Learn how to use an affordable mini greenhouse
for acclimatization of seedlings, winter plant covering and more

Dear Friend,

Have you struggled with any of these gardening problems?

Have you ever set out new plants only to have them burned by the sun and broken by the wind? Have you ever tried to acclimatize plants to being outdoors by carrying them outdoors for gradually longer periods of time each day? And then you have to bring them in again because it’s too windy or they wilt in the sun or it pours with rain? Do your plants get tall, thin and pale in the house because you daren't leave them outdoors when you go to work? Are you looking for temporary greenhouse plans?

Every spring aren’t you just longing to fill your outdoor plant pots and boxes and plant out your vegetables but have to wait until all danger of frost is past? Don’t you just hate it in the fall when one early frost kills plants that you could have enjoyed for several more weeks of nice weather? Don’t you wish there was a freestanding portable greenhouse you could just pop over them?

Have you wondered if there is some kind of winter plant covering which would prevent damage to shrubs and perennials which are borderline hardy in your area? Would you like to have dramatically earlier flowers on your roses, azaleas, rhododendrons, etc? Have you ever tried to make temporary greenhouse and ended up with something which was a hassle to use and a worse hassle to store?

Do you need a greenhouse only in the spring for starting seeds and acclimatization of seedlings? Have you hesitated to buy one because you don’t have space to fit it in or because it would take up space that you’d really like to use for sitting out or for plantings later in the summer? Have you ever sent for cold frame plans and decided the resulting structure would be hard to make, expensive and, above all, bulky to store away when you are done using it for the season?

Would you love to have a greenhouse to get your garden off to a better start in the spring or enjoy growing tender plants but can’t justify the time and expense to get one built? By the time the foundation was put in and the greenhouse built you’d be out thousands of dollars and a lot of time too. Don’t you wish there was an affordable mini greenhouse which could be installed in an instant?

Learn about our plant growing problems and how we solved them

We are avid gardeners with over 60 combined years of gardening experience. For many years we’ve started our own vegetables, annuals and perennials from seed and cuttings. Every year we fill 25 pots and boxes around the house with colorful annuals. We grow some from seed, keep some from year to year by taking cuttings and buy some each year at the garden center.

For years we had no facilities for starting seeds or acclimatization of seedlings to the outdoors but we didn’t let that deter us. Every spring the living room floor in front of the sliding glass door would be covered with trays of seedlings. Sometimes we started them too soon and they would get long and straggly before we could put them out. We remember spending hours untangling the nasturtiums and lobelias! A portable hobby greenhouse would have solved our problem but we didn’t know they existed.

What a hassle we had trying to acclimatize the plants to the outdoors! We would carry them out onto the deck in the morning, panic when the wind got up and bring them in, move them from the sun into the shade, worry about them not getting enough light when we had to bring them in. Every night we brought them indoors in case the weather turned cold, windy or wet and this involved checking each one for earwigs. It’s a wonder we had time to do anything else! One year we tried to make a polyethylene greenhouse but couldn’t come up with anything that was easy to use.

Imagine our excitement when we discovered “PlantHouses” greenhouse kits. No more pale thin seedlings. No more carrying plants in and out. Our plants are so healthy, outdoors in the light but protected from the elements. Even the plants we buy at the garden center do better because we can buy them earlier, when there is more choice. We take them out of the tiny containers they’re growing in and put them into larger pots so that they can develop strong root systems to give them a better start when we set them out. When all the plants are set out, it’s easy to pack the PlantHouses into their bags, out of the way.

We have found that by growing tomatoes in these portable greenhouses, we can enjoy much earlier fruit and extend the season well into the fall.

PlantHouses make a great winter plant covering. In late fall we put them over some of our shrubs and perennials and we have healthier plants and much earlier flowers the next spring.

We think it’s great we can use our PlantHouses in so many different ways but the best thing is the ease of use. They take literally seconds to set up, move or store away. How we wish we had known about PlantHouses sooner. They would have saved us so much time and trouble. We decided we just had to let you and everyone else know about them so you too can start having more fun growing better plants with less time and effort.

Here are a few of the things you'll love about your new PlantHouse:

  • You can have your PlantHouse in use the very day it arrives because it sets up in seconds with no tools required.
  • Now you can afford a greenhouse, however limited your budget. The low cost of PlantHouses allows you to buy several of them and still have money left over to spend on plants.
  • When you’re done using your PlantHouse you can quickly free up space in your yard to use for other things because these greenhouse kits are so easy to take down and store away.
  • PlantHouse portable greenhouses are so compact and light weight it’s easy to move them to different locations in your yard or even take them with you if you move house.
  • It’s no problem finding a space to put this very affordable mini greenhouse because it can be set up on any soft or hard surface.
  • Because of their small size and compact shape, even the smallest yard has room to fit in one or more PlantHouses.
  • Because the GroTec plant protection fabric of your PlantHouse is waterproof, UV resistant, rip-stop and semi-opaque, it far outlasts ordinary plastic and is much more beneficial for plant growth than clear glass or plastic.
  • It’s easy to tend to your plants, control ventilation and humidity and keep bugs out because of the large zippered screened door which has straps to hold it open.
  • Because plants get more light than they do indoors, they grow strong and sturdy and because they are protected from wind, rain, cold and too much sun, acclimatization of seedlings to outdoor conditions is easy.
  • Your PlantHouse will stay securely in place even on windy days because it comes with ground stakes and also has ground flaps which may be weighted for extra security or to keep your temporary green house in place on a hard surface.
  • You can make full use of all the space in your portable hobby greenhouse because the vertical walls allow all the space to be used, even for taller plants.
  • The three convenient sizes – 2 feet x 2 feet, 3 feet x 3 feet and 4 feet x 4 feet are adaptable to any space or size of plant. There’s lots of growing room with center heights of 28”, 42” and 56”.


PlantHouses have so many uses - you can save money by using them for different purposes at different times of the year:

  1. Protect small seedlings and transplants while acclimatizing them to outdoors in the spring.
  2. Start seeds – the Tro-Tec plant protection fabric of your PlantHouse retains moisture to prevent the soil from drying out.
  3. Protect outdoor potted plants from frost at night in spring and fall and enjoy them for a longer season.
  4. Protect plants in the vegetable garden – enjoy an earlier harvest this year and extend the season long into the fall.
  5. Use your PlantHouse as a winter plant covering for shrubs and perennials in the garden and give them a better start in the spring.
  6. Grow tomatoes, peppers and other warm weather crops in your portable hobby greenhouse for an earlier (and later) harvest and protection from insects. Enjoy many more delicious fresh tomatoes from each plant.


 
"I recently ordered the PlantHouse 4’ and I absolutely love it!"

"I have lots of palm plants and have no room in my apartment to bring them inside for the winter so I went online to find a solution. I have 2 large palms, one sago, one banana leaf plant, and two large ferns living in the greenhouse and they are all doing wonderfully! The greenhouse has kept the plants from the freezing temperatures!

This is a great investment if you are a plant lover like me!!! I have had many compliments from neighbors too! They were intrigued to see such a neat thing exists and the set up was so easy!"
