I live in Michigan. Daytime highs are in the low 30's and night time lows are in the high teens. We have several regular green house plants. How low can I set the thermostat ???

Depending on how insulated your house is I would say between 55-60. Also if they are near any windows I would move them to a table or counter where they won't be exposed to the air coming through the cracks of the windows. But they should do fine. I would be more worried about pipes freezing if it gets really cold!

residing house plant life? 50 ranges. stay fish in an aquarium? 50 ranges in case you have a tank heater for tropical fish. to maintain the pipes from freezing? upload a secure practices margin for each degree under 10 (for 0 set thermostat at 60). there'll be chilly aspects (under the sink cabinet, at the back of the bathing device, around residing house windows and doorways) the place freezing would ensue if outdoors temperatures get under the youngsters F with the thermostat at 50. i've got had 2 properties the place the water in the washer drain catch could freeze, and you will never know it till good after the washer's rinse cycle. I insulated extra powerful and placed warmth tape around the pipe. Ask a neighbor to dribble your water and change up the thermostat if temperatures would desire to get under 0.

I say to keep the plants in good shape put them in the bathtub with a bit of water to keep them moist AND set the thermostat at 55-60 degrees... that should keep them healthy/happy...
Good luck

It all depends on the plant and what they can tolerate, I know African violets and orchids almost die if it get below 50sh, I would give a good guess and say 55F Have a pleasant trip and Happy Holiday

Don't forget to turn down your water heater temp.
