My $40 DIY IKEA Baggebo Greenhouse Cabinet | Ikea Hack | Houseplant Care Routine + Tips | Plant Tour

- Labor of love completed in one afternoon!
The IKEA Baggebo greenhouse cabinet is an affordable glass cabinet that can be easily converted into a greenhouse space for your houseplants.
From a 1-10 difficulty, I would say this is a level 3 (compared to my Rudsta which is 100/10 due to the nightmare spray painting job I did).
PROS:
-Small footprint
-Easy build
-Affordable
CONSIDERATIONS:
-Small footprint (Because you are replicating a humid, tropical environment, you may notice some plants explode with growth and outgrow the cabinet quickly)
-Additional customizations will add to the cost (but luckily, you can customize as little or as much as you like).
If you are using this greenhouse for display purposes only (and to keep away pets), you don't need to customize much. I would just add in grow lights, fans, and the acrylic shelves at minimum. The weatherstripping is only necessary if higher humidity is important for you. The reason why I like the acrylic shelves is because the holes are not only decorative - they are functional too because they allow the fans to circulate air throughout the cabinet.
I didn't mention it in this video, but I also taped a reptile heating pad underneath the cabinet to keep the bottom floor of the cabinet warm for my propagations.
Would you try this?

Links to everything I researched and used for this cabinet is in the description! Let me know if you have any questions and which cabinet you prefer (Rudsta vs. Baggebo) 💚
Boffum😂
Been needing an affordable one for asap until I can find one to convert! But this is so cute!
What would you suggest if I converted a curio/hutch/standing glass cabinet to greenhouse?
The timing of this video couldn’t be better 😮💨 today is watering and clean up day for my plants, who needs music when you have Michelle!❤
Hahaha you’re so nice! Thank you!
So glad I looked for the "baggebo greenhouse cabinet" hack and I found you. You are the best. I have had this cabinet in the box for about 6 months. I now have time to contend with this since I retired from my day-job recently. I can now dedicate time to my indoor plants, artwork and garden! So good / excited 🌱🍃🪴 Thank you.
Ooooooh!! Please find a way to show me when you’re done! DM me on Instagram if you have it! I love seeing other people’s builds
Grateful for this video and the amazon link! I'm an absolute beginner with plants and having this much cheaper option is great! $40 cabinet? Heck yes! I was going to jump straight to a milsbo tall but I had to reign myself in haha. Whenever I start something new I tend to get obsessed and over-do it really quickly. Thank you for showing me the way
The Baggebo is the gateway to other greenhouses for sure. I see a Milsbo in your future 😂
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow Lol! I think you're right :) I actually have plenty of land to build an actual outdoor greenhouse BUT it's Florida and hurricanes exist :/ Our fruit tree garden took a beating from one 2 years ago. :(
I just bought this cabinet with the idea of turning it into a greenhouse and then i see this video. Perfect!
Oh his exciting I hope it turns out well
Kid you not, I have this in box, sitting in my livingroom right now. Putting it together and I am so grateful for this video.I have a beautiful order, from Plantstory that you addicted me to, and all Alocasia. So many things from this video is going to make this easier. I'll put it on hold and get the items needed now. You literally saved me so much time and frustration. Thank you so very much.
I prefer the secondary cabinet for my plant room. Can't wait for Hubby to come home and let him know I found my Birthday gift!
This one is going in to his office as he is enamored with the Allocasia.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so glad the timing of this video worked out for you ❤❤❤❤❤
your channel is probably the only one about plants where I don't use fast forward playback. love love love the editing n everything!
Omg I really appreciate you sharing that! I take probably WAY too much time editing but I try to make it interesting 💚
Um this is goals! Amazing! The handle was the cherry on top!
I love that 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
I put together this greenhouse! I'm completely in love with it, and it was so easy to follow along with your videos and purchase supplies via your Amazon list. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!! 🪴💚
Aw thank you so much for sharing! I love hearing about other people’s builds 💚
I did this exact thing to my IKEA cabinet a few years ago!
It definitely needs a little refresh. This video came out just in time!
Yay! It was fun to make little improvements
The nameless variegated Alocasia and the white princess were just awesome ✨✨🤌🏻btw thanks for dropping the tutorial. Love ya ❤
I think it’s a Polly!!!! Time will tell HAHAHHAA
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow😂 confusion is high
The results are super!
💚🪴💚
Thank you!!! ❤
Niiiccceee ❤ Oh and the plastic asmr was a nice touch! Lol😂 Thanks again for the content. Definitely customizing my Ikea FABRIKÖR cabinet with those lights!👀
Oh gosh I LOVE the Fabrikor!
I absolutely am so grateful for all your advice and appreciate you taking your time to share the things that work for you thank you so very much ❤❤❤
Thank you for taking the time to share kind words!!
Excited to try the beggebo one soon! I have a small apartment so making space for more plants is always a good thing!
Yes!!! Hope it turns out amazing
I love how this looks!
Thank you so much! It’s def one of my favorite projects to date
I’ve been thinking about getting a Bagebo for so long and I think you’ve convinced me!
I think it’s such a good deal for what you make of it!
The shelves are gorgeous 💕 It all came together perfectly 😀🇨🇦
Thank you so much! I’m really happy with it
That magnet click was so satisfying ☺️ I have a feeling I'll have to do a project like this soon!
It’s so much fun!
Talk about perfect timing, I’m just about to order my IKEA cabinets and now I’m even more excited for my project
Can’t wait for the live! 🥳
See you then! What cabinet are you getting!!!!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow I just got the Fabrikor wide and both sizes of their Akerbar greenhouses. I’m also tempted to get the tall Fabrikor make a Herpetarium in the next year 🤞🏾
How convenient! I just received mine! Time to copy you, lol! Thank you!!
Yay!!! Let me know how it turns out!
I loved the live today on PlantStory it was awesome and I hope you come out with more soon!
I need a SHOWER after that I was so nervous lol. Thanks for watching!!
Getting my baggebo tomorrow and alllllll because of this video
Omg you have to find a way to show me the final product
I’ve recently joined your channel and your videos bring me so much joy! I am planning on doing this greenhouse or the akerbar. I was wondering how did you installed the heating mat under the baggebo cabinet?
I got my husband’s blessing to add 1-2 more racks in my plant corner! The first covered rack is coming next week! 😊
Woooooohoooooo
I have both and love them both soooo much!
I know right hard to decide. I want the Fabrikor in MINT
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow oh yessss
LOVE YOU 💋 You thought of everything! Always love watching your superb comedic timing, what is that a goat noise? 🤣🤣🤣
lol I’m glad you enjoyed
Some great ideas, thank you
You are so welcome!
Thank u so much for always sharing
Thank you!
I have a baggebo cabinet and I followed your shorts as a guide to set it up. I love it so much but definitely considering a rudsta now because I have way too many plants and some are outgrowing my baggebo . 😂
Do it! But DONT spray paint 😂😂😂😂😂
thank you thank youthank you thank you!!!! ive been looking for a plant cabinet but they were all insanely priced execpt this one!
It’s so adorable!
I meant affordable, but adorable works too lol
I really wish I didn’t find this video ; as I just HAD to buy this after watching. It will be here Wednesday thank you!
Ooooh fun project in store for you!
So nice!! I cannot get the humidity up in my Milsbro, working on that issue. I love the grating on the sides. Nice!!!
More plants will also increase the humidity!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow Hopefully the two boxes (which arrived today) will help. 🙂
Also!! I’m getting a small nanouk cutting! Your prop bouquets were too cute 😊
Nanouks are gorgeous and so easy going!
I like the smaller cabinet I want one .😊
Yes! It’s a perfect little greenhouse
This is so helpful! I just put my klingsbo together and I felt lost. Definitely want to find those magnets
They’re all in my video description!
I think the screw driver you have actually has a phillips head on the other side of the flat head. If you pull really hard on that flat head tip you can switch between the two
HAHAHAHAHHAHA 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
The shelves are so expensive I have to wait till next paycheck to get it.
And use the discount code! It’s not much, but every little bit helps
I love this idea! Working on getting all the bits and pieces for it, but i was a bit curious about how the plugs are all tied in? I have been trying to visualize the layout, unsuccessfully.
They all feed through the hole in the bottom and are plugged into a smart strip that automates everything from an app! It’s all in my Amazon storefront in the description! I have the lights and the fans plugged in. Let me know if that makes sense
Omg I love those shelves. I need 100 of them 😂
lol I saw them make one with HELLO KITTY cutouts. It was so cute
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow omg that's great! I love hello kitty so muchhhhh
Any tips on drilling with the hole saw? I'm really struggling to get it to work!
So my neighbor did it for me!! But someone messaged me on Instagram and said they struggled too and got a more powerful hole saw and it was easier: amzn.to/3TzcAHm
your cabinets are such goals! any reason you didn't go for the typical ikea milsbo?
Milsbo is HUGE and also the most expensive of the cabinets. I went with the Baggebo because it’s the most affordable and has a small footprint. The Rudsta I got because I like the modern straight legs and it’s cheaper and bigger than the Milsbo wide 🤌
Weird question
But how many fc does the grow light produce?
Thanks for sharing. It definitely looks promising to attempt. 😊
Did you mean the red sock at the 9:06 mark?
Omg I didn’t notice a red sock! Hahahah you have eagle eyes
@ohtheplacesyoullgrow I so didn't see anything at the 10:00 minute mark. You're going to make me watch it again before getting my supplies. 😂
LOLOLOLOL noooo not worth the hunt hahahaha
what do you regret about painting it? I want the baggebo but need it black
Thats a motherlife 32" in the rudsta? Ive seen in a previous video you had two leds on the side, why did you change? How is going with this new one, isnt too strong? Thanks 😊
I still have the two LEDs on the side! I just added the motherlife to that shelf because it didn’t have a grow light before
Can I ask how you attached the fans and did you leave that area open for outside exposure. Husband asking a million questions about this. ❤ ❤❤
I used magnets! I have a multi-part series on my channels playlist called “ikea greenhouse” - one of the parts is on just fans!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow So sorry I should have looked. Thank you so much for doing this series. It has been a lifesaver
Just bought mine! I’m debating whether or not to spray paint it black. Curious why you suggested not to? 🧐
It’s just a lot of work and requires multiple costs and the off spray ruined our garage even though I had tarp laid out.
Thank you for sharing! I thought it may have affected the plants or had issues because of humidity? I’ve mentally prepared for the work 😅
I already bought the cabinet and have a few grow lights and fans. The only thing missing are the shelfs & pegboard. Why are a few pieces of plexiglass so expensive? That's insane to me! Does anyone know of anything less expensive I could use instead? This was a great video though! Thank you for sharing this & linking all the products.
The links to your Amazon and Walmart storefront's are not working though, just fyi.
They are definitely an investment! They’re made by a small business in Northern California and when I learned about their whole design and production process, I honestly understand their prices. Thanks for letting me know about links! I fixed it 💚
Are you able to clean off all that algae? And do you use peroxide?
Since they’re propagations I don’t do anything with the algae because they’ll be repotted eventually.
Hi, you said you taped the heating mat; what type of tape did you use? How is the tape holding with the heat; would you suggest another method looking back?
The heating mat came with the ability to stick. amzn.to/3JlCVEa once I installed I never had to mess with it again 👍
Perfect, thanks for the Amazon list btw! Super clutch for the lazy 😂😅
lol I went through so many hours and hours of research so I figured I should just organize it
❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤
My birthday was on Sunday and my fiance got me a fabrikor for my plants
Omg!!! The GREEN ONE?
Also Happy Belated!
Do your grow lights use a lot of power? I was gonna buy one, but I found out how much watts it used 🤯 500 watts! With an LED bulb using only 10 watts!
P.S. I absolutely loved the video! It was so informative and SO easy to understand! Thanks!
According to the manufacturer (Barrina), the ones I have use only 20w. These are highly efficient LED grow lights!
@ohtheplacesyoullgrow Thanks for the reply/ awesome info!!
You’re welcome!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow 😊
Do you think if leaving some of the corms on the mom would've lived?
Some would argue I stressed the mother plant out 😅
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow I have an Alocasia Quilted Dreams and see a few of them sticking up out of the soil. I'm new to plants so I have a lot to learn. I think I'll make an ICU box to grow them lol.
What do you use to edit to get the music in the videos?
How much weight can each peg board carry and where can I purchase them?
Hi! If you look in the description I linked the shelves. They’re really sturdy and thick. I don’t know the exact weight. Maybe it says on the site but it’s MUCH sturdier than the glass ones that come with the cabinet.
Only because I am lazy. What size pegboard did you get??
There’s only one size for the Baggebo!
Do you think a heatmat is necessary
I use it for rooting corms and other propagations!
What are you using to propagate?
It’s stratum
What if I already put mine together
I built mine and then did the accessories and weatherstripping. Only thing is drilling the hole. It’s still possible.
Curious to the total after all the add ons?
Hi! So my total is not really accurate because I actually used all leftover materials from another greenhouse build. The weatherstripping, grow lights, magnets, etc were all extra materials. On my Amazon storefront, I organized everything all into one list so you can see the individual cost breakdown
Don't mind me making notes on my hand of things you might ask about from the video 😅
Me too😂😂😂
LOLOLOLOLOLOL NOOOOO I swear you’ll be fine! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHA it’s REALLY not going to be hard I PROMISE
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow well thanks for saying that! 😂
Where do you have room for all these cabinets??! 😅
LOL if there’s floor there’s space 🤣
Homegirl you actually have a Red Anderson right there! Not a WPP ❤ WPPs have a light green stem with light pink striping. Red Andersons have full burgundy stems with white striping.
Okay someone mentioned to me about the stems! Do you think it’s a white knight??!!! I swear I bought it labeled as a WPP lol
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow I’m just noticing there’s no pink on the leaves, so yeah you’re the proud owner of a P. White Knight 👏🏼👏🏼
lol I feel like a foreign child has lived under my roof this entire time. I’m looking at it going “I don’t even know you!” 🤣
😘🐠💕
Thanks!
I didn’t watch thru the whole video yet but mystery alo at 2:20 looks like a frydek to me 🤔
As always, thanks for the glimpse in your life!! Wish we lived closer together. (Also, not the toilet in the middle of the living room 🤣 that’s gonna be me next week 🫣)
I don’t think it’s a frydek though!!!! I really think it’s your Polly???? You know what I need to do is go back and watch my OWN reels unboxing and see HAHAHAHAHAH
So.. How come you put the corms in their own tiny greenhouses with 100% humidity but also into the greenhouse cabinet? The humidity from the cabinet probably isn't affecting them at all. Seems like a waste of space in the cabinet. No hate or anything just a question.
There’s a heat mat taped underneath the cabinet that helps the rooting process and once they outgrow their little cups they acclimate to the higher humidity in the cabinet 🙂
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow Makes sense now!
Where do you get shelves
HI! I listed everything in the description :)
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow I didn't see it. Will look again
Found it what version did you get
I got one half shelf and one full shelf
I literally just built two😂
I’ve seen people CONNECT them. Super cool
She is a funny girl
Thanks!
Girl that's to much work and all the money spent to cover the sides I rather go with blaliden cabinet is 79.99...it came out nice tho ❤
The window sealing kit to cover the sides is like $6! Haha you know the blaliden didn’t exist when I got the Baggebo! It is niceeee
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow true u are so right it didn't . Is best best tho for the price compared to this one but u are right this is a good way to go also if you already have one 🥰
I should got gotten this ages ago! BF wanted to buy it for me but I said no because of the mesh. Stupid me duh! Seal it! Problem solved! 🤦🏻♀️
Try it now!
Whyyyy did I not know there was a little bitty greenhouse cabinet until today🫠🫠🫠🫠brb running to buy this ASAP
Such a fun project!
