I am seriously considering exactly this cabinet for setting up a small greenhouse. One of the weaknesses I have noticed though, is the wood on top and at the bottom. I think water will easily go there and make the wood swell. Have you had any problems with that?
The wood isn’t water proof, it does bubble a little. You can line it with a scrap of linoleum or something! I just accepted mine was going to bubble a little from misting. I set the bottom plants on plastic water catchers.
@@HalfHeardintheStillness Thank you, but I want my cabinet with very high humidity and also an automatic watering system. It will be WET. Linoleum wont do it. I guess I can basically get some more glass and silicone everything. Detolf seems to be a good base and cheaper than buying/building and aqua terrarium of the same size. My plan is to keep half aquatic plants, so it needs to be water proof.
I put the lights in there because the greenhouse cabinet is in a dark corner of my house. It also helps increase the temperature :) the strip lights Are linked below
hey. I have this shelf. I am wanting to add a humidifer instead if having to water often. Since the top is like wood. Any thoughts on that. Or how has it been working for you?
I had a mini humidifier on the second shelf and the only thing with that is the the water calcifies on the shelf from the water vapor. I don’t think a humidifier is all too necessary because the natural humidity stays consistent within the shelf. I’d say to not put the humidifier on the top shelf so it doesn’t ruin the wood top!
Just wondering if it’s necessary closing up the holes on the edges? Been seeing some greenhouse cabinets using the a rubber strip to maintain its humidity in it :)
it's not necessary for my cabinet because the humidity and temperature stays pretty regulated! But I've heard for the Milsbo it tends to escape from the cracks and need weather proofing. I'd say if you have one keep an eye on it with a hygrometer reader. :)

11:49 exactly what I was looking for. I have that cabinet and will be converting to a greenhouse. Love it!!!
I took a shot every time you said “take the reigns” now I’m in the hospital
Hahahah 😂 I’m sorry I didn’t what else to say
Smartypants drilled the hole in advance. Looking at mine and worrying about how I'm gonna drill a hole up there lol
Looks so nice! Enjoyed your editing :)
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment!! 💚☺️
this video has me seriously considering making my own greenhouse cabinet. Thanks for sharing!!
awww yay! It’s honestly such a fun project and inexpensive 👀 def do it!
Love your plants 🌱❤
Nice! I'm thinking about putting lights on the side too but haven't gotten around to it. Love it!
Thank you thank you! It definitely adds dimension to the whole thing ✨🥰
Love this! I'm planning on building my own soon. How is the humidity now without the humidifier and not sealing it?
Beautiful plants🌿☘️☘️🥰

Do u put the lights there to just help with or create the temperature or are there specific lights needed?

Did you seal the wood? If so, what did you use?
Hey! I didn't seal it at all and it seems to be fine :)

Do you actually still need to water your plants with the humidifyer? Or is the humidifyer enough?
You still need to water your plants no matter the humidity. If the humidity is high you won’t need to water as often but you still need to water.
Wait lol why didn’t you build it at your apartment instead of moving it built? That made me sooo nervous 😂
Because I’m inpatient and wanted to build it there & IKEA was closer to my bfs house 😂 I was nervous too loool
Won't the plants grow toward the lights? No room to put lights over the plants?
They can and eventually they will, but then you just propagate them :)
