Default Anyone use a space heater in home for warm growing orchids?

Tom,

If you use an electric heater like this remember to do something to add
humidity too.

Keeping a specific area 80 degrees while the surrounding area is 68 will be
difficult unless you have the plant area enclosed.

What are you growing that requires that kind of heat?

Good growing,
Gene

Good evening all,

In search of a small space heater that can be used at a very low setting

to
keep orchids in the immediate vicinity in the 80 degree range while the

rest of
the apartment is running around 68 degrees. I found the below model on the

net
for $23.99- just the most basic small unit.

Model DFH 132 DeLonghi fan Heater

Anyone else ever used something like this? Would even the smallest space

heater
(what this is) be overkill? Alternate suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Take care,

Tom.
