I have my plants in this sunroom and the plants are thriving, many of which are tropical. I am in the USA (new england) and we have a very cold and snowy winter. I plan to use the wood burning stove in this room and am very concerned about both light and humidity in this space. Do you have any recommendations to make this space more favorable? Would a mini indoor greenhouse be overkill? Any recs and pics appreciated. Thanks!

I have 5 steel shelving units on wheels from Costco online delivered and they hold over 400 plants until spring again! Some sit in my patio doors and several have 4 foot bars LED grow lights. Monitor the temperature in there is most important as tropical plants don’t do well below 50F. I grow mostly cactus and Euforbia type plants which can get quite cold. I’m in eastern Canada so same weather as here.
I’m getting grow lights off Amazon for my plant shelf 🙂 and if any of them require humidity maybe invest in a humidifier
A kettle of water on the back of the wood stove will help with humidity. My Gram used to put cinnamon sticks and orange peels in it.
