Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Minimum pot spacing is determined by pot size. Thus, for 8-inch pots, the closest spacing possible is 8 inches, which is the same as pot-to-pot spacing. As a consequence, you can place 8-inch pots on 10-inch centers, but you can-not place 8-inch pots on 6-inch centers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant Placement In small containers half an inch is good, but for larger containers you should leave an inch or maybe even two inches of space.

Detailed explanation-3: -Warmth and humidity promote plant growth. Plants need moisture, warmth and light to grow. A greenhouse stabilises the growing environment by buffering the ambient temperature and protecting the plants from extreme cold. A gardener without a greenhouse is a bit like a cook without a stove.
