My Commercial Greenhouse had about 100 plants vs about 50 in the standard greenhouse, but also, for some reason you can't walk around the upper shelf, so those 25 are hard to grab, but you can climb up in the Commercial. NB: On Jemison I had no greenhouses in the outpost Builder tab - I had 100% surveyed the planet/flora months before. I unglitched it by finding an unscanned plant (light blue outline on the scanner), even though it should've been scanned already.
