How to Make a Mini Greenhouse for Seedlings

It's very simple: you need to take a plastic bottle and cut off its neck.

Oddly enough, that’s all: the resulting “cup” is a “mini-greenhouse” for the young plant.

Just cover the container with seedlings with the resulting device. As a result, the seedling will develop quite quickly.

Why do seedlings need a mini greenhouse?

A small greenhouse made from a plastic bottle creates ideal conditions for some young plants.

We are talking about those varieties of seedlings that are not entirely “satisfied” with indoor conditions.

Thanks to mini-greenhouses, such representatives of flora begin to grow in conditions of sufficient humidity and fairly high temperatures.

In addition, the plant acquires protection from the cold: at the beginning of spring, frosts can easily create quite dangerous conditions for seedlings on the windowsill. A plastic bottle neutralizes this problem.

For reference

A seedling is a young plant grown from a sprouted seed, usually in a nursery, for agricultural purposes, with the aim of producing seedlings.
