Mini greenhouse EDA, model 013933 G.ANT CX, size L, 15.7 L volume, anthracite plastic

EDA Mini greenhouse, model 013933 G.ANT CX, size L, is a compact anthracite-coloured plastic greenhouse with a usable volume of 15.7 litres. With external dimensions of approximately 560 mm width, 250 mm depth and 240 mm height, it combines a sturdy opaque base and a transparent cover to create a protected microclimate for seed starting, young plants and small edible or ornamental crops. The unit is lightweight and designed for placement on balconies, patios or windowsills where space is limited.

Advantages

The greenhouse provides a controlled environment that helps retain humidity and heat while allowing adequate light transmission through the clear cover. Its anthracite plastic base offers durability and stability for pots and seed trays, and the compact size makes it easy to move and position. The transparent top gives visual access to plants without repeated exposure to outside conditions, reducing stress on seedlings and supporting more consistent germination.

Suitable for

• Starting vegetable and herb seedlings indoors or on a sheltered balcony
• Protecting young plants from drafts, light frost and pests
• Growing small salads, herbs or compact ornamental plants
• Propagating cuttings and maintaining humidity for seeds that need steady moisture

When it may not be suitable

This mini greenhouse is not intended for large plants or full-season outdoor cultivation; its limited volume and height restrict root and canopy growth for bigger specimens. It also does not replace ventilated, heated greenhouses for temperature-sensitive crops in cold climates, so additional heating or ventilation solutions may be required for delicate species.

Key specifications

• Approximate external dimensions: 560 mm (width) × 250 mm (depth) × 240 mm (height)
• Usable volume: 15.7 litres
• Material: anthracite-coloured plastic base with clear plastic cover
• Weight: lightweight, suitable for balcony or windowsill use
• Capacity: fits small pots, seed trays and cuttings

How to use

Place the greenhouse on a stable, level surface with good natural light but protected from harsh midday sun if temperatures become excessive. Arrange seed trays or small pots inside on the base, fill with appropriate seed compost, sow seeds at the recommended depth and water lightly. Keep the transparent cover closed to retain humidity during germination and open periodically to provide fresh air and prevent mould as seedlings develop. When plants outgrow the space, harden them off by increasing ventilation and reducing humidity before transplanting outdoors.

What to consider before purchase

• Available space where the greenhouse will be placed (measure width, depth and height)
• Types of plants you intend to grow and whether their mature size fits the greenhouse volume
• Exposure to direct sun and need for additional shading or ventilation in hot conditions
• Whether you require extra heating or humidity control for sensitive species

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the mini greenhouse to germinate seeds and nurture seedlings until their first true leaves appear; ventilate daily as plants grow and avoid waterlogging by using well-draining compost and moderate watering. Position out of strong winds and secure on balconies to prevent movement.
