Ceres, Is this a coleus? With a woody trunk? Sounds interesting.

A question here, what temperature do you maintain in this garden room. We
have live growing plants in a glass room maintained at 50 -55 degrees as the
days grow colder.
Those hung in the ceiling glass are much warmer in the day hours and probably
are at night as well. I find the glassed room or conservatory or whatever
one calls his space has micro-climates. I can bloom an orchid hanging in a
skylight and keep the temps cool enough to produce the chill needed to bloom
a Clivia.
Plus these two are many pots stuffed in just as you describe. How about
yourself standing there with one more in your hands and wondering where to
put it? I now have two poles across the ceiling for both hangers and a
suspended shelf.
I have to hold my breath to get through the lot with the watering can. Now
if we can just be lucky with the bugs and blights, another cold season has
begun.
