but why take it green? I would buy it with the white cover to maximize the amount of light the plants receive. also I find it a bit expensive for what it is. it's plastic cover and just a steel frame, but that's up to you. It should work just fine for plants. It's always nice to have a greenhouse to put the sarracenias as they tend to grow tall and the heavy rain and wind can damage the pitchers. I really enjoy my little greenhouse for that reason.
