Always when contemplating what plants or what to plant in your greenhouse, It is of course important to choose plants with regard to your climate. Also of the utmost importance would be how well your greenhouse is managed with respect to greenhouse temperatures, and your ability or inability if any to control temperatures.If you are not going to have some wayof temperature control then you are at the mercyof regular recommendations for your climate almost as if the plants were outside, almost not quite.
Your choice of plants to grow should be based chiefly on the greenhouse temperatures that are to be kept continually,And when considering temperatures in this regard the greenhouse operator refers to the night temperatures that are kept during the fall to- spring season when artificial heating is usually required. Summer night temperatures normally will be above these. For good greenhouse building plans
Daytime temperatures, on dull days, are permitted to rise 5-10 degrees above the night temperatures, l0-15 degrees higher on sunny days. When a gardener speaks of a "50-degree house",or a "60-degree house" he's talking about a greenhouse -in which the night temperatures, except when outside temperatures are higher, are maintained at the levels indicated.
A mostly cool Greenhouse (night temperature 45- 50 degrees). This greenhouse offersopportunity to grow a wide selection of plants. It is ventilated more freely than warmer ones and the atmosphere should never be so moist that it isoverly humid. In winter special care must be exercised not to over water and not to damp down too much; The 'cool greenhouse is also very useful for raising young plants of annual flowers and vegetables for later transplanting to the outdoor garden.
OK now the intermediate or Warm-Temperate Greenhouse (night temperature 55 degrees). This greenhouse should always be rather comfortably warm and the air fairly moist, but never oppressively so. In the summer it is ventilated freely and shaded. In winter and.spring it is ventilatedless freely than a cool greenhouse. The hot house or tropical greenhouse with a nite temperature of 60-70 degrees is kept humid by continually wetting and damping down the area. Plants fairly suited for these temperatures include many foliage plants.The tropical greenhouse provides spin]silent propagation facilities for a wide range of tender plants|really good facilities conducive for a wide array of tender plants[/spin]
Tony Brazier has been involved in the construction business almost his whole life . I hope This was of interest to you. Loves to help anyone . Enjoys building all types of projects I build a lot ofhobby shops and shed's, but I love to build greenhouses they are soeasy to build and I have a burning interest in greenhouse plants and managing my own greenhouse. It's a hobbyI truly love. I use plans to build greenhouses as it makes it so much easier and faster
