subject: Growing Exotic Plants In Your Gabriel Ash Greenhouse [print this page] Once you have erected your Gabriel Ash greenhouse and furnished it with staging, shelves and all of the necessary accessories, all that remains is furnishing it with plants. The type of plants that you decide to grow depends on what you want to use them for. Some people use greenhouses primarily to start seeds early and nurture seedlings as they grow into sturdy plants that can be placed outside in the garden when the weather is warm enough.
With proper climate control in place, your Gabriel Ash greenhouse can also be used year round to grow beautiful roses, carnations and other flowers that would normally die or become dormant in the winter. You can place your summer geraniums, begonias and other annuals in your greenhouse to keep them alive all winter. In the springtime, when everyone elses planters are filled with seedlings, you will be able to display mature plants already in full bloom. You can also grow herbs year round in your greenhouse, so that all winter long you will have fresh aromatic spices with which to cook, such as fresh sage for your Christmas turkey.
Another possible use for your Gabriel Ash greenhouse is the growing of exotic plants and flowers that would not normally survive in your climate. When it comes to exotics, the possibilities are endless; your only real limitations are space. Imagine being able to grow exotic fruits such as oranges, lemons, avocadoes or even bananas! You can brighten up dreary winter months with brilliantly coloured orchids, hibiscus or poinsettias, or fill your greenhouse with exotic palms and lush foliage. A heated greenhouse from Gabriel Ash can provide the right environment to grow plants such as these and more.
When growing exotic plants year round, it is important that you have a reliable heating system that can produce adequate heat for the size of your greenhouse. Gabriel Ash offers a selection of electric greenhouse heaters suited to fit every size of greenhouse, some of which also double as a cooling fan in the summertime. Electric heaters are preferable to gas heaters, because gas heaters produce unhealthy fumes. The greenhouse heaters offered by Gabriel Ash have a thermostat control to ensure that the heater comes on to maintain an even temperature inside the greenhouse, not matter what the temperature is outside, to keep your exotic plants growing and thriving.
