Going on vacation for 9 days. What's the lowest I can set my thermostat for most house plants to survive ?

I live in Michigan. Daytime highs are in the low 30's and night time lows are in the high teens. We have several regular green house plants. How low can I set the thermostat ???

Depending on how insulated your house is I would say between 55-60. Also if they are near any windows I would move them to a table or counter where they won't be exposed to the air coming through the cracks of the windows. But they should do fine. I would be more worried about pipes freezing if it gets really cold!
Reply:It all depends on the plant and what they can tolerate, I know African violets and orchids almost die if it get below 50sh, I would give a good guess and say 55F Have a pleasant trip and Happy Holiday
Reply:67-68
Reply:i would set it to about 50 or so
Reply:Don't forget to turn down your water heater temp.
Reply:I say to keep the plants in good shape put them in the bathtub with a bit of water to keep them moist AND set the thermostat at 55-60 degrees... that should keep them healthy/happy...





Good luck
Reply:just set it 65 your not going to use very much more fuel from 55 and your plants will not be hurt
Reply:If you have any tropicals I wouldn't go below 60°
