Sooner or later, all lovers of these amazing plants think about how to grow flowers in a greenhouse. Many use their experience to grow their business, and many simply want to enjoy fresh bouquets all year round. To create a real greenhouse, you must have a land plot with communications connected to it. Since plants need to create a special microclimate, you should take care of heating, watering and lighting.
The home greenhouse should be well lit – since all plants reflect green rays, for full growth they need to provide additional access to the red and blue colors of the spectrum. To do this, it is necessary to use fitolamps, which both protect plants from burns and provide photochemical reactions responsible for the development of the root system of flowers. The lack of necessary lighting leads to the fact that the growth of the stem and leaves slows down, the plant gets sick and may die.
What flowers to choose?
But the most important issue is the choice of plants. What flowers to choose for growing in a greenhouse or home greenhouse for a novice grower? What flowers can be planted nearby, and which ones should be discarded?
Daffodils and tulips are the very first spring flowers that are easy enough to grow in greenhouse conditions. Bulbs of daffodils must first be cooled and only then planted. The optimum temperature for planting is considered to be 8 – 9 degrees, so it is better to do this before the onset of the first frost. In plastic pots, daffodils can also be planted at a lower temperature – from 3 to 9 degrees. The average depth for planting bulbs is 10-12 centimeters, but in pots 6-7 cm is enough.
Delicate tulips not only perfectly coexist with daffodils in one bouquet, but also perfectly tolerate each other in the beds. Therefore, they can be grown side by side without worrying about the consequences. Tulip bulbs can be planted as early as December – 2-3 degrees is considered a suitable temperature.
The most important key to the successful cultivation of these flowers in a greenhouse is healthy bulbs. They should be large and healthy, which should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Alberio, Elektra and Orange are considered the most unpretentious varieties, but with the right equipment, you can grow even the rarest and most fastidious plants in a greenhouse.
