Greenhouses are gaining popularity among gardening enthusiasts. Here's a guide to the must-have greenhouse accessories to help your greenery grow.
Discover the Essential Greenhouse Accessories for Growing Thriving Plants

Greenhouse Heater
A heater is one of the most important greenhouse accessories. To keep a greenhouse frost-free, the temperature must remain above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. During colder months, it’s wise to use a small greenhouse heater to keep plants from freezing. This Bio Green model heats spaces up to 120 square feet and comes with a digital thermostat. It’s made of durable stainless steel and is splash-proof, so you don’t have to worry about watering around it. Best of all, it’s inexpensive to operate!

Plant Shelving
Greenhouse accessories are extremely helpful for keeping your flora and fauna organized. We like this freestanding metal shelving unit for stacking all your outdoor plant pots. It’s simple, takes up minimal space and you can check on all your seedlings without moving them around, thanks to the three, four or five tiered shelving options. Don’t forget to check out these other greenhouse shelving ideas.

Pots
Pick up affordable, strong and weather-resistant planters to stock your greenhouse. These black resin planters have drainage holes to help with root rot, and a UV inhibitor to protect against fading. They’re also super-lightweight and easy to move around, so you can take plants out of the greenhouse when they’re ready to be put in the ground without hassle.

Gardening Toolbox
This professional gardening tool set has everything you need to get started in your greenhouse—all in one convenient box. The 10-piece kit comes with pruning shears, hedge shears, multiple shovel types, other small gardening tools and more. Each tool has an ergonomic, non-slip handle for a comfy grip.

Greenhouse Thermometer
This thermometer from Amazon is designed specifically for monitoring the climate inside your greenhouse. It measures current, high and low temperatures, so you can stay in control of the environment. It’s extremely affordable and easy to operate—simply insert the included AAA battery and place the thermometer inside your greenhouse. Housed in a green case with an adorable little roof to protect the screen, it’s a practical addition to your collection of greenhouse accessories.

Watering Can
This easy-pour watering can holds a little more than 2.5 gallons of water and has an adjustable spout that rotates for a light shower or heavy pour. Buyers love this Amazon watering can because it has thick walls, so you don’t have to worry about dents or leaks. It also has a dual handle design, which means no more awkward grabbing and reaching to water your plants (no matter where they’re situated in your greenhouse).

Outdoor Grow Light
A waterproof LED grow light is a crucial addition to your collection of greenhouse accessories. It ensures that your greenery receives adequate light even on cloudy days. This particular model offers a sun-like full spectrum of light and can be used on plants at any growth stage. It operates quietly without a fan, allowing you to tend to the space without any disruption. If you’re in the market, there are also indoor grow lights available.

Shade Cloth
Shade cloths keep your greenhouse cooler and protect plants from too much direct sunlight, while still allowing water and air to filter through. This shade cloth comes in eight different sizes and is made of lightweight, durable material that resists tearing and fraying. It even comes with clips for installation, so it’s very easy to put up.

Ground Cover
These interlocking tile mats work in wet or dry areas, and are just the right product for covering the ground in your backyard greenhouse. They come in a range of colors, including black, gray, green and red. The modular tile mats provide dependable traction on slick surfaces, and you can cut them to fit under individual plant pots.

Plant Labels
Once you begin filling up your greenhouse with vegetation, you’ll need a way to keep track of what you’ve potted. These plastic plant labels are reusable and waterproof, making them ideal greenhouse accessories. We like the way the black labels look because they don’t take away from the flora, but there are also white and multicolor packs if you prefer another hue. Best of all, they have a T-shape design so as not to harm the roots of your plants.

Seeds
If you’re unsure about which plants to grow in your greenhouse, consider starting with practical options that can be harvested for cooking. Fortunately, many vegetables flourish in greenhouse environments. This salsa grow kit, one of our favorite greenhouse accessories, provides seeds for all the fixings needed to make fresh salsa: Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, verde tomatillos, cilantro, scallions and beefsteak tomatoes. Packaged in a recycled egg carton, the seeds can be transferred to larger pots once they outgrow their initial home.

Self-Watering Seedling Starter
Resembling an egg carton in design, this self-watering seedling kit is perfect for starting your garden patch from scratch. Just add soil and seeds to each well, then pour a little water into the base. The porous terra cotta wicks water from the reservoir to provide the seedlings with just the right amount of moisture. You only need to refill the base about once a week to grow plants from the seeds.
