Default Greenhouse heating question

yes, plants need oxygen all night long this is when they make sugar.
In the long run it is better to stop air movement from outside in. that is
greater
heat loss than conduction thru plastic or glass. The other problem with
burning over
electric is the product of combustion is CO2 AND H2O, there can be a humidity
build
up that leads to mold. running both propane heater AND dehumidifier is more
costly
than electric. Ingrid

Do plants need Oxygen as well as CO2?

Thank you Ingrid!

Even though it was an old posting. I knew the answer to my own question.
What I found was, some posters felt the oxygen factor was insignificant
in the propane heating question.
