Anrobes, you might want to invest in a greenhouse thermostat. These are very accurate, much more accurate than the built-in thermostats that you get with inexpensive, electric, space heaters. That way, the heater only comes on when your greenhouse gets down to a certain temperature and shuts off when the temperature is above that low setting. Many of those thermostat controlled heaters are junk, at least when it comes to accurate on/off functions. I run six heaters during the winter (several greenhouses) and have done so for many years. I have never had a fire. My heaters will shut off if they are tilted and they all are of course on breakers.

I know little about growing citrus, having only the single tree that overwintered in a greenhouse last year. I did not have any white flies. I guess IF I had a greenhouse dedicated to citrus and had a pest problem, I would use dormant oil spray on those trees. I am sure others will have experience in growing citrus and can advise you more than I.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
