During the warm summer months, our outdoor plants thrive in the hot, sunny conditions. But inside a greenhouse, where temperatures are often 30 to 40 degrees higher than the outside air temperature, the sweltering heat can threaten your plants’ very survival.
So what’s a greenhouse gardener to do? Don’t sweat it! An easy and fast solution is a shade cloth. Any greenhouse containing plants during the months of June, July, or August should have a shade cloth covering all or part of the roof. Shade cloths will cool down the inside of your greenhouse by reducing solar gain. This means your plants won’t get burned, and you’ll be a happy gardener!
