| GENERAL
JOBS |
|
Water
every day but in the evening so your plants can maximise on the moisture
provided. |
| |
|
Keep
an eye out for bugs, disease and pests. |
| |
|
Check
your plants in case they need repotting. |
| |
|
For
the next few months the sun will be very strong so to prevent the leaves
being scorched put some blinds or net in the greenhouse to diffuse the light. |
| |
|
Ventilation
is very important so dont forget to open those doors and windows on hot
days. |
| |
|
If
you have any houseplants in your greenhouse, go
to the Houseplant section for more advice. |
