Who says gardening is for the spring and summer months only? Build a greenhouse with VersaTube and enjoy growing plants all year long! 

Choose your Plants Wisely 

Not every plant fares well in an indoor setting. You may have to do a little research for your area, but you should be able to find a wide range of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and even trees to keep your green thumb busy year-round. 

Consider the Sun

One of the biggest mistakes you can make with greenhouse gardening is forgetting to control the temperature. Consider nearby trees and buildings along with the amount of shade they provide, as well as, the amount of sunlight they let in. Fortunately, since Versatube’s greenhouses are built on-site, you can place your gardening oasis in your yard’s optimal spot. You can also add your own options, like windows that automatically open and close, as well as irrigation systems, fans, and more. These features help you control the temperature and conditions in your greenhouse for optimal plant health, growth, and fruit or flower production. 

Ventilation is Key

If you’re living in a drier climate, try adding a few barrels of water in your greenhouse to increase the humidity level. Have plenty of wet air? Set up a few fans and make sure they’re on during the hottest part of the day. Ask us about installing windows and doors to your Versatube frame to help keep you in control. Each plant has its own unique growing requirements, but doing your gardening research is often half the fun of growing unique and interesting plants! 

Size Correctly

There are several factors when you consider the best size for your greenhouse. Yard space and the type of plants you wish to grow will need to be determined, which is why VersaTube offers an abundance of solutions. Want to dabble in trees or hanging plants? A taller greenhouse will work best. Does your yard have a tree with low hanging branches? A smaller frame will do better. If you can’t find one of our standard kits to meet your exact greenhouse needs, use our Design Your Own online building tool to create precisely the perfect greenhouse for you, your plants, your yard, and your lifestyle.
