What Mini & Portable Greenhouses Do

Mini and portable greenhouses trap heat by admitting sunlight in during the day through its covering and retaining heat radiated from the surrounding soil during the cold night hours. When closed, it also traps moisture inside the structure cutting down on your watering chores. Portable greenhouses and cold frames are useful for early planting of summer annuals and seeds, protecting tender plants in winter, forcing cuttings to root faster, starting perennials from seed in summer, and growing many kinds of plants you wouldn't normally be able to grow in your area. If heated, mini and portable greenhouses can also be used to overwinter plants in many areas.

Why Mini & Portable Greenhouses are so popular

Helpful Tips

.Insulation may be necessary when a sudden cold snap is expected. A simple method is to throw burlap sacks filled with leaves over the sash on the frame at night to protect against freezing, or bales of straw or hay may be stacked against the frame. Heaters, heating cables, and mats are also recommended, especially for larger structures, to keep greenhouse temperatures in check.

.Ventilation is most critical in the late winter, early spring, and early fall on clear, sunny days when temperatures rise above 45°F. The vent(s) should be raised partially to prevent the buildup of extreme temperatures inside the frame. Lower vents each day early enough to conserve some heat for the evening.

.Shading a mini portable greenhouse or cold frame will prevent damage to plants from extreme heat and intensive sunlight in the summer. Commonly used coverings include lath, old bamboo window blinds, and knitted shade covers.

.Watering should be done early so that plants dry before dark, to help reduce disease problems.
