You can get a jump on the growing season by using an indoor mini green house to start vegetables and flowering plants. There are many types and sizes available and growing your plants from seed is cheaper than buying mature plants. Plus, it can provide satisfaction knowing you started them all in your own indoor mini green house.
Most of the indoor mini green house units on the market today are quite simple. You have a tray with individual cells in which to plant your seeds. These individual cells are replaceable and should be discarded after each use. They come with a clear plastic dome to help keep heat and moisture in to promote plant growth.
Proper Placement and Heating Determine Success
Many hobby gardeners fail at growing their own plants because they misunderstand the use of these indoor mini green house units. They will plant their seeds in the proper soil and put them in the window to get sunshine. They then watch their plants emerge through the dirt, wither up and die.
Just like in full-size green house, growing seedlings require the proper amount of heat and moisture as well as ventilation. Leaving the indoor mini green house sit too long in the sun will cause the plants to overheat and bake. Just as important is where they are placed when not in sunlight.
Placing the indoor mini green house on cold cement can slow growth as the soil remains cooler. Additional watering may be necessary but only sparingly after the initial watering at planting. Too much water will drown the new growths.
One company makes a heater for your indoor mini green house which claims to raise the temperature of the growing medium by 10 to 20 degrees, increasing germination by as much as 20%. Visit www.veseys.com for complete information.
An indoor mini green house should be used in a brightly lit area out of direct sunlight to provide stronger root systems and healthier plants that can survive the trauma of being replanted when the time is right.
You can plant a variety of seeds in an indoor mini green house such as most annuals and vegetable plants such as tomato, pepper, watermelon, pumpkins as well as others. One caution though, do not start your plants too early as they will be ready to be transplanted outside before the outside weather is ready for them.
