I have many Dens. growing in my greenhouses. They need lots of light. Some need humidity also. I suspect that light is the issue with yours since the plant is growing well otherwise.

On your questions about the greenhouse, I have built 2. One from a kit similar to the one that you purchased and the other built from scratch. Siting is very important. I ran both of my greenhouses east to west. Since I am on the Nothern Hemisphere, they will receive maximum benefit from the sun if built along this axis. Second, know what you want in the greenhouse before setting it up. Do you want water---if so, where will it come from. Do you want electricity---if so, where is it coming from and how much do you need. Drainage is another major issue in all greenhouses. Are you making drains or will the water just drain into the soil. If the later, plan to add sand and gravel to help drain away the water.

It really is wonderful when it is all done and you can see what your work has accomplished!
