Home greenhouses

Home greenhouses aim to create a controlled environment in which to grow your plants. With a growbox (as many people call the home greenhouse) you can create ideal conditions for your plants. You control temperature, air flow (and often its composition), lighting and humidity.

Home greenhouses are a great option for people who want to grow plants in the city and very often even in their home. With us you will find a range of grow boxes that cover the needs of both amateur gardeners and professionals.

More about Home greenhouses

The growbox is a very popular solution among urban people. It is used by hobbyists to grow a variety of crops such as tomatoes, kale and spinach at home. In addition, home greenhouses (although not at home) also use professional gardeners because they provide a number of benefits to plants and yield.

The advantages of home greenhouses

At a relatively low price, the growbox brings with it the following benefits:

Protects plants from pests and diseases- Because the conditions in the growbox are controlled, you can give your plants the best chance of avoiding disease (by controlling humidity and air flow) and pests (by creating a physical barrier between them and your plants).

You control the environment around the plants without having to control the environment in the entire room- Heating, lighting (and dimming), air quality control and humidity carry with them higher costs when applied to a larger area. When you use a home greenhouse, you only control the area associated with the plants. In this way, you reduce the cost of controlling the environment that is not directly related to your crop. Without a growbox, you would have to control the conditions in the entire room.

You create different conditions for different plants that are in the same room- When growing plants for which the optimal environment is different, you have no choice but to separate them. If you use several home greenhouses, you can quite easily achieve a totally different environment in the same room.

You learn different techniques- Home greenhouses can be used with hydroponic systems, soil, coco or inert substrates. By having multiple growboxes, you can see how different conditions work on your plants and compare the results.

Disadvantages of home greenhouses

Growboxes have many advantages, but they don't come for free.

Expenses- although home greenhouses in themselves are affordable, they entail certain costs that may not appeal to everyone:

Support- Growboxes require cleaning and storage (when not in use).

If the gardener approaches it with the right attitude, these disadvantages are not a high price for the advantages of the growbox.

How much do home greenhouses cost?

Home greenhouses can start from a few hundred leva for a small growbox and lamp set, and reach prices over 10,000 leva for professional configurations.

For beginning gardeners, we think that a budget of around BGN 1,000 will provide everything you need to get started. It depends on your needs, of course, but the good thing is that we have a lot of experience with growboxes and combining them with different growing methods - you can always write to us, call us or come to the store and we can advise you.
