overwintering finally heat in winter

right now it's a cool 70 degrees F in there, I'd like to keep it closer to 80F, but first i'm going to get some insulation for the ceiling, which is right now nothing but vinal siding and the wooden deck for the guys porch above me, i think that's where i'm losing most of my heat...so hopefully next paycheck i can affordably keep it 80F inside
But I do have a question...one of my habs which i had brought inside a few weeks ago, started leaf dropping the day i brought him in, and is continuing to drop leaves and buds. no yellowing, otherwise looks like a healthy plant, but just droping leaves like crazy...obviously the climate change caused this, coming in from avg. temps of low 60's to 72 in my house....it's been 3 weeks now, will my little guy adjust?

It will adjust. A lot of times it drops the big leaves that are used to soaking up the sun and puts out a bunch of smaller leaves that can soak up less intense light.
in the worst part of winter, which for me is early January through early February, it will avg. 40F during day, and a hair under freezing at night. For about two weeks during the worst part we'll have scattered days below freezing, with night temps in the teens

cool that's exactly what it's doing....it actually looks funny, like a scrubby bush, tiny little leaves all over. hopefully some buds will hold soon, i do have proper lighting on him, so...patiently waiting, thanx
nice set up.
hell ya! that's actually my next bill a proper lighting systemout there
What are your plans for taking that down in the spring? In my experience, crack filler doesn't clean up very easily.
yeah, i thought about that, i'm going to break the bulk off with a putty knife, and use sandpaper for the rest, and repaint if necessary
Wow quite a nice porch you got there.
yay beer.
yay beer.
Nice setup.
