Abstract
This paper summarises the results of measurement of air temperature, humidity and global radiation in two different types of greenhouses used for very special plants and flowers during a winter period of the year. According to the results of measurement the indoor conditions were optimal in the Tropical greenhouse. The inside conditions in the Subtropical greenhouse were considerably low during the coldest days when the minimum of inside temperature was closed to critical value for cultivated plants. The course of indoor radiation in greenhouses agreed with trend of outside global radiation measured by official meteorological station of CULS Prague. The average global radiation in tropical greenhouse is influenced by the shadow of the central corridor, but nevertheless the global radiation in the subtropical greenhouse was significantly lower than in tropical greenhouse in the same time.

Key words:
