Greenhouse heating is important because if you have too much heat the flowers will wilt. If there is not enough greenhouse heating the flowers will not be able to grow. Greenhouse heating is also a crucial factor after the flowers have been cut because they will wilt very quickly if the temperature is too high. The best idea may be to cut the flowers and then move them to a cooler area as soon as you can.
The younger the greenhouse flowers the longer they will last. The fresher the flowers are the longer they will last, too. Cut the greenhouse flowers before they are in full bloom and you will have flowers that are the perfect age.
Disease is an issue in the greenhouse since it is an area of high humidity. This is why part of your recipe for success must include a clean greenhouse. Keeping the greenhouse clean is imperative if you want to have healthy flowers. Use a bleach/water solution and clean out the greenhouse each year (summer is usually a good time).
And of course who can deny that greenhouse success comes with trial and error. Like anything else, the more you do it, the more you learn. You can read all the greenhouse books in the world, but true learning comes about when you add in the real world experience. Don’t get frustrated with failure, take notes and learn from your mistakes. Each year it will get easier and easier to be a successful greenhouse grower!
Remember the recipe for successful flower gardening in the greenhouse is greenhouse heating + cleanliness + experience.
