Operating Instructions
Placement
The Ohuhu Mini Greenhouse is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Consider the light requirements of your plants when choosing a location. Use the locking wheels to easily move the greenhouse as needed.
Ventilation
To regulate temperature and humidity, utilize the roll-up zippered door. Open the door partially or fully to allow air circulation, especially on warm days, to prevent excessive heat buildup and promote healthy plant growth.
Plant Care
Arrange plants on the four shelves, ensuring adequate space for growth. The greenhouse cover helps retain moisture and warmth, creating a microclimate beneficial for seedlings and sensitive plants. Monitor plant health regularly and adjust watering and light exposure as necessary.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Cover
Periodically clean the PE grid cover with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. Ensure the cover is dry before zipping it up completely to prevent mold or mildew growth.
Frame Inspection
Regularly inspect the iron frame and connectors for any signs of rust, damage, or loosening. Tighten any loose connections. If any parts are damaged, contact customer support for replacements.
Winter Storage (if applicable)
If storing the greenhouse for an extended period, especially in harsh winter conditions, it is recommended to disassemble it and store the components in a dry, protected area to prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse feels unstable or wobbly. | Connections are not fully seated; uneven surface; insufficient weight. | Ensure all poles are firmly inserted into connectors. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap connections if needed. Place the greenhouse on a flat, level surface. Add weights (e.g., heavy pots) to the bottom shelf for increased stability, especially outdoors. |
| Shelves are not staying in place. | Shelf clips not used or improperly installed; excessive weight on shelves. | Ensure the provided shelf clips (Part G) are correctly installed to secure the shelves to the frame. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 17.6 lbs (8 kg) per shelf. |
| Zipper on cover is difficult to close. | Cover is not aligned correctly; zipper teeth are obstructed. | Adjust the cover to ensure it is evenly draped over the frame. Gently guide the zipper, ensuring no fabric is caught. Avoid forcing the zipper. |
| Plants are overheating inside. | Insufficient ventilation; direct sunlight exposure. | Roll up the zippered door to increase airflow. Consider relocating the greenhouse to a partially shaded area during peak sun hours, or use a shade cloth if permanent relocation is not possible. |
