Greenhouse Planting Capacity: Maximizing Your Harvest

The number of plants you can grow depends on your use of sprinklers.

Without Sprinklers: You can plant up to 120 crops and 18 fruit trees (remembering the two-tile spacing requirement for fruit trees).

With Sprinklers: Sprinklers significantly reduce watering time. Optimal sprinkler placement varies depending on the type used:

  • Quality Sprinklers: Sixteen are needed, occupying twelve inner tiles.
  • Iridium Sprinklers: Six are needed, occupying four inner tiles.
  • Iridium Sprinklers (with Pressure Nozzles): Four cover the entire area, using two inner tiles. Alternatively, five can be used, occupying only one tile.

Strategic sprinkler placement is key to maximizing your Greenhouse's yield.

Conclusion

The Stardew Valley Greenhouse offers immense farming potential. By understanding its capacity and utilizing sprinklers effectively, you can achieve year-round high crop yields, significantly boosting your farm's profitability.
