Heating greenhouse

Any contractors near Mississippi that work on radiant heating ? My family built a greenhouse for citrus trees. We have a wood stove to heat water connected to piping to get heated water to other end of greenhouse. I have a circulation pump but need helping understand how to setup so pump is not running continuously to save some energy cost.

A thermostat or even and on/ off switch would control the pump to start or stop water flow in the tubing.
Does the wood stove have some type of water heat exchanger? And what size tube and how long are the loops?
With that info you could size the pump required. A local plumber that is familiar with domestic water recirculation pumps should be able to handle a simple system like this.

What temperature are you trying to maintain in the space.You do realize that floor shouldn’t go much above 90 - 100*F. That add another layer of controls.0
