General Information:
The atmosphere in your greenhouse should be much drier now as dampness and moisture will cause disease. Plants generally will not die if the temperature is kept above freezing, they go into a hibernation mode of surviving and only growing very slowly. Tropical plants will not survive continued cold and if your greenhouse has no heating then orchids and others should be brought inside.

FLOWERS General Info Indoor cyclamen can now be revived with water after their summer rest.
    There is still time to plant some hyacinth, daffodil or tulip bulbs either in pots or for a change plant them in a glass jar or bowl and watch the roots grow, these make good presents.
    Dead head any flowers and check for dying leaves as this is where mould can form.
    Start watering your christmas cactus now and take it indoors if your greenhouse is not heated.
