You don't have to keep the whole house "Chile warm" enclose growing area with cardboard, plastic or glass, a couple light bulbs for heat. I am growing some in an unheated cellar, grow lights, 3/4 surrounded with cardboard ,1/4 with plastic, 2ea 100 watt light bulbs, Keeps them 20F warmer than surrounding area, Space for these plants 2ft by 5ft. by 5ft high Only 6 in 5 gal containers. So far so good. Byron
