It depends on the specifics

It depends. Allowability of a greenhouse turns on the specific conditions below. Footprint over 100 sq ft is prohibited; smaller greenhouses tie to curriculum (agriculture/science) — recommend curriculum doc.

Conditions that decide it

Outside these conditions, the purchase is unallowable.

The receipt still has to be complete

A yes on allowability doesn't survive an incomplete receipt. Every receipt needs the vendor's name, address, and contact; the date; a receipt or order number; an itemized description; and the itemized and total amounts. Missing any field can get the expense rejected — and undocumented debit-card purchases past the quarterly deadline must be repaid.
