Choosing a Professional Greenhouse for Carnivorous Plants

Go Big, Insulate Well, Avoid Sliding Doors

A student planning a future nursery asked about the "GrownUp Greenhouse" (6x6 ft barn style) from minigreenhousekits.com.

Sarracenia Northwest's Greenhouses

Tropical houses: FarmTek with double-layer rip-stop fabric. Nepenthes house adds Solexx insulation.

Buy as Large as You Can Afford

You'll outgrow a 6x6 fast. Jeff's first 11x12 filled quickly. Best value: Solexx Gardener's Oasis—built-in shelves, high wind rating, great R-value, no-nonsense door. Sliding doors are a constant headache. Solexx is pricier but saves energy and grief.

If You Get the GrownUp, Shadecloth Is Easy

Don't worry about too much light. Shadecloth (50%, 70%) is cheap and simple to add.

Good Growing!
