November Greenhouse and House Plants Care Guide

Cleaning and Tidying

• Remove all debris, dead plants, and check for pests such as greenflies, scale insects, and snails.
• Clean pots, trays, and greenhouse glass to improve light levels.
• Ventilate the greenhouse occasionally to maintain air circulation.

Watering and Moisture Management

• Water plant pots lightly, if at all, and keep plants moist but slightly on the dry side.
• Be careful not to over-water house plants, and drain them after watering to avoid root rot.
• Water very little in the greenhouse to reduce the risk of grey mould disease.

Frost Protection and Temperature Control

• Set up a greenhouse frost protection heater to protect tender plants, such as geraniums or fuchsias, from hard frost.
• Monitor and maintain appropriate temperatures for your greenhouse and house plants.

Plant Care

• Tidy away old tomato, cucumber, and chili plants, and dry chilies on a dinner plate.
• Plant a grapevine in the greenhouse, allowing it to root out in the outdoors within a couple of years.
