Need help with flooring of my in home greenhouse

[ram]

Hi

Last year I got a greenhouse and I got a big thick plastic sheets underneath the pots, however the water somehow got below the sheets and spoiled the laminated floor.

Can someone tell if there is a better flooring and where can I get it?

Welcome to the forum ram. I must be honest and say I've never heard of anyone using laminate flooring in a greenhouse, it's just not practical. I'd like to confirm as we are from different countries, that the building below is what you are referring to and not a conservatory.

Hi
I got a greenhouse that I use it only in winter. Its a collapsible greenhouse and it does not have any floor and lays on the whatever floor I place it on. So what I did was I have placed a thick plastic sheet on top of it I have placed this greenhouse and the pots. Below is the photo. Somehow the laminated floor got wet and it got messed up.

So this is an indoor greenhouse?

Yes, it is indoor greenhouse.I am sure it can be used outside as well. but since it is collapsible i believe its intended for indoor.

Get a piece of garage flooring from home depot?

Thanks, but I am erecting this Greenhouse in Winter and will remove it in summer, so I do not want the floor to be a permanent thing, so garage flooring might not be an option

It comes on a roll and can go back to a roll. REALLY

Now I understand Ram. May I ask why would you want a greenhouse indoors as they are actually made for being outdoors?

I live in Maryland USA where the temperatures go down drastically in Winter. I have many tropical plants in pots on my deck that do not survive the winter , so I got this greenhouse and erect it inside my basement and place all those pots in them and once winter is over I put them back on my deck.

Most greenhouses here use the adobe blocks for flooring and for those with money, they have the big tiles with the rustic design. I haven't asked why they don't use the synthetic flooring but my hunch is that it absorbs heat. With the stone flooring (adobe or tiles) it is more natural. Just to add, most of the greenhouses that I see here have the green fiberglass for the roofing. It is not durable but cheap.

We use cental heating and even with a humidier, the air can be very dry so partitioning an area for plants and adding hunidity to it really helps.

To be 100% safe I would use some rubber roofing or a pond liner (the same product) but you can buy it in a smaller quantity.

I have not seen anything like this before, is it sturdy enough not to tear if I place a big pot?
