Just thinking about when my nepenthes outgrow their current enclosure - Would one of these vinyl-type greenhouses:

produce vinyl/PVC fumes harmful to the plants? I would probably keep it indoors.

Thanks

I would put it together and let it air out for a few days. After that it should be fine. I haven’t heard of any fumes being a problem.

Thanks, that sounds like a good plan. If and when I get one, I can air it out on the screened porch until any smell goes away.
