I know that a greenhouse is not air tight so I imagine it breathes somewhat and exchanges gas with the outside. However, I also assume that it’s going to use up the co2 in it for plant growth. How does it not run out? I think you could vent it, but then wouldn’t that cool it off and thus defeat the purpose of a greenhouse? All my web searches either give climate change facts or co2 supplementation by farmers.


I guess same as you get enough oxygen at home even if you don’t open the doors and windows at all.
It’s called diffusion. Unless the greenhouse is hermetically sealed, and the rate of consumption does not exceed the rate of diffusion, the ratio of CO2 will be similar to that outside.
A simple vent will be enough if not just small gaps in the structure.
Also, most green houses have fans that can help circulate air in from the exterior.
