any sugestions? where to place it? is it possible to grow all species (well, sarcencia, dionea, nnepenthes, drosera) if placed stragetically? like neps on bottom shelfs, dionea on top, ect. here is a link to the green house that i bought, 8 shelves, sizable, and nice price!

I'd probably not use a greenhouse with that weather!

It's going to be hard to keep cool in the summer. You might be better off only using it during the winter. What was your motivation for getting it as opposed to just growing your plants outside? You definitely don't need it for temperature control. If you're just trying to give your plants a bit of protection, why not use some fence or screening of some sort?

lol yea! if you're putting them in there in the summer goodluck trying to keep them cool. your area has ideal conditions!

humidity. in CA it is like usually 20-30% i think. lets see how the plants do in the upcoming summer, my neps sarrs and VFT should do fine. idk about the droseras. its caspensis so its always immortal

nope dude its dwn to 5%

ekk

Most species of carnivorous plants can adapt well to humidity in the 20% to 30% range. But if you want to grow certain species of Nepenthes or Heliamphora you'll need elevated humidity. However, it's going to be really hard to keep the temperature down and give the plants good light if you grow them in the greenhouse.

I looked online and the humiditiy in CA today is ranging on 37% to 93% depending on where you live..

thanks for the tips guys! i live on top of a hill, and humidity here drops quickly. i needed it for neps, all other plants should do fine. i will prob. install a air cooler, or figure something out. me and my dad are good at this so ill let you guys know how it works out. it should be coming tommmorow.

maybe my meter is wrong am going to buy one ok
