This window stays in the lower 60F. All the fuschias seem happy as can be here. This triphylla type likes it a little hotter, the color is faded, and it has dropped many leaves. These fuller upper parts will be new cuttings in spring. I have night low indoor of 50 in the back room for bulbs and epiphytes and 70 high in the loft for banana and orchids for now. Temp drops on timer when the light goes out for night stimulation.

~that's good Greenthumb,considering how cold it is outside!must cost a fortune to heat though!

Fuel cost is down, my little cabin is about $400-$600 per year. That US dollars, so who knows what it'll be next month. I'm supplementing with an electric radiator and that is on the more costly per month side, though very competitive when fuel was higher. All in all, I spend less than many homes.
