Essential Greenhouse Supplies for a Thriving Growing Environment

Greenhouse success demands control: heat, cold, humidity, airflow, drainage. The right supplies turn challenges into consistent harvests.

Heating

• Electric heaters: common, steady temps
• Minimum two heaters; place below benches (heat rises)
• Good airflow + easy access critical
• Electricity source must be handy

Ventilation & Shade

• Auto vent openers: self-regulate at temp thresholds
• Shade cloth: UV-resistant, 30–70% light reduction, various sizes
• Roses: lower shade factor; general 50–60%; southern regions: higher

Humidity Control

• Target 50–70%
• Misting systems: fine mist evaporates → cools up to 35°F, adds moisture
• Critical in hot summers

Air Circulation

• Wall louvers + slatted/wire shelving
• Prevents mold/fungi buildup
• Boosts plant and greenhouse productivity
