Hi GPODers!

The majority of the submissions we receive roll in during the peak of summer color, usually a time when gardeners believe their designs are at their “best.” However, there are some contributors that return time and time again when submissions are needed most: during the depths of winter. They might have a landscape that takes on a magical quality when covered in snow, or they live in a region that allows for four seasons of bloom and color. Or, like Andy Schenck in Malvern, Pennsylvania (Zone 6B–7—although it is feeling like 4 lately), they have a palette of plants that continues to provide interest after the temperatures drop. Andy has shared his incredible collection of plants with winter interest a few times in the past (Winter in Andy’s Garden, Unusual Plants for Winter Interest, and Andy’s Best Plants for the Winter Garden), and today he’s back with another outstanding winter update.

I have been gardening at Look Again Garden for over 20 years—it is a collector’s garden with many drifts of one. Zone busting is a favorite challenge as well as searching out the weird, strange, and rare plants.

Our first unusual evergreen is the wheel tree (Trochodendron aralioides, Zones 6–7), which might seem like an inaccurate name when you see these plants in cultivation. Often grown as a large shrub in the United States, this slow-growing broadleaf is a rare tree that can grow up to 60 feet tall in the wild.

There are many colorful conifers that brighten a winter garden, but ‘Korean Gold’ plum yew (Cephalotaxus harringtonia ‘Korean Gold’, Zones 6–9) is a standout. New growth emerges in this fabulous flash of yellow, which can create a wonderful gradient effect on the plant.

Holly is also a famous favorite in winter gardens, and this plant might just fool you into thinking they’re part of the family. False holly (Osmanthus heterophyllus, Zones 7–9), also known as holly olive or false olive, is actually a part of the olive family (Oleaceae). The spiky leaves can be deceptive on first glance, but take note that true holly leaves are alternate (single leaves grow staggered along a stem) and false holly leaves are opposite (leaves grow opposite one another on the same node).

Another fabulous selection if you’re looking for a little edge in your garden is the leatherleaf mahonia (Mahonia bealei, Zones 7–9). If you leave the standing stems of dried seedpods on the plant, like Andy has, these evergreens can give an extra element of winter interest.

An Asian relative to the native eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis, Zones 6–8), Southern Japanese hemlock (Tsuga sieboldii, Zones 6–8) has blunter, more rounded foliage and small, egg-shaped cones.

Chinese nutmeg (Torreya grandis, Zones 7–9) is a rare find that surprises with its hardiness. The fans of foliage that grow on one plane give the conifer an almost tropical look, but in Andy’s garden it’s still looking fresh with a light dusting of snow.

Andy keeps the spikes coming with another fabulous false holly, this one the ‘Ogon’ cultivar (Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Ogon’, Zones 7–9). Known for its vibrant yellow hue, the leaves will shift to green or chartreuse in winter.

Along with interesting cultivars, Andy also has an eye for uncommon species. Deciduous dogwoods are well loved and commonly planted, but the evergreen variety is much harder to come by. This ‘Green Splendour’ evergreen dogwood (Cornus capitata ‘Green Splendour’, Zones 6–9) is splendid in his winter garden.

Lastly, after all of that incredible greenery, Andy leaves us with the fabulous winter flowers of ‘Jelena’ witch hazel (Hamamelis × intermedia ‘Jelena’, Zones 5–8).

Thank you so much for sharing these fantastic winter interest plants with us, Andy! You have a truly wonderful collection of interesting and unusual specimens, delightful to see in this subdued season.

Much sought-after personal advice on the use of medicinal herbs from Europe’s most popular herbalist. Comprehensive and infomative, this time-honored herbal remedies have been shown to cure even some so-called “incureable” diseases. The book about herbs, which was first published in 1980, has become a phenomenal success. So far, the Publisher Ennsthaler Verlag has sold over nine million copies of the book which has become a classic among health guides and has been translated into 27 languages. It gives a detailed description of 31 herbs, ranging from agrimony to yarrow. The author explains how to prepare teas, tinctures, body pastes, baths and juices. These herbs are native plants, such as yarrow or ribworth that grow in meadows and woodlands, and are very robust. The enormous success of Maria Treben ist most likely based on the fact that she has restored an ancient knowledge that had already largely been forgotten.

12 DIY Greenhouse PVC Plans to Build on a Budget

At first I was a bit confused—how can one build a greenhouse using PVC pipes? Aren’t they fragile and complicated?

But I was wrong.

The more I looked into it, the more it made sense. PVC pipes are light, easy to work with, and surprisingly sturdy when put together the right way.

You don’t need power tools or professional building skills. Most of it comes down to cutting, bending, and connecting a few pieces.

What really sold me was how forgiving the whole project is. If you mess up a measurement, you can fix it. If you want to make it bigger later, you can. And if you’re short on space, you can build a small version that fits right into a corner of your garden or even on a patio.

A DIY PVC greenhouse isn’t about perfection. It’s about giving your plants a simple, warm shelter and giving yourself a project that feels doable instead of overwhelming.

Why PVC to Build a Greenhouse?

When most people think about building a greenhouse, PVC pipes are not the first material that comes to mind. Wood and metal sound more “serious,” while PVC feels a little too simple.

I used to think the same way. PVC seemed fragile and maybe even unreliable for something meant to stand outside in wind and rain.

But once you understand what PVC can actually do, it becomes clear why so many DIY gardeners choose it.

So here are the main reasons PVC works so well for building a greenhouse.

1. Easy to work with

PVC is beginner-friendly. You don’t need special tools or building experience. Pipes are easy to cut, bend, and connect using simple fittings.

2. Lightweight but strong

Even though PVC looks thin, it becomes sturdy when shaped into arches or frames. It can support plastic covers and handle normal wind and rain without rusting or rotting.

3. Budget-friendly

PVC pipes are affordable and available at most hardware stores. You can build a greenhouse at a much lower cost compared to wood or metal structures.

4. Flexible and customizable

You can make your greenhouse tall or short, wide or narrow. It’s easy to expand or change the design later if your needs grow.

5. Works perfectly with plastic covers

PVC holds greenhouse plastic securely. You can roll up sides for ventilation, add simple doors, and replace the plastic without rebuilding the frame.

6. Portable and removable

A PVC greenhouse can be taken apart and moved easily. This is useful for seasonal gardening or if you don’t want a permanent structure.

How to Build a Greenhouse Using PVC Pipe?

If you’ve ever wanted a simple structure to protect your plants from cold, wind, or sudden weather changes, a PVC greenhouse is a perfect place to start.

It’s affordable, flexible, and forgiving—even if you make mistakes along the way.

Materials Needed

Here’s what you’ll need before you begin:

PVC pipes (¾-inch or 1-inch thick)
PVC connectors (T-joints, elbows, cross joints)
Metal rebar or wooden stakes (for anchoring)
Clear greenhouse plastic or thick plastic sheet
Zip ties or pipe clamps
Rope or strong tape
Bricks, stones, or wood planks (to secure edges)
Scissors or cutter
Measuring tape
Optional: zipper or Velcro strip for a door

Step 1: Choose the right location

Pick a sunny spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. The ground should be flat and well-drained so water doesn’t collect under the greenhouse.

Avoid windy areas if possible. A protected corner of your garden will make the structure last longer and keep plants warmer.

Step 2: Decide the size and shape

Before cutting any pipes, decide how big your greenhouse should be. Think about what you want to grow and how much space you need to move inside.

Small hoop houses work well for garden beds, while taller walk-in frames are better for larger plants like tomatoes and peppers. Sketching a simple plan helps prevent mistakes later.

Step 3: Build the base frame

Mark the outline of your greenhouse on the ground. Hammer metal rods or wooden stakes into the soil along both sides where your arches will go.

Slide PVC pipes over these stakes and bend them into curved hoops. Space each hoop about 2 to 3 feet apart so the structure stays strong.

Step 4: Add support pipes

To keep the frame from wobbling, connect one long PVC pipe along the top of the hoops (called the ridge pipe). This gives the greenhouse strength and keeps the plastic from sagging.

You can also add side pipes or diagonal braces if your area gets strong wind or rain.

Step 5: Cover with plastic

Carefully spread the plastic sheet over the frame. Make sure it covers the entire structure evenly.

Secure the plastic using zip ties or clamps along the pipes. Weigh down the bottom edges with bricks or bury them slightly in the soil so wind can’t lift it.

Step 6: Make a door and ventilation

Plants need fresh air, so don’t seal the greenhouse completely. Cut a flap at one end to use as a door and attach Velcro or a zipper to open and close it easily.

You can also roll up the sides on warm days or leave small openings at the top to let hot air escape.

Step 7: Anchor and check stability

Once everything is covered, gently shake the frame to see if it feels strong. Add extra stakes, ropes, or weights if it moves too much.

Trim any extra plastic and tighten loose ties so the greenhouse looks neat and secure.

A PVC greenhouse doesn’t have to be perfect—it just needs to protect your plants and trap warmth inside. With simple materials and a few easy steps, you can build a greenhouse that helps your garden grow longer and stronger through changing seasons.

DIY PVC Greenhouse Plans

1. PVC Hoop House Greenhouse

To build a PVC Hoop House Greenhouse, start by anchoring PVC pipes into the ground and bending them into arch shapes over your garden bed. Add a support pipe along the top and cover the frame with clear plastic to create a tunnel-like shelter.

This simple structure helps protect plants from cold air, wind, and light frost while trapping warmth inside. It’s especially useful for leafy greens, herbs, and young seedlings during cooler months.

Because it uses basic materials and an easy design, this greenhouse is perfect for beginners and budget-friendly gardens. You can set it up in just a few hours and take it down when the weather warms up.

2. Walk-In PVC Frame Greenhouse

To build a walk-in PVC greenhouse, start by making a rectangular base and fixing vertical PVC pipes at the corners and sides. Connect them at the top with horizontal pipes and add a simple roof frame before covering everything with plastic.

This design gives you enough height to stand and work inside comfortably. It keeps plants protected from cold wind and creates a warm space for tomatoes, peppers, and taller crops.

It’s stronger than a hoop house and works well as a semi-permanent backyard greenhouse. With proper bracing and ventilation, it can be used for most of the year.

3. PVC Cold Frame Greenhouse

To build a PVC cold frame, make a low rectangular box and attach short PVC hoops over it. Cover the top with clear plastic or a transparent sheet and leave one side that can open for air.

This small greenhouse sits close to the ground and traps warmth around young plants. It’s perfect for seedlings, herbs, and early spring or winter growing.

Because it’s compact and lightweight, it works well in small gardens or patios. You can easily move it or open it during warm days to prevent overheating.

4. Lean-To PVC Greenhouse

To build a lean-to PVC greenhouse, attach one side of the PVC frame against a sunny wall of your house or shed and angle the roof outward. Cover the frame with clear plastic and leave a small opening for ventilation.

This design uses the warmth of the wall to keep plants warmer, especially during cool nights. It’s great for saving space and works well for herbs and small vegetable plants.

Because one side is already supported by a wall, it’s more stable than free-standing structures. It’s also easier to build and maintain in tight garden areas.

5. Raised Bed PVC Greenhouse

To build a raised bed PVC greenhouse, insert PVC pipes into the corners of a raised bed and bend them into arches over the bed. Cover the frame with plastic and secure the edges tightly.

This setup keeps soil warmer and protects plants from frost and pests. It’s ideal for growing leafy greens and early-season vegetables.

It’s simple, compact, and blends naturally with raised garden beds. You can remove the cover easily once the weather becomes warm.

6. Portable PVC Greenhouse

To build a portable PVC greenhouse, create a lightweight frame using PVC pipes and connectors without fixing it permanently to the ground. Cover it with plastic and secure the edges with clips or ties.

This type of greenhouse can be moved around your garden whenever needed. It’s useful for following sunlight or protecting plants during sudden cold spells.

Because it’s not permanent, it’s perfect for renters or seasonal gardening. You can take it apart and store it when not in use.

7. Mini Balcony PVC Greenhouse

To build a mini balcony PVC greenhouse, create a small box-shaped frame using short PVC pipes and connectors, then cover it with clear plastic. Leave a front flap or top opening for ventilation and easy access to plants.

This design is perfect for balconies, patios, and small spaces where a full greenhouse won’t fit. It helps protect potted plants and herbs from cold air and sudden weather changes.

Because it’s lightweight and compact, you can move it easily and adjust its position for better sunlight. It’s a great option for apartment gardeners who still want greenhouse benefits.

8. PVC Dome Greenhouse

To build a PVC dome greenhouse, connect PVC pipes in curved sections to form a rounded, igloo-style frame and cover it with plastic sheeting. Secure the joints tightly so the dome shape stays strong.

The dome design allows heat to circulate evenly inside and handles wind better than flat-sided structures. It’s ideal for areas that experience strong breezes or uneven weather.

This greenhouse also looks more decorative than basic tunnels and works well for mixed plants. With proper anchoring, it can be both functional and visually appealing in the garden.

9. A-Frame PVC Greenhouse

To build an A-frame PVC greenhouse, connect PVC pipes into two slanted sides that meet at the top like a triangle. Cover the frame with plastic and add a small door or flap at the front.

This shape helps rain and snow slide off easily, keeping the structure dry and stable. It’s especially useful in areas with frequent rainfall or light snowfall.

The A-frame design offers more headroom in the center and is stronger than flat-roof structures. It’s a good balance between simple building and long-term durability.

10. Folding PVC Greenhouse

To build a folding PVC greenhouse, connect PVC pipes with flexible joints so the structure can collapse inward when not in use. Cover it with plastic and secure it with clips that can be removed easily.

This design is perfect for seasonal gardening when you only need a greenhouse part of the year. You can fold it down and store it away during warm months.

It saves space and makes setup quick and stress-free. This type works well for small gardens and temporary plant protection.

11. Snow-Resistant PVC Greenhouse

To build a snow-resistant PVC greenhouse, use thicker PVC pipes and create a curved or sloped roof shape. Add extra support bars across the frame to hold weight from snow.

This design prevents snow from collecting on top and keeps the structure from collapsing. It’s ideal for cold regions with winter snowfall.

With strong anchoring and proper bracing, it can protect plants all winter long. It’s more durable than basic hoop houses in harsh weather.

12. Recycled Plastic PVC Greenhouse

To build a recycled plastic PVC greenhouse, use PVC pipes for the frame and cover it with reused clear plastic sheets or plastic bottles. Secure everything tightly with zip ties or wire.

This plan is eco-friendly and very low cost. It’s a great way to reuse materials while still creating a warm space for plants.

It works best for small gardens and short-term use. With creativity, you can turn everyday waste into a functional greenhouse.

Important Tips for Maintaining a Greenhouse

Temperature control: Keep the inside temperature between 65F–80F for most plants. Open vents or doors when it gets too hot and close them at night to trap warmth.
Ventilation: Allow fresh air to flow daily to prevent overheating and mold. Roll up sides or open small vents, especially on sunny days.
Watering: Water plants in the morning and check soil moisture often. Greenhouses dry out faster, so avoid both overwatering and letting soil completely dry out.
Fertilizing: Feed plants lightly every 2–3 weeks using a balanced or organic fertilizer. Too much fertilizer can damage roots, so keep it gentle and consistent.
Cleaning: Clean the plastic cover regularly so sunlight can pass through. Remove dead leaves and plant waste to keep the greenhouse healthy.
Pest control: Inspect plants weekly for insects and disease. Use natural sprays like neem oil and keep the greenhouse tidy to prevent infestations.
Maintenance: Tighten loose pipes and clips, repair any plastic tears quickly, and keep weeds out to ensure the structure stays strong and safe.

Conclusion

A DIY PVC greenhouse proves that you don’t need expensive materials or advanced skills to protect your plants and extend your growing season. With simple tools and a little effort, you can create a warm, safe space for healthier growth.

Whether you build a small hoop house or a walk-in structure, PVC makes greenhouse gardening flexible and affordable. It’s an easy project that brings big rewards for both your plants and your confidence as a gardener.

How to Grow and Care for Pinstripe Calathea

Soil

Members of the Marantaceae family require a rich, peaty growing medium to stay hydrated. However, they also require excellent drainage.

G. ornata tolerates soils that are slightly acidic to slightly alkaline, with a pH ranging from 6.1 to 7.8.

And since prayer plants are prone to brown tips, it’s best to avoid growing mediums that include perlite, since the fluoride content in this common ingredient can cause tip burn.

My preferred peat-free potting mix for these plants is actually a combo – I like to mix one part coconut coir to help retain moisture with one part De La Tank’s Houseplant Soil Mix.

This provides good drainage as well as ingredients that will promote healthy growth, such as compost, biochar, and humic acid.

De La Tank’s Soil Mix

You’ll find De La Tank’s Soil Mix in one-, eight-, or 16-quart bags from Arbico Organics.

If you don’t already have a supply of coconut coir (also known as cocopeat) on hand for gardening use, you can purchase it in a compressed block, which makes it more space efficient.

Prococo Compressed Coconut Coir Block

You can find 10-pound blocks of compressed coconut coir also available from Arbico Organics.

Water

G. ornata prefers moist soil, so don’t let it dry out much between waterings. I like to water my prayer plants when the surface of the soil has just barely started to dry.

Use a houseplant watering can to evenly hydrate the surface of the soil, watering until liquid runs out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.

Wait until the water has finished draining before returning it to its decorative pot or placing it back on top of the drainage saucer.

You might also want to try the bottom watering method for this plant.

Humidity

Prayer plants require higher than average humidity, and pinstripe calathea is no different.

Aim for humidity that is between 40 and 60 percent. If you live in a climate with humid summers, you should be all set and won’t need to add any more moisture to your air.

During wintertime and for those of us in more arid climates, a few extra measures can help.

I grow humidity-loving houseplants such as pinstripe calathea in my arid climate by keeping them grouped with buddies, and placed in terrariums.

The houseplant buddies help to raise the ambient humidity, and the terrarium helps to hold the moisture in. (It also helps to protect my plants from my curious cats.)

Fertilizing

Prayer plants prefer a gentle fertilizing regimen, so I like to use worm compost tea to nourish them.

If you don’t have worm compost bins of your own (yet!), you can fertilize your houseplant using worm compost tea sachets.

To use this method, you soak these “tea” bags in room temperature water and feed your plants while watering.

Teadrops All Purpose Houseplant Fertilizer

You can find organic worm compost tea sachets from Earthworm Technologies via Walmart.

Where to Buy

You can find pinstripe plants in nurseries and garden centers that carry a good selection of houseplants.

Or you can shop online!

Pinstripe Plant

You can find pinstripe plants in six-inch pots from Fast Growing Trees.

Beauty Star

‘Beauty Star’ is a cultivated variety of G. ornata.

Its dark green leaves have flushes of pale green between the midrib and leaf margins, forming a light green background behind delicate creamy pink stripes.

The stripes appear in a wispy, feathery pattern and the undersides of the leaves are deep purple.

This cultivar tends to grow only up to 18 inches tall and wide, with pink flowers.

‘Beauty Star’

You can purchase ‘Beauty Star’ in six-inch pots from the American Plant Exchange via Amazon.

Maintenance

You’ll only need to prune your pinstripe calathea if you want to shape it up a bit or if it gets the occasional brown leaf tip.

Like other prayer plants, G. ornata is quite sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations and it’s not uncommon to find brown leaf tips, even on well-cared for specimens.

Feel free to prune off brown tips with a pair of sterilized scissors. You can wipe the scissors down with rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to sterilize them.

A close up horizontal image of a prayer plant growing in a pot with a pair of scissors to the left of the frame with trimmed leaf tips. — Photo by Kristina Hicks-Hamblin.
