- Four month update on my IKEA greenhouse cabinet. So much has changed, lots of new growth, different setup, and new grow lights! I ended up having to remove the waterfall and pond, but tbh I like how it looks a lot more now. The plastic bin i was using for the pond was a little ugly. I replaced my warm yellow grow lights with a full spectrum light from the company Mother, and huge thank you to them for sponsoring this video :)
best,
benji

Same!😂 i freakin’ love this guy! Especially his calm demeanor, super soothing voice and gorgeous, gorgeous curls! hahaha
It’s 2:14 am in London, I came across this just now and I refuse to sleep without watching this… ♥️♥️♥️

Omggg sess!!! I woke up at around 6am and mentally told myself i will watch his vlog after work and now im here HAHAHAHAHAH i love this for us
Oh my gosh! Your cabinet setup is like a fantasy, I imagined being a little fairy in there, it’s beautiful Benji.✨
😆😆
Not gonna lie, I watch this video literally once every few weeks because I'm so eager to start my own greenhouse cabinet, but for now I'm just vicariously enjoying yours. I can only imagine it's so enjoyable having an entire ecocsystem in your living room and the different lights made it look so good.
Yes!! So inspiring! I'm so happy you brought up SerpaDesign as well!
As both a reptile and plant lover, my heart skipped a little
I started watching him when I was around 15 or 16 i think. He's definitely a youtube og, i bet many of us have been inspired by him, and if you haven't, go watch his videos and you will be lol
@@benjiplant can you please link the video from him that will help us with building this? Thank you ;)
@@syamimsirajudin7305 benji has a video on this exact cabinet
I absolutely love how lush it became! The additions that you made really helped it grow!
Your terrarium is stunning ! I love it so much (especially the baby platyceriums). I love that you shouted out Serpa Design, icons supporting icons 💚
Thank you! and yes I love talking ab other channels I enjoy because I feel like you guys would like them too. It's like recommending a tv show to friends lol. For my aquariums/terrariums I get a lot of inspiration from SerpaDesign and Foo the Flowerhorn. The aquarium that I show at 4:04 was a direct copy from his volcano tank. I posted it on Reddit a few years back when I made it and people thought I stole his photo. I took it as a compliment though lol
absolutely beautiful - I really admire your ability to stick to your vision and build something like this from basically a glass cabinet!
and you have an amazing sense of beauty in how you've chosen the plants and set them out
really fantastic - I'm so inspired
I really like that you put up the names on screen of the plants! I know it's gotta be a lot of extra work, but please keep doing it! :)
it's so cool to see the update, how plants adapt and grow 🌿
my favorite part about keeping plants :)
@@benjiplant would be so great if you could share all plants list. Because i keep watching and watching it, so fascinating ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your greenhouse cabinet to us!! It’s simply breathtaking 😍 I admire the thriving micro ecosystem you have created. It must be so cool to see how it will change and evolve over time.
omg benji I have been waiting for this video! my cabinet has been sitting there waiting for me to build the terrarium! and this is the perfect motivator. All the plants are so absolutely beautiful and I love how much of an ecosystem it is within itself. I love the bugs, the CUTEST mushrooms, the passiflora is gorgeous... thank you so so much for sharing this project. It is amazing as are you! 💚
ikr?? the mushrooms are so tiny and they sprout up randomly and only live for around a week so it's always a joy to see them. I love the passiflora too! it grows extremely fast and is very hardy. I'm growing it out on my balcony, and in my home (outside the terrarium) and it's thriving in every location. The leaf shape and color is so pretty, it reminds me of a butterfly
@@benjiplant if you don’t mind me asking, where can one find the passiflora vine? Or what is the full name? If anyone knows, please inform me. I’m in love!
The passiflora is SO adorable. I am going to keep my eye out and hope I can find one. They actually look like chubby bats to me 😆🥰
@@benjiplantSo 2 years later do you know the species of passiflora? yours is so stunning I just have to get one for myself
Your plant cabinet is awesome! It's so lush and beautiful. Very inspiring
I have an old empty fish tank collecting dust in the garage and now you have inspired me to make a little planted terrarium🥰
This is amazing! Beautifully arranged, it looks so natural 👌
And the variety of plants is a feast for the eyes
I'm really glad whenever I see you get sponsorships that fit your niche needs SO MUCH
Just built my Rudsta and now I'm researching your videos to make sure I get all the needed supplies and steps in order. Thank you for inspiring me, Benji! 😊🌿🌱
was feeling really uninspired by plants for a little bit but this reignited my interest again. thanks for showing how creative you can be with plants~!
Your videos are a balm for my anxious soul. Watching the growth of this cabinet from its start has been super educational! Thank you so much! Your new dog is so adorable.
Gorgeous. Some little lizards or a turtle would make it a storybook fantasy, and maybe balance out the bugs.
You should sell your idea to IKEA, it would be a wonderful gift idea for parents to encourage learning how to create and grow things with their kids.
oh this is DELIGHTFUL, lovely to see how it changed over time
Amazingly well done! Nice to see someone putting their hard work and time into something so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
Love how it has grown lush and beautiful. 🌿
It looks amazing! Also your apartment, love the plants hanging from the windows 💙
I love your terrarium. Like escaping to another world that’s peaceful. 💚🌿🪴 It’s also so nice seeing how kind you are to Theodore. ❤️
This is so soothing. This is almost plant asmr. Thank you for sharing 😊
Impressive, this cabinet has really come into to it's own, good for her being able adapt your approach!
I really like your setup! Most people tend to putting too much stuff in their cabinets, like too many different colours that don't match that we'll, but yours looks really natural and balanced. Well done!
This is beautiful and lush. Yes, Benji, you are an artist. Love it!
You did an amazing job! Theo is an adorable addition to your home.
I like your approach to things, I'm the same way. Glad we're not alone! 😄 The greenhouse is beautiful. I hope to try something like this in the future.
Building 1st and learning from the mistakes after is exactly how I learned hydroponics. Keep it up 👍
Beautiful,so inspirational.
Thank you for including details about the mother lights and the reverse osmosis water and fertiliser. I was also wondering about the Manis xx. I love Theo,he’s the most adorable addition to your home.
Absolutely stunning benji! So inspiring and beautiful 💕🙌🏼
Absolutely beautiful! Work of art!
Absolutely stunning setup. Love how it's grown in 🌿🌱🌿
Cabinet looks amazing! Makes me want to redo my big terrarium that I've been neglecting.
Your videos make me so happy, they’re so enjoyable and informative!
I don't know what it is but I just find so much comfort in watching your videos, so Benji thank you!
This is truly genius and so beautiful! Thank you for sharing & for the inspiration Benji
“philodendron theodoreum” 😂 😂
I love this cabinet & absolutely loved the creative process of it
This is an amazing update, and a really dang good advertisement for mother lights. Now I have to get some 😂
haha i really do like them (they're not making me write this comment lol). they're different from any other grow lights on the market and address a lot of needs for houseplant ppl in terms of aesthetics and functionality
The voice is soo at ease and merits a subscription for sure. Keep up the great work and nice Serpa shoutout :)
How's the mantis? Everything looks amazing, I love it.
absolutely magical
I'm glad I found you I always wanted to grow moss but didn't know much about it. moss is very beautiful and even making them into aquarium is interesting so thank you!
This is very cool :D thank you for sharing this update. In the distant future I want to try to make my own cabinet! I’d also like to say that your videos have given me inspiration and courage to start making my own pant videos. You’re videos encourage me to be myself :D
Wow!! It's looking so lush and beautiful that's so awesome you did such an amazing job !! I love how everything just pops I could gaze at it for hours 😍👍💚
The sundews are gorgeous
Wonderfully inspiring as always! Thanks for another lovely video 💛
So beautiful. Very inspiring that I really I wanna achieve something similar to my future terrarium project. Love it!!!
Love it, looks like a mini paradise.
This is stunning
Your voice is how I imagine a psychologist would sound, very calm and soothing.
That has turned out spectacularly!!! 💚
If my new LED lighting doesn't work well I'll know which brand to check out!
I love your creation 💖 you're so knowledgeable. And inspiring. Thx for sharing 😊
Wow this is such a cool idea! So lovely to be able to have something like this in an apartment
so elegant and well done
Hey man I just found your channel and Im already in love wid your plants and I've been watching all your videos continuously. wishing u all the success and love frm India
This is striving. Congrats !
I do love how you incorporated Platycerium spores into your greenhouse ecosystem. I know thats what I would do.
i was trying to grow them in a tupperware container and then i was like wait... why don't i just spread spores around in my cabinet. 3 months later i started seeing sporelings! I'm just not sure what to do once they get bigger lol
This is just incredible!!
Great work Benji, it looks superb.
Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
Stay safe and well.
Absolutely loving this and so inspire. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the update! It looks great!
This is one of the prettiest things I've ever seen, I want to live inside that cabinet 😂
"fungus gnat heaven" was what I was thinking before you mention them. Glad you took care of them with the sundews 😉
Omg you saved my day! I love you 💚
Your voice is so calming.
It's so beautiful ✨
Amazing outcome! You just made me want to build one too. Great video! 😁
i just watched the video about you making it last night! and you posted a update the day after :D
An easy way to set up a pond fixture is to just bury a 2.5-5 gallon tank so that itself is enclosed/sealed.
I was thinking of getting tree frogs and this is really good inspo for the kind of enclosure I want to keep them in. Your rhaphidophora hayi is thriving. Mine is dying lmao
Yours are the best 8ve fi7nd so far, thank you for your generosity in sharing. Going to try making one
Beautiful... and effective! Perfection 👍🏼
This is amazing thanks for sharing! Hopefully I can try doing my own little cabinet some day ❤️
Your cabinet is gorgeous, I believe the passiflora you have is a trifasciata, I’ve got one and it looks like yours, such a pretty plant.
This is so so cool 😍i love love it 🥰
This is sooooo impressive and beautiful 💚💚
I found your channel and now I'm obsessed. I almost feel like I can do this too!
Love the update you definitely have a green thumb 🍃😊❣️
That is incredible! I wish I could just cozy up in there
Ahhhhhh!!!! This is so satisfying and cool
oh my gosh, this is so pretty! 😲
That is amazing. ive never seen something like this before.
about halfway into this video i realized i fucked up at work, spent an hour sprialing, and then came back to this relaxing content lol so thank you benji
I love your videos! Thanks for the cool update! :)
Thank you for talking so calmly.
This is beautiful !
Wow this looks awesome
I hate to read instructions too but at least you figured it out. Your plant showcase really looks wonderful. 😊
You just created a new need for my house. How dare you. Now I have to make one for myself and my nepenthes! :D
Love your content Benji
stumbled across your channel today! absolutely love how calm these videos are and i had to comment because i am the exact same in that i just do things and solve the problems as i go, no instruction manuals for me either (my partner evens me out though as he is very much to the book). amazing rainforest you've created here x
That cabinet looks amazing. Really well done Benji. It’s a great joy to look at it. What’s the fertilizer you mention you added into the substrate?
Thanks for sharing
So nice, love it❤
It’s a beautiful setup
ur videos fuel my passion for environmental biology!!! ur the coolest!!!! :)
Absolutely stunning indoor tropical greenhouse!, better than any painting/wall art (because it's alive!!!!), really excellent video........i'm inspired to try a smaller version, thanks! :-)
You can throw a granule of Osmocote in each pitcher if you want to fertilize the Nepenthes. I figured it would burn them but California Carinvores suggested it in a video and it works well. The cabinet looks incredible. Really inspiring.
