It's the worst cold snap here in Virginia in years! And the electricity
failed last night. The greenhouse temperature reistered a low of 34. Are
we a happy camper today!? :-( At least it wasn't truly freezing.

Two questions:
How long before my plants will tell me how much damage they sustained? My
collection is your typical serious hobbyist of about 500 plants rangeing
through most of the comonly grown plants-vandas to phals.

If I add back-up heating for such emergencies, how damage could I expect
from a kerosene heater vs. a propane heater. Are both likely to blast buds?

Why don't I live in Hawaii?

Thanks.
