Tidy Up Time!
As the new growing season begins, it’s important to refresh your greenhouse so your plants get the best start possible.
- Declutter & Clean – Remove any old plant matter, fallen leaves, and general debris from your greenhouse.
- Inspect Shelving & Staging – Tighten screws, replace any broken supports, and consider upgrading to heavy-duty greenhouse staging for a sturdier setup
- Sweep the Floor – If your greenhouse has a solid base, give it a good sweep to remove dirt and moss buildup.
- Restock Essential Supplies – Check your fertilisers, pest control solutions, and potting soil so you’re ready to go when planting begins.

Take Care of Any Pests
Spring is prime time for pests, and catching them early prevents bigger infestations later.
- Check plants for signs of aphids, whiteflies, and slugs—especially on new seedlings.
Avoid overwatering, as damp conditions encourage mildew and fungus.
Use natural pest control methods—introduce companion planting (like basil near tomatoes) and organic sprays to keep pests at bay.

Get Your Greenhouse Growing!
Now is the perfect time to start planting and making the most of your greenhouse.
- Sow flower seeds like marigolds, sweet peas, and cosmos.
- Start growing vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce.
- Plan your space carefully—ensure each plant has enough room to grow and think about repotting seedlings as they develop.

Clean the Windows for Maximum Sunlight
We all love a bit of sunshine, and so do your plants! To make the most of the natural light, ensure your greenhouse windows are clean and free of dirt.
One easy way to keep your greenhouse glass crystal clear is to use an organic citrus extract disinfectant—great for cleaning windows, pots, seed trays, and small tools.

- Folding Staging – Great for saving space when not in use.
- Heavy-Duty Staging – Perfect for permanent, sturdy greenhouse setups.
