Hello Buk , you sound a bit like me there, always doubting that something is actually going to go right and work ................ stick with it Buk, I'm confident you'll sort something out

What if you put an air vent in at the top of the closet, "just thinking outloud here Buk ". Anyway heat rises so if a vent was put in at the top then maybe that would allow cooler air to be pulled in from the bottom.

I'll just tell a story that gave me that idea ...................
I once visted a "Blue John" mine in the peak district of Derbyshire, Blue John is just a blue type of stone that is found nowhere else in the world except for there, it's nothing special but it just looks pretty .
Anyway these mines were ventilated very simply, at one shaft the miners used to always keep a fire burning which caused the heat to rise up the shaft but this also caused cool air to be bought in down another entrance and so provided the miners with cool fresh air
Now I'm not saying that you should light a fire in the bedroom but if there was a vent to let out the hot air at the top and a vent to allow the cool air at the bottom ......................... would this be feasible

Hmmm prehaps I'd best shut up




Hello Gin Thanks for that vote of confidence
I've not cured the problem yet but I think that I have managed to slow it down. I have done everything that may be frowned upon to try and get these plants "back on track" so to speak .
Firstly the fan and the thermometer have gone out of there, I've never used them before so why bother now .
I re-potted into different compost, prunned them of two nodes each and the bad leaves, sprinkled neat plant food on the top and drenched them to overwatering
They are looking better but atill not right yet, so it's just waiting to see how they turn out
