Depending on the properties of the cover material and the angle of ray's impact on the cover, some of the radiation is bounced back into the sky, and some is absorbed in the material itself.<\/p>\n<p>The light that passes into the greenhouse is absorbed in the plants, the soil, and parts of the structure itself and warms them (since the energy contained in the absorbed radiation turns to heat.) The air in the greenhouse also comes in contact with the heated areas, is heated by these, and the result is an increase in the general temperature in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Covering materials in greenhouses usually block long-wave radiation (light emitted from bodies having low temperatures.) Therefore, the heat that is emitted from the heated areas is absorbed in the cover, causing it, in turn, to warm as well.<\/p>\n<p>This conversion of energy from radiation to heat in a covered area is commonly called \"the It should be remembered that the amount of energy available to the plants inside the greenhouse depends upon many variables:<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, the amount of solar energy outside: Outside energy is affected by geographical location (latitude), time of year, time of day, celestial brightness, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Outside energy, upon entering the structures, is somewhat reduced due to the physical properties of the cover, the geometrical shape of the structure and its position in relation to the north (which determines the angle between sunlight and the cover surface, in turn affecting the transmitting radiation.) Add to that the mutual shading of the structure's skeletal parts, shading from support systems that are installed above the plants and so forth (and therefore the amount of sunlight inside the structure will be lower than outside of it).<\/p>\n<p>This process (the greenhouse effect) enables reaching a much higher temperature inside the greenhouse than outside of it. In a low-temperature environment (e.g. Limuru, Kenya), this will naturally be considered a positive thing. In areas where temperatures are sometimes extremely low, close to freezing point, plants in the open either die or yield nothing. In such cases, cultivating under cover is therefore crucial to achieving any produce at all.<\/p>\n<p>However, when and where the outside temperature is naturally high (such as in arid areas e.g. North Eastern Kenya), the temperature inside the greenhouse will be extremely high. In order to avoid these extreme temperatures, special measures should be taken, such as ventilation, cooling, shading, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In point of fact, cultivating crops in a greenhouse is far more complex. Aside from influences on the temperature, due to water vaporization from the plants, there is an increase in humidity compared to outside conditions. In this context, the increased humidity can be regarded as positive and beneficial within certain boundaries. However, if humidity rises too high and for long periods of time (when the greenhouse is closed and unventilated), there is a high probability of crop damage.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_separator css=\"\" wd_hide_on_desktop=\"no\" wd_hide_on_tablet=\"no\" wd_hide_on_mobile=\"no\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"]\t\t<div id=\"wd-69624958f0dce\" class=\"wd-image wd-wpb wd-rs-69624958f0dce text-center \">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.vormia.com\/2024\/dazzlefarm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/use-1-GreenhouseEffect.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.vormia.com\/2024\/dazzlefarm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/use-1-GreenhouseEffect.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wp.vormia.com\/2024\/dazzlefarm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/use-1-GreenhouseEffect-261x300.jpg 261w, https:\/\/wp.vormia.com\/2024\/dazzlefarm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/use-1-GreenhouseEffect-430x494.jpg 430w, https:\/\/wp.vormia.com\/2024\/dazzlefarm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/use-1-GreenhouseEffect-150x172.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-tab-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style data-type=\"vc_shortcodes-custom-css\">.vc_custom_1768205183725{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}#wd-6964ab18de7e9 .woodmart-title-container{color:#6a4128;}<\/style><div class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\">[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"]\n\t\t<div id=\"wd-6964ab18de7e9\" class=\"title-wrapper wd-wpb wd-set-mb reset-last-child  wd-rs-6964ab18de7e9 wd-title-color-default wd-title-style-default text-left vc_custom_1768205183725 wd-underline-colored\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"liner-continer\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"woodmart-title-container title  wd-font-weight-700 wd-fontsize-xl\" >FAQs About Our Greenhouses<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"wd-69624b510fd95\" class=\"wd-text-block wd-wpb reset-last-child wd-rs-69624b510fd95 text-left wd-fontsize-s  gng-description\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>We\u2019ve put together a list of answers to the most commonly asked questions from our customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are 100% committed to making sure our customers have a positive and successful experience with Dazzle Farms.

We have 7 years of experience behind our designs. To keep moisture from dripping on you and your plants, condensation control is handled with a smooth inside roof surface and sufficient roof pitch. Top-opening roof vents provide natural, gentle, quiet venting. Combining top vents with base wall vents and\/or louvered windows, hot air exits through the roof and cooler air flows in down low, which helps preserve humidity. Roof vents could be automated.

This usually includes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Circulating fan:<\/strong> Air movement is essential for a healthy greenhouse environment and helps reduce heating costs and condensation. We recommend continuous, gentle air movement 24\/7 provided by an oscillating fan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heater:<\/strong> Type and size of heater depends of the size of the greenhouse and the inside and outside temperatures involved. Gas (natural or LP, vented or non- vented) or electric (120V or 240V) heaters can be used. To make a 120V heater more effective add an additional thermostat to turn the heater on and off at specific temperatures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coolers:<\/strong> In very hot climates sometimes positive cooling is needed. Air conditioners de-humidify the greenhouse, so we recommend evaporative air coolers which draw hot air through wet pads using a fan or blower. Water evaporates from the pads, providing cool, clean, humid air.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Humidifier or mister:<\/strong> Plants need adequate humidity in a hot greenhouse. Generally, wetting down a porous (bricks, gravel) floor is the easiest method for creating humidity. An automatic humidifier or a misting\/fogging system may be added if more humidity is desired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shading:<\/strong> Depending on sun exposure and plants being grown shading might be needed. Ways to shade include shade cloth, shading paint, roll-up shades and fiberglass panels. We recommend custom-fit shade cloth panels added to all or part of the greenhouse. Attached onto the outside of the greenhouse, they are effective, neat in appearance, reusable and available in a variety of densities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Propagation Mats:<\/strong> With good bottom heat, propagation is easy and fast, even in a cool greenhouse. Propagation mats are great for supplying heat to plants in containers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shelves &amp; Benches:<\/strong> Generally some type of benches and\/or shelves are needed. Many options are available and depend on the size and style of your greenhouse.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-title font-primary wd-fontsize-s wd-font-weight-600\" data-accordion-index=\"8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-title-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow do I order a Greenhouse with Dazzle Farms?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wd-accordion-opener\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-accordion-content wd-entry-content\" data-accordion-index=\"8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Call us (<a href=\"tel:+254732400444\">+254 732 400 444<\/a>) or email (<a href=\"mailto:info@dazzlefarm.com\">info@dazzlefarm.com<\/a>) to talk through your greenhouse gardening needs.
