Greenhouse Supplies Guide
By choosing future‑proof supplies—biodegradable trays, coco‑coir blends, IoT sensors, and IPM‑friendly pest controls—you’ll grow healthier crops, cut plastic waste, and save on energy all season long.
2025 Supply Trends to Watch
- Biodegradable seed trays: Plant-based pots break down in soil, eliminating plastic disposal. They're now reinforced with natural fibers for better moisture control and durability.
- Coco coir media: Coconut‑based substrates top the charts for water retention and sustainability—just rinse to reduce salt and you're ready to sow.
- Beneficial insects on‑demand: Live ladybugs and predatory mites ship overnight, allowing chemical‑free pest management that aligns with integrated pest management (IPM) guidelines.
- Smart environmental sensors: IoT devices monitor temp, humidity, and CO₂ 24/7, sending alerts before stress stunts your seedlings. ($50-150 per sensor)
- UV‑resistant repair tape: Extend poly film life by up to four years while sealing heat‑leaking tears in seconds.
