Greenhouse Trends for 2026: Blending Tradition with Innovation

The greenhouse industry continues to evolve, yet many foundational principles remain timeless. In 2026, we see a powerful convergence of proven growing methods with cutting-edge technology.

January Growing Strategies: Starting 2026 Right

January is an ideal time to plan for the year ahead. Whether you’re a commercial grower or a gardening enthusiast, these strategies can help you maximize productivity throughout the coming seasons.

Winter Growing Techniques

With proper insulation and thermal mass, Gothic Arch greenhouses can extend growing seasons even in colder climates. Cold-hardy crops such as kale, spinach, and winter lettuce allow production to continue through the winter months.

Spring Propagation Planning

January is also the perfect time to start seeds for spring planting. A protected greenhouse environment encourages strong root development before seedlings are transplanted outdoors.

Infrastructure Assessment

The start of a new year is an excellent opportunity to evaluate your greenhouse structure, address any winter weather damage, and plan upgrades. Energy-efficient features and automation systems can significantly improve growing efficiency in 2026.
