Troubleshooting

Seeds are not germinating.

Ensure seeds are planted at the correct depth, the soil is kept moist, and the greenhouse is receiving adequate sunlight. Check the seed packet for specific germination instructions.

Plants are wilting or yellowing.

Check if plants are receiving too much or too little water. Ensure the greenhouse is in a location with the right amount of sunlight. Check for any signs of pests or diseases.
