The scientific study has said that the universe expands day by day. Literally it may mean the abiotic component but the actual fact is that it is shrinking. Actually speaking the population of man in this universe is increasing greatly. Man being the one to create problem in every aspect of the ecosystem always tries to find an alternative to compensate the loss. Greenhouse is one such beautiful finding made by man to grow plants effectively. Greenhouse, by the name it suggests that it is a house for growing the green. Many would be familiar of the phrase, “Grow green or else we ruin”. Greenhouse has given each and every human being a wonderful platform to cultivate plants.
Basic forms:
A greenhouse has two basic forms. One is attached greenhouse and other is a standalone greenhouse. In attached greenhouse the power supply is supplied from the house itself where as in case of a standalone greenhouse the power supply and all the other accessories has to be supplied separately. These types of standalone greenhouses can be made where there is sufficient space to have an individual green house. Greenhouse can be built using either plastics or by means of glass. The photo chromatic technique that can be employed in glass makes it preferable over plastics. The basic concept behind the photochromatization is nothing but SMA. SMA is the abbreviation of shape memory alloys. Shape memory alloys are also known as super alloys. These substances have the natural tendency to adjust to the situations that prevail and act accordingly.
Basic models:
The two basic models of greenhouse are cold frames and rack. Cold frames are set out in situations were there is less amount of space where as in case of racks ample space for setting of greenhouse is a must. The greenhouse cold frames constitute to the simplest and cheapest forms of greenhouse. By the name it suggests that it is suitable for growing of plants that requires cold climate. Cold frames are normally used for early sprouting of the seeds, growth of herbs and so on. It is so important for certain plants that the temperature within in the house doesn’t go beyond a particular temperature. So for cultivating those kinds of plants cold frames are very important. The glass panels adjust so as to allow only a small amount of sunlight to enter the greenhouse thereby preventing the damage of plants. Hence greenhouse cold frames are more preferred ones amongst the farmers.

Some of the people have the habit of safeguard the plants using creating the garden. Create a garden is not an easy task, because many factors are involved in it. The first prime factor for making a garden is adequate space. A small garden didn’t help that much compare to a huge garden. Selecting a suitable location is very important for gardening. In ancient days people have more land in their villages, so it is easy to make a garden in that huge place. Due to the economical development and matured civilization all people like to live a city life. City is always having of bunch of house in a small area. So there is always a conjunction in the city side. Due to this conjunction the ordinary people own only less amount of space. So ordinary people doesn’t have enough provision for keep the greenhouse in their home.
Lean greenhouse
A lean or vertical green house reduces space conjunction and gives a better result. Customer happiness is the prime factor in the marketing department. Many companies functioning to sell their greenhouse to ordinary people, but only some of the company may succeed. The other companies fail to understand the pulse of the people. A small lean to greenhouse leads to proper maintenance of plant with lesser investment cost and maintenance cost. The size of the greenhouse is very flexible, we can alter the size of the greenhouse according to the space availability. There are many types of small greenhouse are available in the market and also in various shapes and sizes. Usually the size of the greenhouse is specified in the unit called inches. There is wide range of greenhouse kit is available according to the customer requirement. Even the customer can book the lean small greenhouse kit using Internet also.
Function of greenhouse:
The function of the small greenhouse, advantages of the greenhouse and principle involved in maintaining the greenhouse are clearly stated in the website. A manual is provided to the customer if he buys any greenhouse kit. Proper maintenance leads to increase the durability of the product. These products is available all over the world, you can order the product using phone or through online for 24 hours. Many branded institution involved in manufacturing a perfect small greenhouse for the people. The institution gets some reputation from the people by providing the quality products for less cost. People should select their small greenhouse according to their environmental requirement otherwise greenhouse kit should not make much effect on plant growth.

It is very easy to destroy the object, but creating the product is a tough process. In olden days we should not go for any growing process for plants. Basically most of the plants develop of grow very slowly. The growing nature of all parts resembles some curve. That curve is called S curve. In the initial stage of plant it grows very slowly compare to its life. At the middle stage the growth of the plant is constant. It should not deviate from the annual growth size during the middle stage. The final stage is considered as the peak stage. The growth of the plant is very rapid compare to the time period.
Need of Greenhouse
During its initial stage, it grows in very lesser rate. So to increase the growth rate in the initial stage, we are using the greenhouse. Usually all plants grows in a chill condition that’s why it grows very gradually. This gradual development of plant is healthy but not benefited to the owner. So the owners like to develop their plant rapidly. It should be achieved with the help of change in temperature principle. The cold atmosphere should be changed with the help of any other hot devices. The hot devices apply some heat air in the atmosphere and remove the cold air in the atmosphere. The principle of small greenhouse is very simple because, the hot air pushes the cold air out. So the environment turns in to warm. The warm condition is better suited for the plant. The warm condition enhances the plant growth cell and induces the cell to grow fast.
Price of small greenhouse
The cost of the small greenhouse lies in the range of $100 to $200. The space occupied by the small green house is also very little. So it is very easy to keep the greenhouse in the home. These are some of the advantages of small greenhouse. Before installing the greenhouse in your home you must know some of the important details about the small greenhouse. The principle is working only in certain conditions like low wind speed in the environment and hard climate. If the wind speed or velocity is too high then there is no meaning of implanting the greenhouse in your home. A normal wind velocity required for the greenhouse is 13 miles per hour. If the wind speed exceeds this limit then the quality of the greenhouse is drastically reduced. Likewise greenhouse depends on many minute factors, some guidance is required before buying the greenhouse trainer kit.

Essential use of greenhouse glass:
In terms of active plant growth in the greenhouse, one can find winter to be the calm season. But there still a plenty of work to be done in between the sun rise and sun set of each upcoming day. The growing plants should be protected from the cold frosts. All the shading works should be perfectly cleaned when one is preparing for winter. To let in more of light in the greenhouse glass, the greenhouse glass should be kept clean. The growth of the plant slows down as the winter begins and lot of patience is expected until the day begins to lengthen again.
Greenhouse heaters:
The greenhouse heaters are checked then and then to make sure that the heaters work effectively. For one to keep things warm the greenhouse can be insulated with bubble-wrap and this is termed to be one of the most inexpensive ways. It will greatly help in reducing heating bills too. To provide floral display all throughout the year, perpetual carnation is required and this can be enabled all with a temperature of about 7 degree during night time.
Shut down of ventilation:
Ventilation is a very important factor for greenhouse fertilizer applications during winter season. Free ventilation is allowed but one should check carefully and prevent the cold breeze from entering into the greenhouse glass because it can chill down many things. Therefore one should shut down their vents quickly before the temperature falls in and becomes very cold. During windy or foggy days when the climatic condition is extremely cold outside, the greenhouse could be kept closed. And if this condition persists the green house should be insulated so that the growing plants could be kept safe from the heavy freezing cold.
Winter watering:
There are lot many chances for the soil to dry out, during this time winter watering could be done. Winter watering is not to be done often, because if too much of water is supplied it can sometimes damage the roots and cause lot of problems especially in the tender growing plants. So it is always better for us to keep the soil slightly dry and in good light to avoid damaged circumstances.
Care for plants:
A special care for plants should be always given. At the very beginning of winter the plants should undergo outstanding potting and cuttings of fuchsias and pelargoniums could also be potted. If these hardy plants are potted up in winter then we could expect flower blossoms very much earlier. A wide range of bulb varieties could also be potted out this way and one could definitely wait for an early blossom. Many green house plants namely begonias, gloxinias, could be sown by the month of January or February. An early rise in temperature could result in the sowing of early cropping vegetables.
Care against fungal attacks:
When the frost is too high the winter green house provides refuge for a great number of flowering plants. Although the flowering plants are highly dormant, we should check those plants occasionally so that the compost does not get dried off. These flowering tubers or bulbs should be examined periodically to check whether it has got any sign of attack of fungus. It is also checked occasionally to see whether it is rotten. If it is rotten or if there is any sign of fungus then immediately these flowering tubers or bulbs are discarded and destroyed. Generally pests don’t seem active this season, anyways it is better to check out for whitefly or vine weevil throughout this season. The fertilizers used in the garden frame plays a very important role in acclimatizing plants raised under the glass to a least controlled external environment.

Greenhouses are gaining sufficient importance in the recent years. People are ready to adopt new techniques of plantation that tends to involve some amount of initial investments. As in any plantation, there are opportunities for the entry of pests. One needs to know more about the common pests that attack the plants that shelter under the greenhouses. The entry of pests in the ambient atmosphere within the greenhouses can lead to several other complications related to the growth of plants.
Greenhouse Pest Control
Greenhouse pest control involves the effective management of pest control techniques for elimination of the common greenhouse pests. Several techniques adopted in control of green house pests involve the use of sprays to control spread of pests. Certain insects involve use of soap preparations to wash off the green parts of the plant. Organic chemical scan also be sprayed to nullify certain pests. Constant monitoring is required to make sufficient control measures for plants in green houses. Life cycle of certain pests is to be carefully monitored in order to plan for effective control methods. Development of the beneficial insects can be solution to tackle certain pests. The predators can be used to stop the attack of pests like aphids.
Common Greenhouse Pests
The common greenhouse pests involve aphids and scale inspects. The morphological features of the insects vary depending on the habitat that it survives. The common greenhouse pests like fungus gnats require presence of moisture around the plants, which encourages the growth and spread of fungus gnats. These tend to occupy the soil surface drying up all the organic matter present in soil. This greatly affects the growth of younger plants. Providing interrupted water supply can provide the pests inaccessible. Also the plant can be offered great defense by doing so. Sticky traps can be used to prevent the entry of some common greenhouse pests.

Growing cucumbers is not hard. Some say that growing cucumbers need spacious space, but today you can do it in less space, too.
Before you start growing cucumbers, here are few things you need to know about these plants:
- Cucumbers are members of the Cucurbitaceae family.
- Cucumbers are climbing vines so once you grow them, they will grow up higher and higher.
- Cucumbers have two types of flower: male and female. The female ones have tiny cucumbers at their bottom.
- Cucumbers love a warm, well-drained soil.
- Cucumbers can be eaten fresh (slicing varieties), or pickled (pickling varieties). The pickling varieties can grow up to 7 – 10 cm long and 2.5 wide, while the slicing ones can grow even bigger (up to 35 cm).
- It is recommended to highly consider growing cucumbers and put them in your daily diet since their properties will help you improve the health of your skin, hair and nails.
Growing cucumbers begins with a good preparation. Put a fair amount of organic compost into the soil. Always keep the soil well-drained. Raise the beds around 6 inches high.
Next step in growing cucumbers is sowing the seeds in biodegradable seedling pots, 2.5 cm deep. It will keep the roots safe when you plant out the seedlings. Do not plant them outside before the last frost.
Also, when you sow the seeds, keep the holes apart at about 40 cm between each. Three seeds in each hole is a best trick to increase the success rate of germination. Keep the rows apart at about 90 cm between each.
Growing cucumbers in a green house is a good idea, too, since they enjoy sunlight and a warm environment. Make sure you spare enough space up high that they can reach around six feet. Another way of growing cucumbers is, should you do not have enough space for them to grow up high, letting them spread over the ground, against the wall, stakes or trellises.
Weed the cucumbers regularly, but be careful not to go below a couple of centimeter with your hoe. Damaged roots will slow down their growth.
Growing cucumbers also means that you have to water them well each week. They love water!
Help them pollinate by transferring the pollen from male flowers onto the center of female flowers, use cotton bud to help you out.
Harvest your cucumbers by twisting them off the plant, or by cutting the stalk just above the tips. Do this when they reach suitable size, normally 50 to 60 days after planting. The ripe fruits should be dark green. Do not wait till they turn yellow, it means they are overripe and their flavor declines.

For the greenhouse roses, carbon dioxide used with the water is important. Since more photosynthesis improves the growth rate of roses, more carbon dioxide is benefical. The normal amount of carbon dioxide in air is around 300 ppms. The carbon dioxide in the air could be refreshed by ventilation or burning alcohol in the green house.
