Mini indoor greenhouse

[Ozzy]

I was in a store today and I saw these onsale. I have one already and they are great for growing plants. It has three shelves and the measurements are 28" X 20" X 50" (70cm X 50cm X 125cm).
I made mine into a lowland tank for my nepenthes and it's also home to two of my lizards.
My wife even lets me keep it in the living room, It's the only setup that she's ever let me keep in the living room. She always said that all are my other setups are ugly.

If anybody is interested let me know.

They hold in humidty great. The only drawback I've noticed in that I haven't figured out a way to circulate air in it yet. At the bottom there are small gaps so I guess that is enough because I haven't had any problems with fungus. It has 2 zippers for the door. You could open the zipper part of the way if you need more air to circulate.

Hi Ozzy
your topic moved to the right place for it.
the best way for air circulation that I had find is to use small vents I take from old computers power supply unit with small 12v trpo.

Well, I would like to use a pc fan but I havn't figured a way to put it in the Greenhouse.

there are some ways
you can hang one at the top and fix one at lower corner.
you can fix 2 at the top corners.
I use 1 fix at lower corner and 2 at the opposite top corner side they all work with a termostart so only when the temp. is over 28C (82F) they start to work.but on other small GH they start to work with timer (I use an old school bell timer that can start/stop many times daily for short time (few min.)

Thanks for the suggestions, I may try one of those. I use the same type of timer as you use for the fan in my greenhouse outside. I have it set to come on once every other hour for about 30 mins during the day. At night it stays off.

Check out Odd Lots, they sometimes have small 4" fans that just plug into the all. I was using one until I put in a humidifier. I just use the humidifiers fan to circulate the air. The fan has a metal base that I used to clamp the fan down. It will walk if you do not secure it.

I buy the small private fans on clearance for $5. They work great.

I have a privat greenhouse and the problem I have is the humidity. The bottom was open and I had to close it most of the way. It sound like these have bottoms.
