[Question] Opinion in the room on Pop-up/Non-Permanent Greenhouses? (lemy.lol)
submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/gardening

So, what's the general feeling on those plastic popup greenhouses?

After a particularly rough month with my plants I am considering getting a popup style plastic greenhouse for my plants.

I am kinda hoping that it would help to keep the moisture up and the shade up since a like half dozen of my peppers just got sunrot.

I have noticed my plants under my bug netting do better and my pepper plant in the ground under it doesn't have sunrot. I think it would also let me keep my pots longer in fall since in in zone 7 and cold snaps happen.

So.... Any thoughts? Tips? Etc?

Yeah you know what, I started looking at just buying PVC connectors and the same kind of white bug netting and doing it for like $60 but then I'm getting close to playing the same for basically that premade.

It feels like I don't need the whole thing but I'm not sure I have much of a granular choice.
I did find a cool one that includes a winter heat cover and like full roll up sides though.

And I did try that with my peppers and the plant is huge but all the flowers are at the top of the plant for some reason.
