Give Needy Plants a Home - In Home Greenhouses

Plants are needy individuals. They need their three hots and a cot daily. The proper food, in the right atmosphere and a nice cozy bed to be in. You do your best to supply them with what they need, outside. But there are times of the year when outside isn’t fit for plant or beast. It’s freezing. There’s no rain. It’s too windy. The locusts are back. The homeless are exposed to many dangers. But – it’s home greenhouses to the rescue!

A mini greenhouse at home provides the plants inside what you can’t give on the outside. The right amount of light, temperature and humidity. In addition to protection from the predators, disease and extreme weather. These mini greenhouses supply these maxi growing conditions as if it were in the stable and controlled environment of a home.

A House Is Not a Home, but a Greenhouse Is

The smallest of these plant homes, a miniature greenhouse, is nothing more than a 2-liter plastic soda bottle, green if possible, with its bottom cut off and the cap removed. Placed over an entire young sapling, it has all the advantages of a full-grown greenhouse, but in miniature. Be sure to press the bottle into the soil. And remove your greenhouse when the plant reaches the top.

Other greenhouses for the home range from tabletop, where you can barely get your arm in, to walk-in, room-size. These mini greenhouses also provide a way to get a jump-start on the growing season in the spring and have it extend longer into the fall. Greenhouses are great for growing herbs, tropical plants, bulbs, and many other plants. As well as provide a winter home for houseplants. A greenhouse. It may not be much, but it’s what we call home.
