Haemanthus pauculifolius, temperatures in greenhouse

We haven't used a heater in our greenhouse for a number of years. We
regularly get down to the 40ties and 50ties, sometimes even in spring,
summer, and fall. We do get down into the 30ties at night sometimes fall
into winter, but usually not down to freezing. We have a lot of trees
which limits our light, but probably protects the whole garden from
frost. Haemanthus pauculifolius flowers reliably and is just now sending
up buds. I keep it in the greenhouse too, but water it year round. I
find some of these winter flowering evergreen Haemanthus (also
Haemanthus deformis) from summer rainfall areas to be so satisfying
since they flower in December and January which is a slow period of
flowering for me as the fall species are finished and some of the spring
ones have not started.

What is your maximum low temperature in your greenhouse? Also, do you grow
Haemanthus pauculifolius? And does it flower for you? The Wiki had info
that some people's experience was that this Haemanthus did not flower and
they were thinking their temps were not low enough.
