Hello. Simple succulent greenhouse in Gainesville, Fl. Looking for tips on what I can do to warm the green house a few degrees if it dips below freezing. If it dipped hard and for a stretch, I would make other arrangements. This would be for no lower than 28 and only for a few hours at that temp. Strands of lights? First timer. I have thermometer in there so I can experiment. Thank you in advance!!!

Run an extension cord and a 1500watt heater out there. Run it on nights you need to. I have a 10×16 greenhouse and have a 5000 watt heater in it that I use here in texas to keep it above 45
Make a clay pot heater. A couple candles and 2-3 clay pots are all you need. YouTube “Clay pot heater” if you need another reference. I use 2 in my greenhouse every winter with no deaths or cold signs really
I think you’re overestimating the plants’ hardiness. From what I can see, you have several plants that will start to sustain damage at temps under 60* F.
Most houseplants are tropical – keeping that in mind usually helps me when I’m planning for my plants.
I’m not sure those plants are great candidates for that greenhouse. Maybe best to just bring them inside for the season.
