The temp is 38-40 degrees F, which is 6 to 8 degrees above freezing. I think your figure is 10 degrees C, which equals 50 degrees F...You could, unless your plants are really cold susceptible, lower your heat a bit. It depends on whether you are looking for complete dormancy or desire to keep them growing actively over the winter.
thanks i need total shutdown for my chili plants so i will drop temp as suggested..just 1 question if u no the answer will the leaves on my chili plants fall of over winter...thanks again..dxcompoer
Hard to know, but if protected from frost and freezing, I would think they would just stop growing. They may lose a few, but should retain some. Sorry, a less than educated guess...grin Moon
