Could anyone suggest a plant suitable for an unheated conservatory (so very cold at night in winter), but reaches temps probably in excess of 30 deg in the day in the summer?
I have tried ordinary house plants in there, but they cant stand the extremes. -*- Muggs -*-

 Maybe you would be better off with cacti or succulents? Or plastic   |

My parents have an unheated conservatory and they grow the following:
Plumbago Oleander perlagoniums Cactus and succulents Dactura Hope this helps I have a plumbago in a pot which is currently on the patio, I will move it into the greenhouse for the winter. How about Passion Flower? Pens |

I don't really do conservatories,I leave it to the wife but we also have the seeming obligatory cacti,we also have a fern,I think it's nephrolep..something,lots of Streptocarpi and a bougainvillea,I think anything else exciting in there has already been mentioned.
We do have a little bit of heat in there in the winter but only a couple of tubular heaters,(about 75watt each I think)also blinds all round for the really cold nights,and there is transferred heat from the house of course. |
