I was horrified when I saw the cat in the ikea cabinet 😆! Your setup is so clean and organized, its a beautiful space.
LOL that's so funny! The reflection of the glass 😂 Thank you!!
Your all white looks good with the shades of green plants. I would ask if all of your electricity for such high usage (omg) is from solar or wind rather than dirty fuel which is devastating the environment. Do the more narrow boxes fit good sized books?
Thank you for sharing your plant space and accessories with us. It was a nice tour.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
Such a joy to watch your setup Melissa. Your an inspiration to use plant lovers, keep up the good work and more great contents to come.
Thank you so much! :)
Loved the tour!!!! Really beautiful!! Good info on products for healthier happier plants… Thank you ❤
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour! 🥰
Your plant room is goals for sure, gorgeous and so well thought out. I agree about the Sansi bulbs to heavy and too hot. I'm really liking the GE full spec bulbs. Those wire management boxes are a must have. I found some on Amazon with bamboo lids. I wish my 🐈 wasn't a chewer so I could have large floor plants *pout.
Thank you so much! They are hot too! I forgot about that. I haven't tried the GE ones I'll have to look at those 🤗
Whouah I'm so jealous ' it's so beautiful and so clean. Amazing collection 😍 ❤️ ♥️
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I just found your channel and I love all of the different content you put out and how organized your collection is 😍
Thank you so much! That's so nice of you to say! I'm glad you found my channel! 🥹
I didn’t know there were power outlets with a timer! That’s great to know. Thanks for the tip!
Happy to help!
Thank you for sharing 💚🪴 I have been wanting to get more lightening and now I know what to get! 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you and you’re very welcome! 😊
Great video. You really covered everything
Thank you! Glad I can help! ☺️
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing with us.
Your setup is quite simple, yet very efficient and elegant. I wish I am as handy and artistic as you are , but your video is an inspiration to me 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Aw thank you! I'm happy to share! That's so kind of you! I really love my space and plants make it so easy to fill up a room!
I love the plant stand that your lights are standing on
Thank you! I love them!!
Very nice and clean looking setup.
I’m jelly.
You shared all, thank you.
The rails look great painted white!!
Thanks so much! :)
That levoit humidifier will run for 12 ish hours on continuous. When our heat and woods tube are running I fill mine in the morning and evening
I love my Barrina lights
I'm glad you recommend the Barrina lights. I just got some and will install them next weekend!
I love them! My plants can burn within an inch or two of them so I have to be mindful if they're really close but they've helped my plants grow so much this summer!
@@plantsbymelissa good to know!
I highly recommend the Kasa smart plug power strip
I haven't heard of that - I'll have to look it up! Thanks :)
Not sure how long it’s been but congratulations on 10k Melissa 🎉
Aw thank you so much! It just happened 🥹 thank you for saying that and being here!
You have such great set up for your plants!👍
💚🌵🌱☘️
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! :)
I love all your videos. Thank you ❤ Can you please provide the link for the 3m hooks that you used to put your plants on the wall?
Hello,
New subbie 👋🏽 Thank you for being informative. I’m puzzled why it took so long for YT to recommend your channel. Just curious, why no Soltech lights? I’m definitely looking into the Barrina since they are more cost effective.
Loving your new set up! Thanks for linking so many things, I love that world market shade, and it’s still on sale!❤️🪴
Thank you! It’s a beautiful lamp shade! ☺️
❤ that great
thanks for this, learned a lot. and that humidifier is now in my wishlist ^_^
Glad it was helpful! I think I'm going to love using in this winter!
I have a hunny well fan, it runs for 15 minutes every 2 hours, after 5pm my fan turns off for the day , my fan turns back on at 9am , my fan is on a timer, timer is set to activate every day at the same times and deactivates at the same time each day.
I run all my grow lights for 12 hours each day on timers, during the summer some of my grow lights are not in use because the location of those plants gets good sunlight from the windows they are next too, in the winter all my grow lights are used because they don’t get enough light in the winter.
Can you video your next trip to tj max?
I’ll have to see! I filmed a trip before and the music got dinged for copyright 😅
Congratulations on 10k!🎉
Thank you so much!! 🥹
I wish I had seen this video last month. I bought the Sansi grow lights, both a clip on (with 4 bulbs!) and the stand one with 4 bulbs, they are VERY heavy bulbs! And their own clip on light base is too weak to hold up those 4 bulbs. Plus the stand base is ALSO too weak to hold 4 bulbs! It is very wobbly. I have a cheap stand grow light from amazon that has a sturdier base on it at a fraction of the price! I want to send these sansi lights back. I am so sorry I bought these.
I love your setup very much! So clean organized and beautiful. I have a question what is better, let the lights on during the day? or during the night.
Thank you! I leave my lights on during the day to mimic when the sun is out - they need time without light just like how they are in nature :)
@@plantsbymelissa thank you so much Melissa!
Hello Melissa,
That set-up is dreamy ! Sorry for asking WAYYYY too late... How far are your vertical lights from the plants, please ? I put mine at like 40 cms from the plants and I'm having a LOT of algae, which I think is problematic and basically due, I think, to too much light. What do you think ? How far away are your vertical lights from the plants ?
Hoping you'll have time to answer... Thanks in advance :)
Sorry I'm not the person you want an answer from, but different plants need different light amounts, and also different lights are stronger. You are best looking at what your plant needs. With algae have you tried cover pots to block some light? I think algae is annoying too but I suppose not much you can do about it, just keep light above the pot so less light shines in through the sides
Cleanest room I've seen. Updated tech features and all lol
Thank you! I appreciate that so much! ☺️
In the main plant room, where did you get the pot that the Monstera is in. Nice looking plants- I really like the poles along the wall.
Thank you! Sorry, I don't know which monstera you're talking about, I have so many! If you put a timestamp I can look back and tell you :)
You're probably not using Sansi any longer, but just in case, those bulbs must not be housed inside a lamp shade or cover of any type; they require a socket-only type of open application for adequate ventilation against over-heating.
4:00 Nice standing grow lights to give them light from both sides if grown in front of a window. RIP the neighbour's eyes though.
P.S. : Isn't humidity above 50% all day a mold risk indoors? I want happy plants but not molds on my walls and textiles.
I need grow lights in my living room ceiling and I hung a T8 and they are so bright on the eyes. I’m wondering if the barrina hanging lamps would be easier on the eyes but give my plants enough light. I need them for the area like your window where you have hanging plants and the plants on the sofa table. Do you think this would work? Thanks
I thought it was a squirrel INSIDE the cabinet. Had to rewatch lol.
LOL I can definitely see why Luna looks like she's inside the cabinet 😆
Where did you get those larger clear pots? I keep seeing other plant tubers with them and I NEED them for my plant collection!!
I have a few different ones I use but I can link them here for you ☺️ www.amazon.com/shop/plantsbymelissa/list/2Q7LRSOZIGHH7?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m
💚💚💚
Couldn’t you plug a power strip into a wall timer instead of getting a wall timer with a bunch of plugs?
Where did you get that square fan in your greenhouse tho 😭
from amazon! I can link it and it's on sale too. Just FYI it's a USB but I have an outlet timer that supports that :) www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZBVLC7?tag=onamzmeli0992-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=B07PZBVLC7&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2CXDQMX1UIXI&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
Melissa, I have a question regarding the ikea cabinet. Do you have any recommendations on how to regulate temperature? Mine is in a separate room that gets quite cold in winter (below 60F) and I would like to put something in it to rise the temperature.
I'm not too sure on how to make it warmer. Maybe a heating mat for seedlings to keep in there? My lights make it pretty warm inside but my room is also very warm so that helps it I'm sure. Sorry I don't have much info on that! I haven't had that issue before :)
Reptile heat lamp. Make sure to research the type of heat lamp and the type of thermostat. There are different types of thermostat and you need the correct type. I forget both of these requirements. Mine is a black bulb in a black rudsta cabinet, with a black lamp, that I hide at the back. Be warned, plants can get burned and crispy and you don't want to start a fire, keep leaves away. Heat mats are no good at heating the air, they only heat the bottom of a pot for seeds. I'm in the UK so I had this big issue myself with it being too cold in thr autumn, winter anf spring. Another option is reptile heat cords around the edges of the cabinet (I couldn't find any in all white, not cream that is or off white, or all black, I only found grey or brown after an extensive search, so that didn't pan out for me)
The heat lamp is connected to a thermostat, a timer from the smart plug (so I can turn it off in the late spring when it's warmer) and the thermostat controls when it clicks on and off through the day and night. I set night to about 15 degrees in winter, and the day to about 19-20 degrees. The heat will be much warmer nearer the lamp than the furthest part away from the cabinet so bare that in mind where you place plants that can dry out or hate lack of humidity, and where you put the thermostat probe. I use a small hygrometer in my cabinet but it's not reliable, since I have two actually, and if I put them side by side they can be way out on humidity. E.g. one says 54%, the other 40%. So I don't know which is correct.
If I put my alocasia in a zip lock bag so will it survive winter without shedding leaves .
Hi, there's no way to know that for sure :) Humidity will help them and keeping them from drafty areas but plants will go dormant sometimes even in good growing conditions.
I’m curious, why do you a fan running 24/7 instead of just opening those huge windows?
Also, would you recommend the Haus light? I need to invest in one but want to get one that actually works, preferably off of Amazon
I'm not a fan of having the windows open in my plant room - too much of a chance for pests to come in and invade my space. After having thrips for 2 months I can't do that again lol. Thrips have loved my outdoor plants this summer too - they must be more prevalent in this area. What do you mean by actually works? I've had it for about 5-6 months over my moss pole area and I think it's done well for me. Plant growth takes time - light and fertilizer helps of course but some plant species just grow slower no matter what. So depending on the plants you have that makes a difference! I think most people don't release how close lights really need to be as well. 4-5 feet from a plant is almost low light if you measure with a light meter. The closer you bring it the better it's going to do for you :)
@@plantsbymelissa thank you! and I completely understand, you're surrounded by nature so I'd do the same thing lol. So Sansi vs Haus, would you go with Haus? I had to move my big burgundy rubber tree to my office and it's getting almost no light at all... so I need something that will make it not die at least.
Your home is lovely. But your plant room is bigger than my bedroom
Thank you! Very lucky to have this space 🥹
