By "actual", i mean like an entire room from your house thats dedicated to growing plants? I'm planning my set up for when i get/build my own house, and instead of getting a large greenhouse to put outside, i thought about dedicating a room from my house just for carnivorous plants. (Well actually 2 or 3 rooms, a lowland, a highland and maybe a "Dormant" room haha )
My reasoning for this is that (depending on where you live) it can be hard to maintain temps/ humidty in a greenhouse thats placed outside. If you were to have a greenhouse-like room "built" into your home, it would be better insulated and easier to control temps/humdity.
I dont want to use artificial lighting though, i'd rather replace the roof of the rooms with panels that let in a substantial amount of light in. (Maybe not pure glass since it would get really hot!) Would a roof of skylights work? Or maybe just those poly-carbonate panels used for greenhouses?
I'd have an automatic misting/ watering system for when i'm gone for long periods of time and of course i'd make the entire room be able to withstand all the humidity without it going into the rest of the house!
Does anybody know somebody who has done something like this already? Any tips? I know its going to be expensive building these rooms (Let alone the entire house haha ) thats why i'm gonna start saving up for it now. It wont be until a few more years though, so i've got time to plan
