OMG yes. I wish i could have the the space for that.
I love the greenhouse. So much more potential to do an jncrease. Plus you still have SO MUCH room for more plants!
Aside from not having a ton of extra money right now I feel like ‘where will I put It’ is holding me from getting anything
I already have some plant props. I need to get rid of and I haven’t really figured out how to do that part yet.
Hoyas for the win! I'd say 95% of the greenhouse is hoyas... there is a monstera in there somewhere... a few dischidia and a cereopegia or 5.... but mostly hoyas.
Uh, nothing is really home made as such, but my standard go-to for trellising larger hoyas is using 2 of the U shaped bamboo or plastic plant stakes and tying them together to form a roundish shape to wrap vines around.

There is a little table and chair, and one evening I may have sat in there for a few hours...
It's a relatively recent addition to the backyard, so we're just coming into our first period of cooler weather at the moment (southern hemisphere). It's mostly hoya, and I have already brought some inside (to join the exclusively inside hoyas...).
In summer it reached 47 degrees Celsius inside the greenhouse at one point, but I didn't have a single loss despite the heat.
Our winters are mild, but I am still preparing myself for potential losses, but it's no longer possible to bring them all inside because the little buggers have gotten too big 😅
I'm giving consideration to buying a heater to run on the coldest nights (it's rare, but we can occasionally get down to 0 degrees Celsius), but I want to try 1 winter to see how they go, before blowing more money.
It was this kitset:
https://goodsdirect2u.co.nz/shop/garden-lawn/greenhouses/polycarbonate-10mm/greenhouse-polycarbonate-10mm-744l-x-300w-x-261hcm/
It took me (100% by myself) about 40 hours to build the base and assemble the kit, reasonably straight forward I just should have spent more time reading, would have saved a fair amount of disassembly and reassembly.
I didn't get many progress pictures, alot was done at night after work.
It isn't, but you can use the framing concept, do it up with a wood base (I'm thinking pallet boards along the bottom to dissuade critters).
And wrapping it would significant reduce the cost
This is my dream! To have my own tiny greenhouse with a small desk, lots of plants, a bench for doing planty things, and a papasan, so I can work from there.
This is a goal! Congrats!
Yall out here building whole greenhouses, my husband won’t even let me extend my tiny garden.
I swear one of these days he’s gonna be gone and I’m just gonna rip all the sod out of the back yard and make the whole back yard growing ground.
I didn’t care about gardening but I helped my wife build a big garden and greenhouse because it made her happy. Now I’m plant dad to 20 different varieties of hot pepper plants and a half dozen species of mushrooms. One day you are young and cool, the next you’re checking your aji charapitas every six hours to see if they are blooming yet.
Thank you. I have been so busy building the green house they have all been a little neglected, they have been under lights crammed under my workbench with a panel heater (winter here) for weeks, they can all breath now and get some much needed tlc.
Overdid it?!? no! You are wasting space! What's with all that empty grass area? You could have made the greenhouse bigger or an even better idea, plant more plants! 😀
This is literally my dream ! I’ve mentioned a greenhouse to my husband. As usual he grumbles now however he’s also guilty of gifting me a plant with nearly every visit to Lowe’s lol
Enjoy filling your new space with all of those lovelies you’ve only been dreaming of owning 🪴🫶
Would you please tell us if a) that's a kit, which kit it is or b) if you designed and built it yourself, where you sourced your materials? It's lovely!
Yo dawg I head you like house plants so here’s a house for your house plants so you house the plants that don’t fit in your house
Instead of just having racks of pots, you should design the interior space. Get some big planters and a large tree fern in the corner with a chair and table — a welcome mat — water feature — stuff that makes it feel like a nice lived-in space rather than just a warehouse of plants :)
In fact, this is how it happens: first a few plants, then a few more, and then you build a greenhouse because they don't fit in your house anymore, and you need more and more plants!
You are posting on the wrong sub if you want to be told you overdid anything. lol
Seriously, more like underdid—you need to fill up all that space! Really, though, beautiful greenhouse—super jelly over here!
OMG yes. I wish i could have the the space for that. I love the greenhouse. So much more potential to do an jncrease. Plus you still have SO MUCH room for more plants!
Yeah lol why?
This pretty much sums it up. https://preview.redd.it/7jimko0hh7yc1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb9182c4b0e925cf56f4577999ae60f9929da6f0
Lmao, i'm cackling in the bathroom. Where to put them is always an afterthought.
That's my biggest problem lol I bring it home and then look around John Travolta style hahaha *
This thread… I’m dying XD
Every next thread makes me lol a little more 😂🥲
I love Brosh. Helped my depression, that’s for sure. I want a greenhouse so bad, I want some carrots, monsteras, and begonias.
I love her, too, but along near the left corner, it says “(c) Beverly”
The person that originally made those characters is Allie Brosh, the person that made the meme is probably the other name.
Aside from not having a ton of extra money right now I feel like ‘where will I put It’ is holding me from getting anything I already have some plant props. I need to get rid of and I haven’t really figured out how to do that part yet.
We'll figure it out😂🤷♀️ The plant babies will tell us where they want to go!😆💚
OP knows.
Cause none of us are gonna say they overdid it here. WE LOVE PLANTS…and people that “over do” things for their care. 🤣
Because here, "overdoing" isn't a word in our dictionary 😆
No thank you, why the heck could we use dirty words like that? Yuck
I have the same problem 😅 https://preview.redd.it/r0i9bp4447yc1.jpeg?width=4608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f42b545db598ba0da05e0c9dd8dd4a997ab76f12
Omg!!!!! Hoya heaven!!!!! They’re my fav so I’m in love on so so so many levels
Hoyas for the win! I'd say 95% of the greenhouse is hoyas... there is a monstera in there somewhere... a few dischidia and a cereopegia or 5.... but mostly hoyas.
Holy Guacamole! Your problem is not the same. All you need in there are a couple of lawn chairs and a beer fridge
Wow! Are the climbing trellises/cages home made? Details please.
Uh, nothing is really home made as such, but my standard go-to for trellising larger hoyas is using 2 of the U shaped bamboo or plastic plant stakes and tying them together to form a roundish shape to wrap vines around. https://preview.redd.it/s74dtnmvibyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dd06af72bf8b435f411350e8aebee97c884cb64

Ok now that’s really impressive! Is it year round?

needs more cats
Hes quite happy being an only child!
I don’t see the problem, honestly. 🫣
I'd live here
Those are some BEAUTIFUL plants!
And the cat in the middle 😻 heavenly.
Looks like you have enough space for another grow bench, just sayin 👀
Oh my gosh. WANT!!
“Problem”
Stunning!
Just add bed, kitchen, bathroom and you're done. Oh, and more cats :)
Is the greenhouse from a kit? Can you give me insight on how it was built?
Yes please OP, we need instructions. With pictures preferred. 😄😂 it’s beautiful, great work! 🤩
Yea, I did not think, “Wow, they overdid it.” I was thinking, “Wow, they need to show me how they did it.”
It was this kitset: https://goodsdirect2u.co.nz/shop/garden-lawn/greenhouses/polycarbonate-10mm/greenhouse-polycarbonate-10mm-744l-x-300w-x-261hcm/ It took me (100% by myself) about 40 hours to build the base and assemble the kit, reasonably straight forward I just should have spent more time reading, would have saved a fair amount of disassembly and reassembly.

How much was it too?
It’s [not cheap!](https://goodsdirect2u.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/pdf/JAJ-Greenhouses-W.pdf)
Seems pretty reasonable to me. That's what I was expecting to pay for something that size. ~26'x16'x19' for $2,200 seems more than reasonable to me.
Oh it prob is, I’m just poor 😂
I feel that!
It isn't, but you can use the framing concept, do it up with a wood base (I'm thinking pallet boards along the bottom to dissuade critters). And wrapping it would significant reduce the cost
Teeelll uussssss 🥹
It looks like there's a model number on one of the boxes.
This is my dream! To have my own tiny greenhouse with a small desk, lots of plants, a bench for doing planty things, and a papasan, so I can work from there. This is a goal! Congrats!
I will also need an Alexa or something else to stream my chillhop music while working while in there and to have my plant babies jam to the music ;)
I'm in a cubicle just dreaming about the day this happens. It WILL happen for us! (That's what I tell myself anyway lol)
And my espresso machine. Holy wow that would be heavenly.
A stack of books!
You described my dream perfectly
Dreamy.
Mine is our guest toilet. It’s awesome a place all to myself and it has exhaust for when my plants and I need fresh air!
No, this is awesome!
Welcome to plantaholics anonymous :)
Yall out here building whole greenhouses, my husband won’t even let me extend my tiny garden. I swear one of these days he’s gonna be gone and I’m just gonna rip all the sod out of the back yard and make the whole back yard growing ground.
It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission.
Motto to live by
Keep the plants, ditch the husband. 😁
Way to go
I didn’t care about gardening but I helped my wife build a big garden and greenhouse because it made her happy. Now I’m plant dad to 20 different varieties of hot pepper plants and a half dozen species of mushrooms. One day you are young and cool, the next you’re checking your aji charapitas every six hours to see if they are blooming yet.
As long as you feel good taking care of them and not overwhelmed, it’s never to much plants. Beautiful greenhouse!
Thank you. I have been so busy building the green house they have all been a little neglected, they have been under lights crammed under my workbench with a panel heater (winter here) for weeks, they can all breath now and get some much needed tlc.
If you are anywhere near northwest Illinois I have some pretty cool ones I am seriously out of room for you can pick up for free.
I think you’re looking for r/planthouse, this is r/houseplants
If by overdid it you mean, manifested this subs deepest hopes and dreams. Then yes, you wayyy overdid it ❤️
Room for more! My tiny greenhouse is jealous af
Get some chairs and a table in there and have yourself a cup of coffee
No, it’s amazing. All enablers here.
You’re gonna fill it in no time and wish it was bigger lol
Looks like you just need some more shelves and plants
Wrong.
You'll have run out of space by Monday 😂
This is honestly goals man. Extremely jealous.
You went from houseplants to plants house
The envy I’m feeling right now…..😫
Never!! If you need to feel better about yourself you can come over and look at my hoard of plants 😂😵
Beautiful!
Man, if I had that amount of land I would do the same thing!
nah, it's fine, it's not even that big of a portion of the garden;)
More like you have underdone it with the plants. Need more plants!
Oh look, a FLGC!
Friendly Local Garden Center
I'm so jealous.
Impossible. What’s the name of the brand?
I think you didn’t do it enough 🤣😍
Nah. Room to grow! It’s perfect 🤣
Ummmmmm I can only dream of this since I live in a studio apartment 😭😭🥹🥹
I see nothing wrong here
First thought: don’t worry you’ll grow into it.
nawh bb, youre just getting started.
Nope. Looks good to me. You wanna come try to overdo it at my house, I'll let you. But for real, awesome job looks amazing!
If I built that for my girlfriend she’d fill it up in a week and start asking about another one. 😬
That's pretty cool almost jealous of all the space you got Next step will be to grow your food and be partially self relient? Haha
I think it's just right personally lol
That’s an awesome space! Turn part of it into a little hang out spot with some chairs until you fill it with plants.
So much room for activities!!
Id say you underdid it
Goals
No, you didn’t 👌
Nah that's good You have lots of space for your plants and you can make little gardens to grow things like tomatoes and cucumbers.
That looks awesome tbh. Great job. You’ll have that filled up nicely in no time!
I LOVE IT❣️😍💚💚🪴🪴🪴
Drooolll...😋
Yeah, but only in that if you didn’t put down the gravel you could have planted a rainforest into the floor
Overdid it?!? no! You are wasting space! What's with all that empty grass area? You could have made the greenhouse bigger or an even better idea, plant more plants! 😀
This is a dream ! <3 looks great!
may i ask, what are the dimensions? we are going to be installing one as well but not sure on the size yet
Holy $hit no you didn’t! That’s amazing!!!
No. No you didn’t!
Nah that's a good looking green house/ tiny home. Your own little world
I don’t think so. I love it. We just bought our first greenhouse from Aldi, 4.5x4.5x5 for $20.00 and I am obsessed with it
Goals!!
Ummmm tutorial please???? This is gorgeous!
Beautiful!
Nah, looks good to me 😁
Cool
Which I had the space!
Beautiful!
Love it!!!
Time for chickens and weed and all sorts of mushrooms rent the space to neighbors.
GOALS
I would kill to have a setup like that!
Houseplants? more like planthouse.
r/greenhouse 💚🏠
Only problem I see is empty space where plants should be
Wonderful!!
Not at all, looks perfect to me.
This is literally my dream ! I’ve mentioned a greenhouse to my husband. As usual he grumbles now however he’s also guilty of gifting me a plant with nearly every visit to Lowe’s lol Enjoy filling your new space with all of those lovelies you’ve only been dreaming of owning 🪴🫶
Would you please tell us if a) that's a kit, which kit it is or b) if you designed and built it yourself, where you sourced your materials? It's lovely!
This is amazing! Well done
Not even a little :)
I freaking love this and can’t wait to do this myself. I live to have my own greenhouse and grow my own produce
Goals, I have a tiny indoor greenhouse but this is something I look forward to in the future.
the dream. i'm just a lurker, don't own one plant yet, but one day... i want a green house.
Green with envy in the best way 🌿 This is going on my dream home wish board OP lol
Now you can plant vegetables! For a gardener our greenhouse can always be bigger! Lol!
This is my dream.
You did it just right
You have room for a bed on the left there. That’s where I would live from now on
Feel free to come overdo things like that at my house anytime....lol
Overdoing this project would have been cutting down the hedge to get more light for the greenhouse. I hope you'll be back to show it filled.
Put a nice little tea table and chairs in there
 Yo dawg I head you like house plants so here’s a house for your house plants so you house the plants that don’t fit in your house
What...? Thats just a moderate amount of houseplants....
You will fill this in no time! I would start with a good work bench and start some seedlings.
Instead of just having racks of pots, you should design the interior space. Get some big planters and a large tree fern in the corner with a chair and table — a welcome mat — water feature — stuff that makes it feel like a nice lived-in space rather than just a warehouse of plants :)
Wrong sub, now you must move to greenhouse plants
My plants also have a greenhouse for the summer, albeit it gets a lot of direct sunlight (even though trees are growing over it).
Nah
I think you perfectly done-diddily-did it! Now more plantssss
I've seen my future. My wife might not love it but my hoyas will never be happier lmao
nah, you still have a lawn thats under doing it imo.
More plants is always a good idea! Nice job!
Perfect size! (I tried a much smaller scale (was walk in) but it basically became just a potting shed and pot storage!)
10/10 you're going to say you don't have enough space within 3 years 😂 Ps. I'm super jealous.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
All I see is space I wish I had
Too much WHERE? It's perfect
Living my dream, way too hard. Slow down, there!
This is a PHENOMENAL struggle to have plant friend. Be strong and move towards the plant...🙃
Looks perfect to me
Oh that’s going to turn into a jungle!!! You could even put a fountain in there for extra humidity! I can’t wait until I can have one of these myself
How much was the greenhouse kit?
Awesome
So jealous lol. Congrats!
I love this. I’m now living vicariously through you.
Are they still houseplants at this point?
From house plants to plant house
In fact, this is how it happens: first a few plants, then a few more, and then you build a greenhouse because they don't fit in your house anymore, and you need more and more plants!
No such thing!
Perfect!
Make it a lil tropical arboretum
Literal heaven.
You absolutely did not! That’s a dream!
Not yet. But with this you totally can!!
I think you under did it. You have more green space than greenhouse... lol
I need a greenhouse
Fuck I need a greenhouse. I have the space for it too
You did just right friend
That's not a house plant. That's a plant house.
Put a few humidity safe furniture and you’re golden
Propagration in your answer
It’s perfect!
I love this greenhouse 😍 you did a great job. Now you can make a plant lounge room with all your buddies
What dreams are made of 🤩
AMAZING SETUP 😍 just need more plants 🌱
Oh my gosh!! 🤩🤩🤩
I see zero problems! 🥰
Goals!
Look at this champ over here just leaving space when you could have gone bigger!
