I'm only twelve so I don't make a lot of money . I wanted to know if anyone knew were to find cheap, small and durable greenhouses that are good for growing CPs.

Thank You,

You can get a smaller greenhouse on ebay for $40. Idk if thats out of your range or not.

ive got one of them and they work great.
just make sure to leave the door unzipped at least 20% at all times to let air in.
otherwise it becomes like an oven in there on warm sunny days

Here's a couple mini greenhouses.

Hope this'll help

I don't know if you made a purchase yet or not, but you might want to consider a simple glass fish tank. There are some other posts of members using those, and I use something similar (a cubed reptile glass terrarium).

Yeah you can do that, but those are a little less 'professional' and I prefer a greenhouse. I think greenhouses are nice cuz theyve got the racks and you can rig lights onto those.

you can find styrofoam based boxes there?
if so,you can make a greenhouse (mini once)outta it.

like in this pic.

this is my friend's pic,he share with me how to make a small greenhouse like setup.
in the pic,the plastic bag isnt fully transparent.so you can make 100%same as like above but use a transparent plastic like the one you got when you wash clothes from laundry shop.


good luck!!

Wow that's a pretty cool setup.

How is a styrofoam box and plastic more 'professional' or greenhouse-like than a tank? Also, he said he was 12yo. I was trying to suggest something he could afford, that's all.

Sorry, what I meant was a greenhouse was more professional than a tank. And you can get a mini greenhouse for 30 bucks on eBay. And btw I am 11 so....

Wow! Haha. I didn't know. I'm impressed then and meant no offense either about age. I guess I didn't expect someone so young to be into something like growing CPs to the point of having their own greenhouse! I'm in my twenties and don't have one...yet. I'm getting one for Christmas though and am excited about it! It was also around 35 off ebay with free shipping too!

Yeah, no problem. CPs are fascinating! I'm working on germinating some binatas now, and have some intermedia cuba seeds coming. I am hoping to get a mini greenhouse so I can germinate the seeds better, plus I need somewhere to put little seedling under some T5 lighting.

The fish tank actually sounds like a great Idea, I was just noting the construction of a greenhouse is more 'professional' looking than a fishtank.

in england there is a shop called wilkinsons
i got a plastic greenhouse from there for a fiver and for the price its huge
it was half price

Thanks you guys
