Greenhouse Preparation
Clean the Greenhouse:
Begin by clearing out any remaining plants and thoroughly cleaning the interior of your metal greenhouse . To minimize the risk of plant diseases, disinfect all surfaces with a suitable greenhouse-safe disinfectant. A clean, sterile environment lays the foundation for healthy and vigorous plant growth.
Soil:
Select a high-quality potting mix specifically formulated for flowering plants. A well-balanced mix containing peat, perlite, and vermiculite is ideal, as it provides excellent drainage, aeration, and nutrient retention to support healthy root development.
Pots:
Choose pots based on the mature size of the flowers you intend to grow. Pot height typically ranges from 8 to 18 inches, depending on the plant's root system. For instance, compact flowers may thrive in an 8-inch pot, while larger varieties, such as dahlias, require deeper and wider containers to accommodate their more extensive root structures.
Recommended Flowers
1.Roses
Roses thrive in temperatures between 60–75°F and prefer bright, indirect light. When choosing rose varieties, consider your local climate to ensure compatibility. Proper spacing is crucial—allow enough room for mature growth and adequate air circulation, which helps reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
2.Lilies
Lilies grow best at temperatures around 60–65°F, making spring and summer their ideal growing seasons. These plants require rich, well-draining soil to support strong and healthy growth. Ensuring the soil is fertile will help your lilies flourish throughout the season.
3.Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums prefer a temperature range of 60–70°F, and it’s important not to expose them to excessive heat. Light control is crucial for their development. Providing more than 13 hours of sunlight per day encourages vegetative growth, while reducing light exposure to 10–11 hours using shade cloth during the flowering period can effectively stimulate blooming.
Expert Tips
Planting Interval:
Different flower species require different spacing based on their mature size. It's important to plan and adjust planting distances in advance to accommodate full growth. Proper spacing not only prevents overcrowding but also promotes healthy air circulation, reducing the risk of disease and encouraging robust development.
Watering:
Use a soil hygrometer to monitor moisture levels accurately. When the top few inches of soil begin to feel dry, it's time to water. Maintain soil that is consistently moist but not soggy to avoid root rot and ensure optimal hydration for your flowers.
Temperature Management
Install a thermometer to track greenhouse temperature at all times.
In colder months, use a greenhouse heater to maintain optimal conditions.
During warmer seasons, apply shade cloth to regulate light intensity and prevent overheating, which is particularly beneficial for light-sensitive species.
