How I built my IKEA "rudsta" greenhouse cabinet

- 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!
best,

That was my first impression and also the reason why I hit subscribe😃
Yes he should totally do like plant asmr discussions or something
These videos are like an ear massage 💆♀️
@@scottfletcher1956 🤣🤣 I agree

haha i love this
the sound of your aquarium in your room makes me want one. it seems so calming
sometimes i play rainforest noises and pretend like i’m in a rainforest lol. Makes for really nice white noise when i’m going to sleep
@@benjiplant I'll definitely try that lol *pretends to ignore the fact that i fall asleep at 5 am* definitely for sure
Not me stalking this account bye- 😭
Same 😭
literally me 😭✋
i only have 2 videos rn, not much to stalk sorry 😭 lol
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.
the person who disliked the video needs a hug and good vibes...
I just recently discovered your channel and am so inspired by your love and dedication to your plants, I have always loved plants so I'm in awe at how nurturing you are towards them. Thank you for your unbridled quiet joy !
Your videos bring me so much peace when I’m feeling anxious ❤️ thank you for making them
your videos literally make my day benji!! im usually so uninspired and lazy but taking care of my plants helps me to practice gratitude and feel productive, and your videos are a big motivator, so ty!!
Did I cry because this video is just so cute 😭 well maybe
Please make more videos about terrariums ? What kind of plants would survive in those glass bottles or jars ?? They look so beautiful❤
Beautiful plants in your cabinet. I ordered the same one too :)
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!
It's really nice to see a young guy showing such enthusiasm.
It looks really good!
love the magnet idea, beautiful plants!
omg i came from dustin and i’m here to stay this is so cute and calming
This is the best thing to come home to after work!! Yayyyyy☺️😤
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.
i love your videos so much already!!
i love your channel already :D
I love your voice ! And how you organised everything is a pleasure to my eyes thank you ! (Sorry my English it’s to bad )
You, Planterina and Carmen Whitehead are my favorite plant you tubers rn 🙌🏽😩 some plant shopping at nursery’s irl would perform really well!
SAME!!🍃🌱🌿💚
A really love this channel already!! I need moreee lol
Thank you pretty much - this video is very inspiring! 🌿
thank you this is actually so helpful
This was very helpful. Thank you!!!
Your voices so clear and speak calming
That is super cool!! I wish I had all your plants
Hi Benjii, thank you for sharing.
BENJI!!!!!!GO GO GO!!!!!!!!
very helpful 🌿 going to build my cabinet next week
also, such a cute doggo 🥺
Absolutely Fabulous 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 ❤️. THANKS 😊 😀 Benji
Your videos are wonderful!
You have all the best stuff!
First! I’ve been waiting for another video!
Thats a wonderful greenhouse cabinet.
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.
🐟🌿🐟🌿🐟
Please make more videos! I love your videos 😊👍
Benjis plants power
Oh wow I love this idea, mostly so I can actually start to keep plants, which I've mostly been avoiding since so many of them are toxic to cats and one of my cats likes to eat everything
You can adjust the feet to make your handles even. I was confused for a while until I did it.
omgggg! Benjiplant!! I follow you on tiktok!!!
Try staging the plants, arrange side and back shelves according to the hgts. Of the dif plants and the bottom ones are out further than the ones above and so on up like steps, lgt will cover more area.
Hi, from Paris, France, I like your videos, your plants are so beautiful and you have a different way to propagate and raise your plants ! I've seen that you had to move recently, it might have been quite difficult with all your plants and aquarium and stuff !
thanks !
Dave is soooo adorable !
Nice one. It looks good. Keep vlogging and keep safe
Great video
you're my crush already.. so love your plants..
I wish I could do that in my own room too!! 💚
you did an AMAZING job, I hope you read my comment!!
Hi Benji, I was wondering if you can make a video on how to make your moss/pumice pole? Thanks for the great idea in this video. I like the magnetic concept. Going to use it to have more plants on the wall. 👍
Great video! I'd get a shelf myself but I have no space in my room 😢 We have a big yard tho so my dad and I plant veggies and tend to our citrus trees! And my mom and I care for indoor plants and succulents. I recently got a paper spine cactus :) I hope it grows well
also I think i saw in one of your tik toks that you're an environmental studies major? (sorry if I'm wrong) I am too! lol
He is so kind
omg i just got an ikea cabinet too 😳🌿
Your room is a dream
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.
thats smart! i was thinking about doing that, but i think my lights would be too strong to be that close to the top shelf. I also didn’t want to block air flow between shelves
@@benjiplant yes I'm definitely going to put a few succulents up there to test out the lighting first 😁 and I put a fan on each level for the circulation. But we'll see! Good luck to both our cabinets!
Im a fan🥰
😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️love it
👁️ 💚 IT!!! 🌱✌🏻
Came out noce one day i will buy one
Nice💚
Good video 👍
We definetly Need an Update of your Cabinett at your new place @benji !!?
omg wait we have the same rug AND cabinet? vibez 😎
Hey..i love your plant so shiny
I love your room wish to have like that
Im inlove
This is amazing, great video. How do you keep the humidity up in these cabinets? I have tried weather stripping and can't keep it above 35% ( I am located in a dry climate).
Hi Benji,
A new subscriber here! Nice video. Do you have an update video on this IKEA cabinet to show how your plants are doing?
멋진 식물들 잘 봤어요
예뻐요👍🥰🌱🌿
I click SUBSCRIBE 😉 right on your 1st video, hoping to see on your up coming videos if you will discuss your substrates mixtures and if this is efficient to avoid fungus nats and spider mites.
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.
ok i’m a little bit obsessed maybe
I put a pebble tray in mine without weather stripping and I get over 90% humidity consistently.
Maybe you can get short grow strip lights to stick under your magnetic shelves?
My cabinet stays at about the temp and humidity without stripping or fans on, my humidifier in it runs out cold air with the steam! I really struggled with deciding where to place my plants with the three shelfs in but atm i have cacti at the top alocasia in the middle and another set of weaker grow lights at the bottom for Philodendron!
Nice ..inspiring...
I have the same cabinet, what size grow lights did you order? 2 FT? Or 4FT?
hallo, nice garden, do you have any ti[s on lights, I imagine there special lights for the plants.?
3 months on from when the vid was posted. How has the cabinet aged? Is it performing well?
Maybe you could do a light attached under the shelves.
집안이 멋져요
Hi! Looking forward to building my Rudsta indoor greenhouse soon--did you buy a humidifier or anything?
nope, I'm just using the cabinet as is. I'm not using weather stripping either!
Using a pebble pond that you just add water too is a good way to keep humidity as well!
Bro Im only like a 2 months into my plant craze. You seem cool enough and knowledgeable enough to say yes to the question I'm about to ask you. If I paid you let's say 250$ could you be my mentor when it comes to what to do with my new plants or if I get confused?
i wonder how long did u spend a day to take care of the plants..?
Hey Carti’s been looking for you
Can you please link the items you used? I am looking for similar magnets
Why don’t u get smaller grow light strips and add them under the shelves?
Can we get an update on how the greenhouse is doing ?!!!!!
the plants near the bottom will adapt- phototropism baby!! (my bean plant moved THREE FEET to climb up my curtains)
Yasss
🖤🖤🖤
Cute
Wil a woodencabinet do? Planing to just change the wooden cabinet with a glass door
Does anyone know if plants from ikea are actually good quality? for how cheap they are.
Do you think this will stop my plants from dying? :)
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, maybe it's the air being too dry bcoz of heating, or too much airflow. I'm talking about super hot summers and snowy winters.
To fix the light problem place the lights vertically on the left and right edges of the wall instead of the ceiling maybe!
Or place another light with less power under the metal shelves?
The circle thing is called a desk grommet
what light bars do u use?
How much weight can it hold on the top of it?
