Greenhouse Supplies, Kits, and more.
Regardless
of whether you are brand new to greenhouses or were born with a green
thumb, we think you have made a great decision by visiting spectrumgreenhouses.com.
We know there is a lot of information out there and that it may be difficult
to follow.
We have included a lot of information about shopping for and maintaining
greenhouses. The information you find here is unbiased. We are not sponsored
or paid to promote any brand or method.
As you look around our site, you will find useful information about
the difference between glass greenhouses and plastic greenhouses. We
also offer a lot of information about greenhouse supplies, greenhouse
kits and portable greenhouses.
Greenhouses are generally made using wood, metal, or plastic frames.
Panes are usually glass or a plastic composite.
The first thing to consider when you decide to buy a greenhouse of
any size or shape is what plants you will grow. Flowers, veggie and
fruit seeds, and spring propagation demands a different set-up than
growing tropical plants year-round. Specialized flowers such as orchids,
African violets, and bromeliads require a completely different set-up.
If you don’t know at all what you’d like, consult a professional.
Greenhouse styles vary greatly, the most common being A-frame, Quonset,
tri-penta, gothic arch, dome, gabled, and a whole host of lean-to’s.
The structures can be attached to another structure (such as your home)
or freestanding.
Greenhouse supplies include:
• Watering systems (misters, etc.)
• Ventilation
• Grow lights
• Heaters
• Meters
• Shade cloths
• Fans and shutters
Whether you sell your wares every weekend at the farmer’s market
using portable greenhouses, or have a mid-size hobby greenhouse overflowing
with exotic orchid plants, all greenhouses are the same in that they
offer a manufactured, predictable, and safe environment in which to
cultivate plants all year round.
We encourage you to bookmark our Web site and visit us often. We know
about greenhouses, and we know that running one can come with its share
of ups and downs. Check back here for updates and new information.
