Greenhouses are the perfect way to create year-round growing conditions for flowers, vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants. Having one in your house isn’t always easy, but it can be done.

There are indoor greenhouse kits that can fit practically everyone’s homes and lifestyles in today’s age of plenty. If you’re ready to learn more about five of the best indoor greenhouses you can purchase for less than a hundred dollars, let’s begin.

Heat is trapped inside by the greenhouse’s PVC cover. Of course, it’s that heat that allows you to grow summer plants in the middle of winter. There’s a door in the cover, which opens and closes with a zipper. In addition, the entry includes straps so you can tie it out of the way when you want unobstructed access to your plants.

Best Choice Products 40 inch Wide 4-Tier Mini Greenhouse

Many consider this 40 inch Wide 4-Tier Mini Greenhouse to be the perfect grow space due to its PE cover, which helps prevent sunburn and frost. (Of course, you don’t have to worry about either if you’re using this within the confines of your home.) Still, you’ll find that you’re able to control the temperature and moisture levels within whether you actually place the greenhouse inside your home or not.

Made of flexible material, the cover has four separate zippers that allow you to manage airflow easily. Moreover, like the greenhouse previously mentioned, it too has straps that allow you to tie portions of the cover aside. You’ll have access to your plants from any side of the greenhouse you wish!

You can put the steel frame together with PVC connectors, and there are a set of 16 shelf clips, which help to keep the greenhouse’s shelves in place.
