A greenhouse is a building with transparent materials like plastics made of polycarbonate, plastic films made of polyethylene or glass panes to capture the light and heat of the sun and stay warm inside, even during the winter. In the daytime, sunlight shines into the greenhouse and warms the plants and air inside. Betel is a tropical plant so growing in the subtopic climate of India requires extra care and attention. So farmers grow it in a greenhouse where they can maintain humidity of 40-80% percent and temperature between 15oC and 40oC. Inside the enclosure, rows of thin bamboo or jute sticks are placed, usually a foot apart, each offering support to a single vine. As it grows, it is entwined on the stick. To keep the sand moist and maintain the inside temperature and humidity, farmers need to sprinkle water on betel leaf regularly, at least four times a day in the summer and twice a week in winter. The disadvantage of greenhouse farming is the lack of pollination due to the enclosed structure and over-expenses. Apart from betel, many banana saplings and herbs have been planted, and a farmer is looking after them in a torn greenhouse by storm at Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Sargachi at Beldanga, West Bengal; India on 22/6/2023.
