Humidity control and drying for greenhouses and horticulture

Excess moisture or dryness in your greenhouses can affect your plants in a wide variety of ways. If your greenhouse is too humid, it can:

• Reduce the transpiration rate (water loss) in your plants, disrupting their nutrient uptake

• Create a favourable environment for fungal and bacterial diseases, such as powdery mildew and botrytis

• Hinder pollination, especially in plants that rely on dry pollen for fertilisation

• Cause your plants to produce softer tissues, making them susceptible to pests and physical damage

• Form condensation on leaf surfaces, leading to leaf spot diseases and affecting photosynthesis

Overall, poor humidity control can cause your plants to suffer and potentially die, and greatly impact the yields you gain at the end of your growing seasons.

Our greenhouse dehumidifiers work by removing excess moisture from the air, either through condensation or desiccant technology.

Condensation dehumidifiers draw moist air in and cool it to its dew point. This captures the condensation and drains it away, allowing dry air to flow back into the room.

Desiccant dehumidifiers use absorbent materials to capture the moisture from the humid air, releasing dry, warm air as a result.

Several factors will influence what dehumidifier is best suited for your greenhouse, such as:

• The size and scale of your greenhouse

• The number of plants housed in your greenhouse

• The type of plants grown in your greenhouse

• Whether you intend to create a more humid or dry environment

• The ambient climate around your greenhouse

Due to these factors, we take a consultative approach with every purchase. This helps us understand your specific requirements and the unique parameters of your greenhouses, so we can ensure you receive the most appropriate system for your needs.

No. Home dehumidifiers do not offer the dehumidification capacity, air movement or flexibility that an industrial dehumidifier offers in a large greenhouse. This means they will not reduce humidity to a sufficient degree, harming your plants and creating safety hazards for those working in these environments.

A greenhouse dehumidifier should be maintained every few months to ensure optimal performance. This typically involves checking and cleaning filters, inspecting and emptying water reservoirs, and ensuring proper operation of components.

We recommend referring to the product manual accompanying your dehumidification units for guidance on how often they should be checked.
