Not everyone has the opportunity to spread a full greenhouse on the plot, but at home the idea of creating a compact guy is quite feasible. After all, plants planted in a mini-greenhouse for seedlings, are much faster in growth, and therefore, their fruits will soon appear on the table.
Home mini-greenhouse for seedlings on the window
For lack of space, small guys usually install directly on the windowsill - and the useful area can be saved, and natural lighting is free.
As the most mini-greenhouse used all sorts of improvised materials - packaging for cakes and pastries, large plastic containers made of transparent material. It is enough just to drill the ventilation holes and the hotbed is ready.
Plants are planted in a mini-greenhouse both directly in the ground, and in separate containers (cups), after which they are placed under the dome. Over time, when the seedlings grow up, the dome is removed for an extended period of time, and then completely removed.
In addition to such miniature greenhouses, a mini-greenhouse for seedlings is installed on the balcony, where the lighting is much more intensive, and the occupied square meters are not so popular. In this case, often used racks or shelves, which tightly tight dense cellophane from all sides, leaving little access for irrigation and maintenance of plants.
The same design of any size can be installed in the room, but then you will definitely need special phyto-lamps that will illuminate the seedlings with enough hours. Growing seedlings in such a mini-greenhouse is more effective than in conventional boxes, provided proper ventilation.
Mini-greenhouse in the garden
No less common are the guys in the open, but not stationary, and temporary, which only serve as a shelter for crops for a short time. Under such a dome seeds of tomatoes, peppers and aubergine are often sown in large quantities, and with the onset of a steady heat they dive directly to a permanent place, which, by the way, can also be sheltered for the first time not by night.
