The addition of a sunshade (Aluminet) to the roof was installed to reduce sunlight intensity as the basis for the greenhouse (my all-time favorite plant genus-philodendron), which require reduced light intensity. Naturally, the number and type of plant varieties selected and placed into the greenhouse rapidly increased, requiring me to remove the sunshade to increase sunlight intensity (removing all philodendron species) except during the fall and winter months.
