The maintenance of the greenhouse

For beautiful plants throughout the year, it is not enough to have a greenhouse, it is still necessary to maintain it. The greenhouse provides efficient protection against cold and winds, but does not the plants protected from insect pests or other fungal diseases. To do this, vigilance and maintenance will be required.

The big autumn cleaning
The plants need a lot of light, cleaning windows is essential at least once a year. It is carried out preferably in the fall, especially if they were coated with white Spain for the summer, the brightness is not sufficient in winter.
Choose a dry day to get all hot and plants.
That the glazing is glass or polycarbonate, proceed in the same way by washing with soap and water on each wall.
 
If the surface is very dirty or is colonized by moss or mold, it will add the bleach in proportion to 1 liter to 10 liters of water. Remove the white of Spain take a little more time be patient! Once washed, do not forget to flush with water. Remember to check the flow of gutters and clean them.
Check all openings, you can lubricate the passage hinges and check the clips, enjoy this great spot cleaning windows broken or cracked and replaced.
Plants being outside, it will be the perfect time to inspect worktops and shelves, pull weeds and rake or sweep the floor to get rid of all plant debris, which could generate in rotting diseases and shelter parasites.
Maintenance throughout the year Each season requires special care:
Spring is the time when we are active in the greenhouse, it should be stored out plants that spend the season fresh out shelves and prepare seedlings, good ventilation is important.
In early summer we veil the windows to avoid the plants to burn, either through a layer of white Spanish or install blinds that reduce the light by 40%. We must not neglect watering summer will every night to "cool" and depth. The door and the various openings will remain open to allow ventilation and prevent rot and insect pests.
In the fall, we have seen, is the period of the great cleaning.
In winter, if your greenhouse is heated, change from time to time and check the heating temperature, fan from time to time.
