What is the temperature range for this greenhouse; i.e., can it withstand winter temps of 0 degrees in the dead of a typical Ohio winter?

With a greenhouse you add +1 to your zone. For example, if you're in zone 6 you would be 7 with a greenhouse depending on the temps ofc. So, that being said. Most likely not. If you must have it up during the winter I would suggest some kind of heater. Also be sure no snow lays on the top. I seen some people say this does not hold heat well. So make sure any places for heat to escape are sealed good.

The lowest temperature it can tolerate is 45 degrees but depending on your zone you can summer it outside and winter it inside. Watch for spider mites and keep in full sun for best results. Most passiflora are fairly hardy.

Mine was grown in east TN and we had temps in the low 90's.I would think it would do fine(it was planted in a shady area)

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

I don't see why not. I live in Los Angeles so the worst weather we see is heavy rain, but it's very sturdy and stands up to high wind - the kind that knock trees over and whatnot. There's a window on the roof that opens and closes, so you could easily keep it shut during bad weather. Overall an excellent greenhouse.

We have had ours up for nearly a year. It weathers very well winter and summer. Only concern for us is if we have strong winds and a branch falls, it slices the plastic pretty easily. We put a layer of clear hard plastic roofing material on the top of the greenhouse to give it greater strength and covered it with the plastic. The plastic itself wears well for 3 to 4 years. Of course, depending on your weather where you are...

When the temp. dips below freezing, I use a 250 watt red heat lamp that I have hanging in the greenhouse. My plants are doing great. I still have a tomato plant, still producing from last spring. I don't know if the lamp is necessary, but it sure does not hurt. I love my greenhouse. I hope this info helps.

Our house is usually between 65 - 80 degrees fahrenheit. plant seems to like those temps.

I really don't get the people claiming their greenhouse was blown down. I live in Florida and we recently had some pretty crazy weather. We have not yet bolted or tied down our greenhouse and so had gotten a little worried when the winds got crazy, but that greenhouse didn't budge an inch. I was skeptical when we first bought the greenhouse about a year ago but w are really happy with it. Its much more durable than i had originally thought it would be.

Absolutely not! I would NOT waste my money on this greenhouse, again! It did not last even a month it is a piece of junk.Seams started to rip within a month

I'm in zone 6, and my plant is thriving. It's survived three winters of unusual cold and winter precipitation, but I'm not sure about zone 5.

Yes, it operates at very low temperatures and has a defrost cycle, which is why I purchased it. It has survived temperatures as low as 8 °F.

i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and buy the sticker zippers. put it on the door like a sticker unzip and cut plastic. works perfect!! i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and... » Read More i dont know if some people just arent meant to figure things out but ive had this greenhouse since last winter. thru rain wind and then 100+ deg weather and guess what.....its still there no rips in plastic never flew away because i staked it down and used the excess plastic at the bottom and lined it with bricks. simple. only thing about this green house that sucks is one the spacing is too far between for heavy rain it will droop but a few peices of rope along the top and problem solved. second is if the zipper gets dirty it will break. ive had a couple of these and no i zip them up and buy the sticker zippers. put it on the door like a sticker unzip and cut plastic. works perfect!! « Show Less

No, most succulents are very unhappy at 40 degrees; under that, they die Since they hold water (one of their great drought-resistant features), they quickly freeze and die off A few varieties will come back to life in the spring, but do not believe that any would survive the hard freezes of Zone 5 I lost a lot of plants last winter, with only a week of sub-zero temps and covered in plastic.

I used a small heater in mine - one that operated on a thermostat. It saved my plants when we had temperatures in the teens and twenties. Be careful where you place the heater of course, with all the plastic parts. I put mine on a concrete block in the center of the greenhouse and it did perfectly fine. If the oil type space heater is a radiator style, it should be fine. If it has open flame, I would not use it because of the exhaust produced. M Miller

Yes I use it in a greenhouse 24/7 during the winter months October through April. It has safeguards. It is able to be set to a temp so that only the pilot remains on once it gets to the set temp unlike others which run constantly.

It has a dial that can be set for control of temp but that does not list degrees just digits. I have tested mine so I can keep my greenhouse at 55 degrees and it does real well. Mine runs of Natural Gas.
