I've just bought a greenhouse from Bunnings for my Ficus, cuttings and seedlings. I've recently root pruned and repotted 4 trees and I placed then in the greenhouse (I live in Melbourne).
Is this a good idea? leaving in the greenhouse until they recover from the repotting (maybe 1 month) or this will do more harm than anything to the tree?

Thank YOU!!!
Just a tip leave the zips open during the day or you'll roast your plants on a sunny day. I bought one from bunnings a few months ago and put all different types of cuttings in it. They were coming along nicely, had a sunny day by the time I got home from work most of the cuttings had wilted and died . So now I unzip in the morning and zip up again at night.

Ok thanks for the tip, but do you have a clear plastic cover? Mine has got a white non transparent cover... Would it make a difference?
Its the heat from the sun that builds up. If you keep it zipped up in full sun unzip it at say lunch time you will feel the heat come out. If you use the top shelf plants are just too hot. And they cook. Wouldn't matter if your cover is clear or frosted it radiated heat.
