A greenhouse can only be used properly with a perfect interior design. Depending on the rearing goal, the interior can be set up very comfortably with simple means in order to create the best possible living conditions for the plants and to make gardening work easier for yourself.
A greenhouse makes growing vegetables much easier and enables earlier harvest times
A greenhouse only becomes really interesting when the shell that has just been built is set up as functionally as possible and with gardening-typical equipment. the After all, interior design has to be right, in order to be able to use a greenhouse correctly and to operate it as optimally as possible according to the desired type of rearing. There are plenty of options for this, and if the interior is divided up sensibly and a little cleverly, you can even use several of them under one roof at the same time.
The favorites for greenhouse use
Although there are hardly any limits when it comes to horticultural use, the way of rearing depends very much on the chosen design and the size of the house. The following types of rearing are possible:
- own vegetable cultivation;
- Cultivation of young plants;
- cactus and succulent growing;
- Cultivation of indoor and tropical plants;
- viticulture and breeding of exotic or alpine plants;
- orchid and palm cultivation;
- Cultivation of potted plants or ferns
- Overwintering of outdoor plants
The less space available, the more effectively it should be divided in order to use the greenhouse properly. An allocation plan is also helpful such as sensible and species-appropriate equipment in order to realize the cultivation and care of the plants in the highest possible quality.
What is typical equipment?
Hanging shelves that are attached to the roof or walls have proven particularly useful in larger houses. They are space-saving and, with their water-permeable grids, are ideal for holding potted plants, seed trays or the tool that is needed at the moment. Culture tables for plant cultivation are also a great way to get the most out of a greenhouse, as their placement above the beds allows for plenty of extra space for planting. Other essential tools include:
- workbenches and planting trays (plant repotting, as well as sowing, cultivating and propagating);
- Foil coverings and roller blinds for shading light-sensitive plants;
- Lighting in the event of a lack of light, especially for young plants or exotic plants during the evening hours (plant lights set up over a large area or locally);
- Measuring and control devices for indoor climate monitoring (automatic or manual floor irrigation, air humidification and heating);
tips
Creating paths is important for using a greenhouse properly. The design and width result from the type of individual use of the interior. Sturdy wooden gratings laid out on the ground or roll-up catwalks made of non-slip plastic are particularly convenient and safe.
