Greenhouse Supplies

The greenhouse, whether potable mini grow houses, hobby greenhouse kits, cold frames, and free- standing state of the art custom green houses will need the following supplies for efficient greenhouse growing.

Greenhouse Insulation - Aside from the glazing, the greenhouse could use insulation made of bubble sheets or poly bubbles in combination with foils and other reflective materials to reduce heating costs. Greenhouse insulation is installed inside the greenhouse glazing. Green house insulation further cuts heating costs up to 45%. Insulation increases the light inside the greenhouse aside from keeping it warmer.

Greenhouse Heaters - for greenhouses that need additional heat sources, greenhouse heaters are good alternatives. Greenhouse heaters could be electric or gas heaters that are ideally used when there is significant drop in temperatures that heat storage facilities inside the greenhouse no longer suffice. Heaters too come in a wide variety of choices. There are the portable heaters, wall mounted heaters and heaters with large heating capacities ideal for use in commercial greenhouses.

Greenhouse Thermostats - Greenhouse thermostat are automatic controllers of the cooling and heating systems in the greenhouse. What it does is to adjust temperatures to simulate the plants natural environment. While plants need heat to grow, thermostat automatically controls temperature environments as more plants die faster when there is too much heat than when the temperature is cold.

Greenhouse Misting System - There are different variations of the misting system, The most common is the hand-held mist sprayer often though, this does not suffice not only due to the limitation of areas that could be sprayed at a given moment but the scope and duration that misting will oftentimes be needed especially in larger greenhouses. The misting ring, the use of humidistat, and the fogging systems are best employed for efficient greenhouse misting. Misting systems comes attached with timers for automatic engagement of mists.

Humidifiers - are a variation of the misting or fogging system. Humidifiers distribute humidity required by the plants inside the greenhouse thereby promoting luxuriant foliage and better plant propagation.

Greenhouse Vent Openers - Examples of makes are louver opener, triple vent openers, automatic vent openers, hydraulic vent openers, hinge types, solar powered, etc., because from time to time, heat must be allowed to escape from the greenhouse to prevent the plants from withering or dying.

Greenhouse Gardening Tools - there are different tools that you may need depending on the scope and the type of plant that is grown. Examples are Bonsai tools, pruners, extended reach tools, propagating pots, rakes, knives, hoses, shears and snips, power tools and other tools.
