If you want a greenhouse for your yard you need to ensure that you set it up right. This is especially true if the greenhouse is small enough for you to set it up yourself. If it is large, you should have someone install it for you. Keep reading so you can grow beautiful plants and flowers in your greenhouse.
Greenhouse Window Film
Depending on the type of plants you have in your greenhouse window film may be a good choice. For example, there are some plants that do require a lot of sun. A window film will give these plants the shade they need.
If you have plants that do not grow well in high heat, a greenhouse window film would be beneficial. This is because it blocks some of the sun's rays so there will be less heat in your greenhouse. This film will keep the temperature the same in your greenhouse so it will not become too hot for your plants and flowers.
There are different types of greenhouse window film you can purchase. One is a polyethylene film, which is also known as PE film. This is the lightest film you can purchase and comes in rolls. This is also easy to use as you simply cut the amount of window film that you need. Some of the film will also have properties to help reduce condensation. Another type is polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC film. This works much like PE film but is more expensive. It will last longer, however. There is PVC that offers UV protection and reduces condensation on the film. Contact a company that sells greenhouse window film, and they can give you much more information.
Use a Thermostat and Air Circulation
It is important that you maintain the temperature in your greenhouse as you do not want it to become too hot or too cold. The temperature you need will depend on the types of plants or flowers you plan to grow. There are digital thermostats that work best as you can quickly see what the temperature is. These also make it easy to adjust the temperature, if needed. You will find thermostats come in a variety of sizes, and most can be hung from a ceiling.
Air circulation is also important for plants and flowers. This will help prevent too much moisture from building up on the leaves. This is beneficial if you have plants prone to mildew or fungal diseases. Air circulation will also help prevent cold spots during the winter months. You can purchase a ventilation system, or if you have a very small greenhouse, a couple of fans will work well for this purpose.
