I threw an old semi-sheer drape over the cage to use as a shade cloth. After doing so, the temperature dropped about four or five degrees in twenty minutes. Hopefully, it'll drop another three or four.

In the future, I'll have to find a better cooling method. We have these little plastic bags that are meant to be used as reusable ice cubes in drinks. But, I bet they'd work well to cool down the plant when needed.

Another idea that I had was to use a kid's ringed pool toy or an inner tube filled with cool or warm water as a temperature control device. I bet that I can find a really cheap one that would sit well around the base of the plant.
