It is easy to build a room greenhouse from recycled materials
This is how it works, build yourself with the room greenhouse!
Mostly not even a visit to the hardware store is necessary in order to be able to build a small room greenhouse with simple means from the leftover crate. Even if no huge returns are achieved, a few kitchen herbs are already falling off and it also makes fun when everything sprouts green.
Parents trying to make gardening a little more palatable to their kids do it, people who have little or no green around the townhouse also do it, because building a room greenhouse themselves, usually succeeds within a few minutes, The materials and tools for home-made construction are already somewhere around in the hobby cellar, so that the effort for the construction is limited, as our boxes in the picture, which were originally filled with tangerines.
Simple room greenhouse made of fruit boxes
Certainly there are also more decorative room furniture that can be bought ready-made. But already a little color causes miracles here. The small Mini chairs with their size of 20 x 30 cm fit loosely on the windowsill and can be perfectly packaged after sowing with a simple shrink wrap. If after a few days the seedlings begin to sprout, the mini greenhouse no longer needs to be covered. If it can be one size larger, have the fruit boxes for 12 kg content, for the best a friendly market trader asks, almost ideal measures. For the lining of the walls, a more stable plastic film is suitable, into which a few small holes are carved to improve the air and moisture regulation of the planting floor.
Location of the green oasis in the living area
The room in which the room greenhouse is housed should not be overheated. Most plants temperatures between 15 and 20 ° C are sufficient with as much daylight as possible. If the sun shines too hard, it is best to turn the mini house 180 degrees after a few hours. Parsley and many other culinary herbs are particularly well suited for cultivation, but should be cut off regularly to just above the ground if the growth is correspondingly strong. In addition, the indoor greenhouse can be used to grow young plants that can be planted at the end of winter.
Tips
Excessive sun exposure can be particularly harmful to the seedlings that have just risen. The disturbing UV radiation can already be reduced to a bearable level with a lowered roller blind.
