Other than the Walkerianas and Nobiliors, I tend to do the same. I try to keep my temperature range between 15 degrees C and 35 degrees C in the summer and between 8 and 28 degrees C in the winter. I use discarded underfloor heating mats just below my benches to keep the temp up in the winter when it drops as low as minus 3 degrees C. It works very well. I find that keeping a 15degree day/night differential is also rewarding. My biggest challenge is maintaining a high enough humidity constantly. Running the pump and extractor fan continuously is almost cost-prohibitive, but essential, as it makes a massive difference.
