Heating Plants during the winter

10 years ago
Hi, I have a phalenopsis orchid, mini rose bush, a succulent, and another plant that's impossible to kill. My house is really cold during the winter, and I really didn't want my orchids to die off as most of my plants usually do during the winter months. I brought a heater, really a seed starter heating mat, and it actually works really well. I'm just scared that I might overheat my plants, or encourage the growth of molds and bacteria which will harm them. FYI, my soil was at a temp of 60F around 3pm and now they're at 75F. Any ideas? Should I unplug the heater?
