Greenhouse
Plant-Growing Structure • Controlled Environment
Overview
A greenhouse is a structure designed to provide plants with a protected and controlled growing environment. Its transparent or translucent walls and roof allow sunlight to enter while helping maintain conditions favorable for plant growth.
How It Works
Sunlight passes through the greenhouse covering and warms plants, soil, and other surfaces inside. The enclosed structure reduces the loss of heat to the surrounding air, allowing its interior to remain warmer than outdoor conditions in many circumstances.
Glass & Plastic
Traditional greenhouses commonly use glass panels, while many modern structures use transparent plastics such as polycarbonate or polyethylene. Greenhouses range from small backyard structures to enormous commercial growing facilities.
What They Grow
Greenhouses are used to grow vegetables, fruits, flowers, herbs, seedlings, and ornamental plants. They can extend the growing season and make it possible to cultivate plants that might struggle in the surrounding outdoor climate.
Controlling Conditions
Modern greenhouses may use heating, ventilation, fans, shade coverings, irrigation, artificial lighting, and computerized controls. Growers can manage temperature, humidity, water, and light to create better conditions for particular crops.
Importance
Greenhouses are important to commercial agriculture, horticulture, botanical research, and home gardening. By protecting plants and extending growing seasons, they allow growers to produce crops in places and at times when outdoor conditions would otherwise make cultivation difficult.
