The ones I got are to cover the windscreen silver side to reflect sun away in summer and white side to insulate against frost in winter. I bought mine in lidle here in France. I paid about 2pounds each.

Hi, I live in London and have a mini greenhouse. I have taken cuttings this year from different plants. This is my first year of using the mini greenhouse and I am unsure if I should open the door during the day or leave it closed during the autumn and winter. It also has a green cover, not a clear one , will my plants survive or do I need to bring them into the house to overwinter? Whirling Butterfly.
What plants and when @wilsongloria04? Any hardy perennials or shrubs don't need any protection. You can tuck them up against a house wall. I have cuttings of various things which were taken in summer/late summer/early autumn. None of them are undercover. I also have some small plants in 3 inch pots [including a white Gaura] which I bought a few weeks ago. They're all against the house wall. If they can't cope with the cold winters here, they're no use to me, so they're grown quite hard. Over cossetted plants just need more care. I have some sweet peas which were sown in early October, although I rarely do that. They're in the little greenhouse with the lid open all the time
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
If they're still tiny, you can keep them in the greenhouse but leave it open. If you want them outside, it would be best to harden them off a carefully if they've always been undercover, and that will depend on your conditions/temperatures etc. Once you have them inside at this time of year, you have to be careful with how you treat them re putting them outside.
Without seeing them, I can't offer more than that though.
