I bought a Saxon Mini Greenhouse the other day I’m growing seedlings do these greenhouses vents need to stay open. Do these greenhouses need sunlight ?

Hello @Mporra,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your Saxon mini greenhouse.

Preparing seeds for planting is always a fantastic garden activity. The general rule for the mini greenhouse is that once you have prepared your seedling bed and have properly watered it, the windows or vents must stay closed until they germinate properly. Depending on the type of seeds you purchased it could take anywhere from one to two weeks. The seed packet often has recommendations on how tall the seedlings should be before they are individually planted. 

You keep the vents closed so that the greenhouse cycle occurs inside the container. Once the seeds have established themselves you can then open the vents and begin your watering cycle.

Keep the container in a bright area, but never in direct sunlight or the container will overheat, and your seedlings will perish due to heat stress.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
