What is the plant window?

The

plant window can be as simple as a good light window that has been modified to provide an extra wide window sill and other shelves for plants. The plant window can also be mini-green houses, supplemented with its own water, electric and sometimes even a heating system. A very complex plant window is usually called a greenhouse window, while the design of the middle road is sometimes called a garden window. The plant window could be part of the original design of the new house, or it would be possible to add to an older house. The three outer sides and the roof are glass and the glass roof is usually oblique. The garden window base often has a built -in waterproof box. The support consoles are usually attached to the exterior that help carry the weight of the unit and the soil it will contain when used. The inner wall of the plant can be completely open to the room, or it can have a glass door to create an environment in holes.

In a house located in the northern hemisphere, the plant for plants is usually located with an exposition to the south or in the west to provide as many winter sunlight as possible for planting windows. In summer it can create too much heat inside the plant window. Leaves can be damaged on a day with strong sunlight. To prevent this, growers often install some shadow or blind. Some orbiting glass to create filtered light.

For healthy plants, air circulation is necessary. A more sophisticated plant window comes with a small fan that circulates air. Many plants have glass boards that can be open, especially on the side walls of the unit.

In the cold climate, the plant window can quite cold during the winter months. It should be large enough to be that plants can be placed inside without touching the glass. Some gardeners also use thermal mats, especially when seedlings grow.
