We carefully added a small space heater on a dedicated 12 gauge extension cord (and 2 smoke detectors), plastic shower curtains, an interior roof, the grow light we've been using inside, and other things to keep the cacao plants happy. For a little while, we had mold in this area, so we added an above table fan to keep air moving well. The fan under the table blows air over several very large bags of water, which we hope are working as a thermal mass to keep temperatures more stable.
We also moved a bunch of plants (banana, dragonfruit, strawberry, pineapple) into the outer area or the greenhouse to help protect them from upcoming frost this winter. It seems like we're getting closer to keeping things alive this winter; wish us luck!
