  • Here's how I built my IKEA greenhouse cabinet. I went with the Rudsta model instead of the Milsbo or other models. In this cabinet, I'm putting most of my high value plants I think would benefit from higher humidity and warmer temperatures. I'm super excited to see how this does over time. Thanks for watching!

    Just a suggestion, you could get smaller grow lights, and attach them to the underside of the magnetic shelves to help spread some more light to those shadowed areas.

    I purchased this cabinet too. Also 2 of the taller, single door, matching cabinets a few weeks go. I got the same fans and saw another UA-camr hang them by magnetic hooks and small black zip ties. Works great! I want to make some type of corner plexiglass shelves and maybe add magnetic shelves like yours or some Ikea pegboards that I have. Always fiddling around with my greenhouse lol. Yours looks great! Looking forward to more content!

    3:44 in - You may eventually have to replace your electrical fixtures, so you need that cap to remove easily so plugs fit through the hole. Whatever method you choose to afix that cap needs to be easily reversible. See if you can carefully modify the flanges on it by flaring them out slightly, or wedging in some rubber tubing or something around the seal. If it's metal and not plastic, use the super strong magnets. They're available in different sizes and strengths. For your lighting issue, you might experiment with mirrors or white board on the bottom or other surfaces to reflect more light back into the lower plant area. Otherwise, it looks great, and I hope it's all going well for you.

    Since you have aquariums too, I wonder what would happen to your humidity levels if you put a small aquarium on the bottom level with a simple sponge filter or just an airstone. Could look really good too, if you used aquarium plants that are good for emersed growth, and have them spilling out of the tank.

    Perfect timing! I just got a Rudsta yesterday for my plants and put it together last night. I haven't set everything up yet but this gives me some great ideas. I did use one of the glass shelves so my smaller plants could go up top, and I can attach a second light to the bottom of the glass shelf for the taller plants on the bottom.

    I use horticultural charcoal, perlite, lava rock and black soil.
    I stay away from orchids bark and organic potting soil mixture because it produce fungus nats.
