it’s so cold.

I recommend getting some type of big container or a plant shelf that can hold the moisture in, during this cold weather it’s best to use heating lamps and keep the top layer of soil moist to keep the humidity high. Hope this helps 👍🏼

I haven't tried this for plants specifically, but used to live in an old house that wasn't insulated. I had gotten window insulation (basically a clear window cover) and I noticed a difference in how cold it got. Maybe it'll help a little bit!

Maybe try a grow tent? They’re really good at keeping temps and humidity if you set it up properly. They can be pricey but I’m sure there’s cheap one out there.

I lost an entire orchid collection with 25+ rare species about 5 years ago. I was sick about it for so long. This year was the first time I put up the window insulation and attached it to the windowsills. It has made a big difference. It gets cold but not as cold and it keeps out the drafts too.
