Operating Instructions

To optimize your plant growing environment:

1. Ventilation

• Dual Zippered Doors: The greenhouse features large roll-up zippered doors on both sides. Open these doors to allow for easy access and to promote air circulation, preventing excessive heat buildup and humidity.
• Mesh Windows: Utilize the external mesh windows for partial air circulation. These windows also help prevent small animals from entering while maintaining some airflow.

2. Plant Placement

• The included 3-tier plant rack is ideal for organizing potted plants, seedlings, or garden tools.
• Arrange plants to ensure adequate light exposure and air circulation within the greenhouse.

3. Environmental Control

• The PE cover helps maintain high humidity and provides ample light, creating a favorable environment for plant growth.
• Monitor internal temperature and humidity, adjusting ventilation as needed to prevent overheating or excessive moisture.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your greenhouse:

1. Cleaning the Cover

• Clean the polyethylene cover periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
• Ensure the cover is dry before closing doors or storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.

2. Seasonal Care

• In areas with heavy snow or strong winds, consider temporarily disassembling the greenhouse or reinforcing its anchoring to prevent damage.
• Regularly check all frame connections and anchoring points for tightness and security.

3. Repairing the Cover

• Minor tears or holes in the PE cover can be repaired using clear repair tape designed for greenhouse covers.

Troubleshooting

• Water Accumulation on Roof: Ensure the greenhouse is assembled correctly with the reinforced structure. The half-arched roof design is intended to facilitate water runoff. If water still accumulates, check for proper tensioning of the cover.
• Greenhouse Instability: Verify that the external weight bag is filled, ground stakes are firmly in place, and wall fixing accessories are securely attached to a stable structure.
• Difficulty with Zippers: Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any parts missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact Ohuhu customer support for assistance.
