My mini greenhouse

My dining room mini greenhouse

So, when my seedlings get too big to cover with plastic wrap or those clear plastic covers that come from the store with the “seed starting kit”, I find big clear plastic bags and completely enclose my fluorescent lights and plant trays. The lights create a nice warmth and the bag keeps the moisture inside.

I just cut little slits in the plastic bags and run the hanging chains right through them.

The tiny hooks in my ceiling. Eventually, I’ll paint them white so they blend better. When I’m done growing my plants inside, I just unhook the chains and light, and put it away until next spring!

The plants seem to love their mini-green. I make sure to water them everyday with a spray bottle. I just heavily spritz them like a light rain. If I find they need more water, I’ll pour a half inch or less water in the bottom of the tray to bottom-water them. When they get about 5-6 inches tall, I gently brush my hand over the tops of them to replicate a breeze to help strengthen their stems. They seem to love it ❤️
