That really depends on what type of plants you've got - for instance if you have citrus fruits they won't need too high a temperature. What type of heating do you have - oil or coal?

Gas lady G oranges and lemons, saving the planet by growing my own citrus fruits No big trucks delivering them and that nasty Tesco ripping me off plus I wont be getting scurvy. Ecologicaly sound.
Mind so far I only have 2 lemons and 1 orange

Do I leave the doors to the rest of the house open ATP ? Spread the heat about a bit
Or would it be best to contain the heat in the conservatory ?
Bit woried it may over heat, do patio heaters have a thermostat ?

Just open the windows to balance the heat.

Make sure it,s South facing.

That would mean knocking it down and starting again as its SW facing.
Will it make much difference

The difference between the front and back of our house is 15f.
