By heating cables do you mean the same as does used in an aquarium?

Diana, what about those heating cables, I have some in my greenhouse for
the
few phals,
for extra warmth. You can connect them to a timer & they do keep the pots
warm.
I got mine from Charleys but you can probably find them in your neck of
the
woods.
Cheers Wendy

Diane,

Actually, in the late fall and winter months, when the plants need it
the
most, we do get a good diurnal range. The Phals love it. As for the
occasional frost (never really a freeze around here), it's rare, but did
happen last winter. Hoping for better this time. My back can't take
moving
all those plants around (I have a Den. discolor that's taller than my
husband, and he's 6'3", so you can imagine what it weighs), and you're
right
about the dining room table. And the floor. And the coffee table in
the
living room. And around the roman tub in the master bath. And under
the
windows in the family room. Etc!

All of which is why we're looking at a way to provide some warmth
outside
this year, if we need to. Probably a combination of water and light or
propane heater.
