Doris, I have a small greernnhouse. Just plastic & wood. It is not heated but I put several candles in on the nights I know it will be cold. Last year I kept it 40 with 6 candles in 19 degree temps. I buy votives at the dollar stores or sometimes you can buy big bags of them. I use reg. glass votive holder as it holds the melted wax in & burns longer. I buy plenty when I find them cheap, as they have a tendency to break when the candle burns to the bottom. (Be sure to remove the paper that is on the bottom of some candles.)
I have a gravel floor & nestle them down in the gravel so there is no threat of fire. I have done this for 2 years, it doesn't seem to hurt the plants.
You can also put a light in there & leave it on at night. In the late spring I drag a heater in there so I can start my seeds, so it will be a more constant temp. (you can see it in the pic.)
I'm building a large Green House this spring & it will be heated!
Good luck! Bj
