Why Proper Heating & Ventilation Matter

A well-regulated glass greenhouse isn’t just about plant health—it’s about comfort, efficiency, and even hosting unforgettable gatherings (like a dreamy glass greenhouse wedding!). Here’s why climate control is essential:

✅ Year-Round Use – No more “off-season” downtime! Grow tropical plants in winter and keep cool in summer.
✅ Prevents Overheating – Proper airflow stops plants (and guests) from wilting on hot days.
✅ Avoids Frost Damage – Reliable heating protects delicate blooms during cold snaps.
✅ Reduces Humidity Issues – Good ventilation prevents mold and mildew.
