Little baby seedlings and temperature

tam91 · April 28, 2014

All my plants are out in my greenhouse, except for one little group of teeny tiny seedlings I started late - they don't even have their first real leaves, so they are still inside under the lights.

But - I am going out of town for a few days, and really want all the plants in one place for the house sitter to take care of. I do have a heater in the greenhouse so it doesn't get too cold at night.

Can these little guys take temperatures in the 50s?

Mine do. I started all my later stuff in the greenhouse this year. My thermostat is set for 50, and most mornings my readings are in that range.
Go for it!

Yes, they won't grow very fast at fifty but mine go out everyday. The last few days it's been overcast and in the low 50's and almost all are doing just fine.
