It’s important to keep your greenhouse and greenhouse accessories clean and in working order if you want to have strong and healthy plants.  A greenhouse is a warm and humid place and if you aren’t careful your greenhouse will be afflicted with pests and diseases that are often difficult to get rid of.

Decide on a schedule for greenhouse maintenance and include your greenhouse accessories as well.  Get a calendar and write down the various chores that need to take place.  When you do this you will have a greenhouse and greenhouse accessories that are in good working condition at all times.

You will have several greenhouse accessories to keep the plants weed-free and trimmed.  Be sure to keep these tools clean so they do not spread disease from plant to plant. These hand-held tools and greenhouse accessories should be cleaned regulary to assure you keep your greenhouse healthy.

The greenhouse itself should get a thorough wipedown one or two times a year. Use a bleach and water solution and wipe down the greenhouse frame, the greenhouse benches, vents and fans and the greenhouse covering. You might also want to treat the foundation to make sure it’s disease-free.

Make sure all greenhouse accessories are in working order. Check to make sure the vents, heaters, and watering supply and see if they are in need of replacement or repair.

Maintain your greenhouse and your greenhouse accessories to keep your plants and flowers in the best shape possible.
