I have two Ikea combined Detolfs and one single Detolf cabinets as my greenhouse. I definitely enjoy the aesthetics and functionality of them. But one important thing is that you have to be pretty handy to drill holes/ weather strip/ cut shelves/ cable management etc., becuz there is so much room for customizing. You have to figure out what you want to do based on plant types, sizes and light requirement. And once your plants grow bigger, you need to tweak the cabinet to fit them, such as switching from 3 shelves to 2 shelves to create more vertical space. It is a lot of work but also aesthetically pleasing and satisfying. Make sure you know you are signing up for those handy projects.
Such an informative video...nice to know the different options. I definitely want an ikea cabinet and i will most likely buy all the stuff i need for it over the summer and save it for a fall project. They look so beautiful filled with plants i might get 2!
I gave up on terrariums because my plants always got moldy. But I did buy the plastic greenhouse and I love it. Not pretty but it works! One day I’d love to have a grow tent. Great video 😁 💙
I just found a milsbo in the trash 😭 it's brand new and the glass isn't even dirty. I don't know why someone threw it out but now I'm down this rabbit hole! I'm SP happy!!!
Great info. Appreciate the time and research you put into this video. Because I live in Canada and have space constraints I ended up with a cheap reptile terrarium off Kijiji but I’m not planting it. I will use it as a winter home for my humidity loving plants and set up more like an IKEA cabinet. It’s already set up for electrical cord management and is 18” high with front access - adding a wire shelf riser to double plant space at the back and a fan- can light from the top without having to install from inside. I will have to cover the mesh lid with glass to retain humidity but I like that I can leave water in the bottom without worrying about rust or damage. I may end up putting egg crate in the bottom to allow for drainage so nobody sits in water but it also means I don’t have to take up any space with a humidifier. Thanks for this comprehensive video - you’re very engaging. From a fellow Canuck 🇨🇦!
I think you hit every point. I’m now off to bush whack my 35 gallon terrarium now. Lol. I’m so glad I sunk my pots. Pick them up and cut everything else back. Have a fabulous day!!! 🍀🌿☘️💕❤️💚
I don't have any one so far I just use the home depot metal racks for my plants but I'm definitely considering a better esthetic option. Probably the ikea one would be the greatest. Thanks for all the input that will help me decide the best option for myself. Alway love watching your content🥰🥰
I have a wide milsbo, and detolf. Also, have a small 4 shelf greenhouse that I just got. Not sure if they have them in Canada, but in the States we have Lidl grocery stores. And I purchased that litte greenhouse for $20.00. As always love your videos!!!! 🥰
Love the look of those Ikea cabinets I just don't have the room. I did get the Vittsjo glass and white shelves 2 weeks ago. I did have to wait a long time for them to restock but got a text when they were in. Looking forward to seeing your new channel 😀😊
Nice work...very informative...I went with the Ikea option (Milsboro)...and they sell out fast in Australia also...must be an international phenomenon....
Great video as always! I'm swinging between the plastic green tent for indoors or the sexy Ikea cabinet. The deciding factor will be having enough money and my funds are looking pretty bad right now 😆 Anyway, a girl can dream...Thanks for all the research and I really enjoy your video's 😘🌿💖
You can decorate the greenhouse. Tulle curtains flower pattern adhesive window film. Table cloths shower curtain. Faux frosted glass window film with led candle for faux giant pattern greenhouse. If you use grow lights you need window film or blackout curtains to protect your eyes. Uv light in grow lights hurt your eyes 👀. I forgot contact paper on cardboard to cover the wire shelves
Great video!🌱 I’ve desperately wanted a milsbo since last year when I first discovered them! I live 7-8 hours away from an ikea and shipping would be 249.00! I’ll be making that trip this summer when I know they’re in stock. Hopefully they’ll allow me to pre pay! So frustrating!
Excellent excellent video, very informative I loved it. I have to ask a question, you said you put your grow tent up by yourself. Did you also put the covering on by yourself? I got one for Christmas and I put it together by myself, but the canvas is so heavy, no way can I do it by myself, and it’s only me. If you did this by yourself can you give any tips and tricks how you did that? So mine is just sitting there unfinished because I don’t have anyone around to help me☹️😩. Can’t wait to see your new video on your other channel👏👏👏
Aww thanks love! I did, yes. I got the bottom part situated first and then the side, then I stood it up and flipped the top over. I think... 🤔 It's been a while since I set it up, but I was able to do it myself. I don't think I actually showed the setup in my video, but there are some great videos on YT that show how to set up different models..maybe give that a shot? 😬 Sorry you're having a hard time hun. I'd come help if I could..
@@TheSweetgurliee Thanks so much, that’s what I did, after I found what was bottom and what was the top. Dead giveaway when I saw the openings for cords where on the floor I knew it wasn’t right😂😂😂😂. That’s what I have Vicodin, my daughter got it for me for Xmas. That’s how long it’s been sitting there. 🤷♀️
I've been trying to sign up for text alerts for the milsbo and there is no option anywhere on the site or app for it. I'm heartbroken as I finally have the funds to purchase and they're nowhere to be found.
My husband wants to build me an outdoor greenhouse. I'm like "Are you insane? We live in MD. We'd need a heater, fans for ventilation, and other stuff I don't fully understand." 😅

Aww thank you Hun! Yes! They are definitely the most esthetic option and super popular right now. I love mine! 🥰

After months & months I finally scored a milsbo Ikea cabinet .. living it so far & learning too .. so hsppy love ur Canadian input 🥰🥰🥰

Awww.. 😭 Thank you love! 🥰
So true and helpful !!!

Awesome video! Your plants and home are beautiful and you have a beautiful personality!
Awww.. thank you so much love! 🥰
Fantastic video!!!! Thank you for all the great information 💚🪴🌱🌿 I have a Milsbo on the way 🙌🏼
Awesome Video. Great explanations.
Nice video! I think the biggest con of the grow tent is that you can actually not see the plants from the outside. That really makes it a no go for me
Loved this and can't wait to see what you've got going on your new channel!
Thanks love!!! I'm nervous, but excited at the same time. Lol

Oh wow!! That's a great deal! They are great little greenhouses!
Thanks so much Hun!! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for all this information and comparing 🙏🏽💗🌿💗🌱💗
Great! I asked about this on Instagram, thanks for making this video;)
You're so welcome love!!! 🥰🥰
The Detolf is $129 now, craaaazy!
Love the look of those Ikea cabinets I just don't have the room. I did get the Vittsjo glass and white shelves 2 weeks ago. I did have to wait a long time for them to restock but got a text when they were in. Looking forward to seeing your new channel 😀😊
Yes! They make amazing little plant shelves! Sadly, most of my plants outgrew them. :(
Thanks so much love!! 🥰🥰
Great informative video! I like how you mentioned the pros and cons. I am going to try the plastic greenhouse. Thank you!
Good
day. THAT'S THE BEAUTY of how many super beautiful flowers
🥰
Thank you so much for all the great information on these greenhouse, I have the plastic mini greenhouse to start seeding different plants.
Those are amazing! I love mine!!
Thank you for this share !!!
I just got my first apartment alone and there’s no good sunlight ☹️ I’m going to try the ikea stand and add light. Thank you !
That's a great option! I mostly use grow lights as well but they seem to do the trick. :)
I am one of those poor souls stalking the ikea website for restocks.
That's the key to have the room!! I see a few that I could work with. But I like the Mars but don't currently have room!!
That's definitely the tricky part. Luckily, these all come in different sizes for different spaces, so that's a bonus. :)
Awesome video! Thanks for all the info
Nice work...very informative...I went with the Ikea option (Milsboro)...and they sell out fast in Australia also...must be an international phenomenon....
Thanks love! 🥰
Yes! They absolutely do and are. I can definitely see why though. They are beautiful pieces.
I will also go for it !!!
This is super helpful! Thank you so much! 💚
I have seen the DETOLF used as a home for a hamster. The cabinet on its back so it was a huge home for the hamster.
Oh wow!! What a great idea!! That's a hamster luxury condo! Lol
This video was so helpful!
Great video as always! I'm swinging between the plastic green tent for indoors or the sexy Ikea cabinet. The deciding factor will be having enough money and my funds are looking pretty bad right now 😆 Anyway, a girl can dream...Thanks for all the research and I really enjoy your video's 😘🌿💖
Lol they are absolutely a sexy option. 😂😂
Thanks so much love! 🥰
Can't wait to see the terrarium, I made one, and I agreed with all your facts, I bet yours is beautiful , thank you Nikki as always.Cheers
Thanks love!! 🥰 I'm hoping to get to making the new ones soon. 🤞🤞
Wow ! How did you make it❤️
You can decorate the greenhouse. Tulle curtains flower pattern adhesive window film. Table cloths shower curtain. Faux frosted glass window film with led candle for faux giant pattern greenhouse.
If you use grow lights you need window film or blackout curtains to protect your eyes. Uv light in grow lights hurt your eyes 👀. I forgot contact paper on cardboard to cover the wire shelves
I absolutely love your personality!!!!

Eak! That's a long drive and DANG!! That's a lot for shipping! 🤯
It’s 299 delivery now!😤
Hi love!! Missed your face. Good to see you back
Aww thanks love!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@@PlantsPotsWhatNots aww thanks, I’ll try some videos
Put the whole thing on the floor and you can shimmy the cover over while its laying down! I put my vivosun 2 in 1 up by myself as well!
@@TheSweetgurliee Thanks so much, that’s what I did, after I found what was bottom and what was the top. Dead giveaway when I saw the openings for cords where on the floor I knew it wasn’t right😂😂😂😂.

Love your shirt!!
Oh my I love your t shirt💚🙃
Thanks love!!! We love Laura and Aaron! 🥰
Does it keep your plants warm if your running air-conditioning?
Super helpful ❤️
Thanks Hun! 🥰
Doesn’t keeping your plants sort of locked away keep you from benefiting , as far as cleaning the air and ETC….
💚💚💚
Good video 🤘❤️
Thanks love! 🥰
I've been trying to sign up for text alerts for the milsbo and there is no option anywhere on the site or app for it. I'm heartbroken as I finally have the funds to purchase and they're nowhere to be found.
Aww I'm sorry love. I know they are hard to track down right now. :(
I went to your Amazon listing of plastic greenhouses and both are unavailable.😞
Sorry love. I updated the links. Give it a try now.
@@PlantsPotsWhatNots Thank you!
😁💚
🥰🥰
How do you get air flow in these enclosures?
I have fans in my Ikea cabinets and both the greenhouse and grow tent, which I also open up and air out once a week. :)
My husband wants to build me an outdoor greenhouse. I'm like "Are you insane? We live in MD. We'd need a heater, fans for ventilation, and other stuff I don't fully understand." 😅
