![]() Ok. Sadly, it is time to begin thinking about bringing in my two banana tree children in for the pending cold Ohio winters.
Last year, I bought a metal hydrate light that did a rather excellent job of providing light and I put the tree in a bathroom all season, where it was quite warm. This year, I was kind of hoping there would be a way to keep them in a spot in my garage instead, so I do not have to sacrifice the bathroom this year. I can easily move the grow light out there. However, the garage is not winterized. I would need to find a way to get that portion of the garage heated up from the ambient temperature of about 30 degrees F up to 70 for a long period of time. Without spending much, much money to basically remodel my garage, could someone recommend a way in which I can inexpensively and SAFELY cordon off a small portion of the garage and heat it for the trees? Is this something that is possible? Thanks in advance. |

![]() ![]() On your problem! I was thinking about something like a little mini greenhouse type structure (just large enough for the 2 plants) then a SAFE heat lamp/heater! Be SAFE! Don't risk burning the house down! Hopefully someone has a better idea than me! I use the light heat lamps but I know they make a solid one for reptiles, etc that may be safer! Good luck!!

![]() Well, some options are out there.. I have seen Youtube videos with some creative ways to grow in your garage, you might want to check those out . Keywords grow plants/cannibis in garage without mom or dad knowing. ![]() Investigate DYI growtents This is a fantastic way to have a controlled somewhat heated environment. If you decide a tent route plan ahead for larger plants next year. |
