Having Plants within Lean On Conservatories

If you are planning to have plants inside your lean on conservatory, and you want them to be there for a long time, there are elements that you have to consider before starting the construction. These elements are essential if you are expecting good growth among flowering and non-flowering plants, as well as healthy produce with your fruit-bearing ones.

Having many things in your checklist, as part of your planning, could be overwhelming. It takes patience and coordination with your builder as you slowly put a check on each one, but for sure this will help you to achieve satisfaction by the end of the project.

Here are few things that you have to consider for your conservatory:

1. Water supply

Since your conservatory is lean on, can your existing water supply system provide for the new building as well? Where is the nearest faucet located?

2. Position with reference to sunlight

Just like building greenhouses, a conservatory with plants should receive enough light to promote growth. This means, you have to position your conservatory where there is abundant light in the morning, and lesser in the afternoon. Of course you don’t want to expose your green friends to the scorching heat of the sun!

3. Roofing

You can choose from tiles to glass for your roofing. But considering the health of your plants, using glass would be best. This will allow ample light to pass through. Make sure there are no trees that would obstruct sunlight.

Because lean on conservatories actually cut some costs, by using the existing wall of your house instead of building a new one, adjusting to the considerations mentioned above couldn’t be that bad. In the long run, your investment would pay off as you enjoy a relaxing place in your home and feast with your harvest.
