Thank you for explaining exactly how you put the cabinet together and added your accessories.
"I'm going to feel so bad for the plants that I DON'T put in here-" 😂🥺
That was me with my grow tent. I'm so glad it isn't just me!
😂 but it’s so true!
Thank you for explaining in detail the whole thing with the washers and screws for attaching the pegboard! Other videos just mention the use of "some washers and a longer screw" in passing and I couldn't understand what they were referring to. Love your plant space, by the way 💚
Yours is by far the best tutorial on setting this cabinet up I've seen to date. Esp. the bit about the peg board install. Thank you!
I would love an update on how the peg boards held up!
Best video for setting up plants in a glass cabinet that I need right now ❤️ looks so cool 💯 u r demonstrating so well 🎉 subscribed 🥰
Your Milsbo cabinet looks great. The white definitely looks better in the room. The plants make it look really pretty and I love the red and green foliage contrast with the white…stunning 👌. I’ve definitely got cabinet envy 😍. Taking your time with it to get it just right has paid off. Looking forward to see how it changes over time.
Thanks Graham! I am falling in love with my plants again 😆
Love your plant cabinet and you looked like you knew what you were doing putting the cabinet together,great job.
Beste Anleitung, auch ohne die englische Sprache zu beherrschen. Milsbo Greenhouse ist schon lange mein Traum.Dafür sammle ich gerade so viele Anregungen und Tipps, wie möglich. Dabei ist dieses Video super hilfreich für mich. Vielen lieben Dank!👍
Great job putting the cabinet together. I love all the white in your house. You're plants look so expensive in the cabinet. Good job Ron ! 🪴
Thanks Margie! 😊
had a bad day today, but watching this inspired a lot of joy. thank you ~
I LOVE how organized and particular you are! Great video, I love your setup ♥️
SUCH a good video!!! So useful to actually see someone set it up, thanks for this! ❤
Hi Ron, great video, very informative, I appreciate the details you put into this episode. I am planning to get one in the near future😊. I did not see that you add a humidifier in the Milsbo but the humidity level inside is good. Wishing all your plants to stay healthy and happy. Congratulations to you. Happy Planting💚
Yup I don’t think I will need a humidifier. And that’s even before watering day! The lights produce a good amount of heat as well, so hopefully things stay pretty consistent. Thank you!! ☺️
@@SuchPlants 💚
Hello from Puerto Rico!!! Got my Milsbo and got some ideas for the accessories!! Thanks!!! 🪴🌿🌱🙋🏼♀️
THANK YOU for this. I’ve been trying to figure out how everyone gets theirs setup. You are incredible!
love it! and I love your style of videos- thank you I just put a very small fountain pump (5$) off amazon in a glass jar with rocks on the bottom and filled it with water-keeps the humidity high and doesn't take up a lot of room
I just got mine for christmas, thanks to you my hubby is having an error crees set up. Thank you!! And happy holidays ❤️😊
I was at IKEA yesterday & got my first look at a milsbo. I have to get one! In both sizes.
Yessss I want the wide version now too! 😆
Wow, you did an amazing job, Ron! Thank you for recording a thorough Vlog; it will be helpful info when I decide to get it.
I don't know how you popped up on my feed but extremely grateful that it happened. Just makes my want for the same ikea cabinet much more plausible.
Thank you. ❤ 🌱❤🌱❤ SUBSCRIBED
Also you are much more calm than I know I'd be.
Haha thank you! 😆
You know what you should do to increase humidity? Humidifier. Get a small one and put it at the bottom of your cabinet. I only have thought about it now. I dont have this cabinet, yet. Soon will be my next project but yeah get a humidifier that matches your cabinet. Youre welcome. 😍
Great video. You really inspired me to get one of those cabinets/greenhouses.
Smart to do the doors last!! They were constantly getting in my way
I never thought about that lol but I can see why!
You have just gained a new subscriber! Excellent How-To video with demonstrations on every step of the way. I would enjoy seeing Howell your plants are doing and if you removed some because they began doing better and moved some new ones in. Happy Growing 🌸🐝
Your video guided me through setting up the Milsbo cabinet. I ended up having 3M Command sticky pads on the pegboards as some spacers against the back glass panels. I have them at the corners of the pegboards so that the pegboards hold the position.
However, I drilled the cable hole on the door side as a mistake. I would suggest people make sure they are drilling on the expected side of the cabinet :)
Hey Ron, my IKEA pegboard starts growing mold. Do you have this issue and how do you treat it?
Hmm, the only type of mold I experienced was when I treated plants with mosquito bits. I added the mosquito bits granules on top of the soil of some plants and green mold started to appear on the pegboard and some wooden stakes. I had to disassemble the pegboards and hose them down. I stopped used the granules and only use mosquito bit tea now and the mold never came back. My humidity ranges from 70-85%. What is your fan setup and humidity like? What does the mold look like? You might need more air circulation.
@@SuchPlants My humidity is avg at 85% I and highest to 90%. I have a humidifier close to the left-bottom corner of the bottom pegboard and most of the mold gathers over there. So humidity / moisture is the factor.
The mold is looking black and not sure what type or cause it is.
The fan is facing towards the plants instead of the pegboard. I might try face it toward the pegboard.
Yes try facing it towards the pegboard. However, if you seal the doors sufficiently, you might not even need a humidifier in there! I don’t have in mine and the lowest humidity is usually around 60-70% when it’s about time to water the plants again, and then the humidity goes back up to around 80-85%. Everyone’s conditions are unique, so it will take some trial and error. Hope you find the sweet spot!
I watch these vidoes as if I will ever have the tim eto set this up LOL. thanks for making these, gives me hope even if I never get to it
Probably the best video set up I've seen on UA-cam! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!!! I'm so going to follow this set up! :D
Thank you! ☺️ So excited for you!
This was super helpful. Thanks for responding to me in IG. I didn't pay attention to the fact you had a video out that gave me all the answers. Thanks again.
Glad I could help! 😁
thanks for the video! loved it. I'm researching a few ikea cabinet options and milsbo is a possiblity. The adjustable height shelves is a must. I've just started the world of terrariums and i think having a greenhouse shelf would be great for keeping humidity levels in check. and it looks pretty. How is the greenhouse looking now? Do you have an update for us? :)
im just starting my interest in terrariums as well and a greenhouse cabinet!! goodluck!

Really great video. favorite so far for how to set up an Ikea greenhouse cabinet. Thank you
Your explanation and tutorial is definitely the best I've seen. Would you happen to know the diameter of the drill bit that you used? I'm planning to follow your tutorial and order a few things from your list and want to make sure I get an adequately sized bit. :)
I used 1.5” drill bit for the hole, but the rubber grommets are hard to find in 1.5” so I recommend going for 2” drill bit instead, or whatever grommet size is easy to find!
@@SuchPlants Thank you so much!
Love your video, your cabinet and accessories and how calmly you instructed us! It looks gorgeous! Question: do you keep your room at those temps and humidity levels all the time? I'd like to start trying some plants but I generally keep my place at about 62 to 65 F. Yikes.Any Arctic plants you know about? :)
Actually I keep my house at about 70°F, but there are several factors affecting the exact temp and humidity in my plant room: it’s up on the second floor, the window is south facing, door is kept closed at all times, grow lights, etc. Generally, I keep the same temp and humidity all year round. They seem to like it at about 75°F with the help of the south facing window and grow lights 😄
Thanks for the explaining the intricacies of (anything) Ikea! New subbie. I have a question about your shelf unit in front of the windows: any chance you can share the brand/webiste for it?
IKEA VITTSJÖ shelves! 😄
Thanks for sharing this video
Very helpful tutorial video
Nice job. I hope to get one soon and will use your video to help me put it together 🤞
Thanks for the video and the attention to detail.
Thx! Love it! I just snagged one finally this last week. Gonna put together today😊
Congrats! Have fun!! 😆 I recently removed the top weatherstripping because it maintained ~90% humidity even without a humidifier and mold developed on the pegboard. If you find it holds onto higher than 80% humidity, try to maximize your air circulation. Otherwise, take some of the weatherstripping off. Just some additional tips after operating it for a while. I’m planning on doing an update video soon. 😊
I loved watching your post. 🥰 Thank you for being detailed with the process. I'm going to look for your updates now. 🔍 Plant love 🪴
Came across this...great tutorial! So, given this video was about a year ago, how is it holding up? Do you see any rust or other issues from using this as a greenhouse? I'm wanting to make something similar, and I wondered about the durability. Thanks!
Good job 👍🏻
Okay, this video is super helpful! Thank you for sharing and being specific in the details. Now it seems more doable 🫶🏼
I'm putting mine together now and I'm about to make the hole. Most people put it at the front, but you went to the back. How did the power cables go behind the glass shelf?
This looks very cool, love your setup.
love this! do you mind sharing where you got the open white shelves shown @ 20:40?
Yes they are actually 3 pieces from the IKEA VITTSJÖ shelf system. They come in a variety of configurations.
This is so far the best video I found on youtube on how to setup the Milsbo greenhouse cabinet. You did great and explained everything. And you inspired me to get my first cabinet 😁. Can you please tell what size hole you drilled at the bottom? Thank you!!
Thank you! The hole was about 1.5” diameter, which is an uncommon size for the rubber grommets. I made the hole before I realized that so I had a hard time finding the correct grommet size. I think you can find 2” grommets more easily so my advice would be to go with a 2” hole 😅
@@SuchPlants Thank you, Ron. I found the 2" hole saw at Lowe's and ordered the grommets from Amazon. Any reason why you choose T8 lights instead of T5?
Based on the reviews, it seems the T5 gave off a slightly pink light, which I’m not a fan of so I went with the T8, which is a slightly warm light.
I have a problem with the temperature. I reach too high temperatures (33/34 ° C) and I can't get off. Do you have any advice?
So informative in setting up ikea milsbo. It gives me interest to have one cabinet.
My question what size is your pegboard, and it is from ikea as well right?
Yes it is an IKEA pegboard 22”x22” 😁
love love love! by any chance, what is the size of the peg board you purchased?? thank you for the most in depth tutorial!
I went with the 22”x22” pegboard
WOW! what more to say
I thought a draft was not a good thing. I'd turn the fan towards the wall, air will still move but no draft directly on plants. Hope that helps.
I think when we say draft we mean a cold draft coming from windows and doors. An indoor fan shouldn’t be an issue since it’s just blowing room temperature air, which is good air circulation. 😊
I love the shelving unit you have by the window....where you did you get it? Great video! Thank you for sharing :)
They are IKEA VITTSJÖ shelves 😊
The pegboard you got from IKEA is it the 22x22 size?
Nice! Love it 🤍💚
If you used a humidifier, would the glass shelves block humidity to the top half?
Yup, but if you have a fan it should help distribute through the several gaps. For the best distribution, people have been using wire racks in place of the glass. There are Etsy sellers that offer wire racks cut to size. 😊
Great video! Love the details. I got my first tall white Milsbo today and your instructions are the best, did you find a white fan?
Thanks for watching! I haven’t gone looking for a white fan yet 😂. I’ll live with the black one until it dies! It actually provides a good amount of air circulation on the low setting.
Hi! I know this video was a minute ago. I’m wondering how your cactus and devils backbone is doing in your cabinet. I wanted to put mine in my cabinet but worried it would be too much humidity.
Hi! I have since moved them out of my cabinet. I think I only had them in there for a few months because they started to grow like crazy! They actually liked the humidity.
Beautiful
How did the double sided tape do when holding your the lights?
Lights are still holding. It is partly due to the snug fit of the lights with the cords being wedged in the sides against the glass.
Great video! How did you wire the top two lights ? Is the cord coming out from the top ?
All four lights are connected to each other and there is one plug that goes through the hole in the bottom of the cabinet.
素敵✨💖
What is the purpose of the weather proofing?
The cabinet can still become dry since the humidity can escape through the gaps between the doors, especially if there is a fan inside. Weather proofing covers the gaps so the humidity cannot escape.
Wow that was work … but gorgeous
Did the sticky tape keep the lights up
Yes! I ended up taking out 2 of the 4 lights a few weeks ago to put them in my other Milsbo and let me tell you….. I spent like 45 minutes prying them off! The tape did not want to come off lol.
How do you keep it warm???
The lights in my setup give off some heat which is enough to keep them from getting too cold.
Has anyone tried other cabinet types? I don't have an Ikea near me and they want a lot to deliver.
Are the suction cup hangy things strong enough to support it with the shelves &plants on them? I'd hate for one of my plants to fall especially on top of other plants? That's scary to me is it really secure enough??
So funny how you mentioned the suction hook because it fell off a few days ago. So it worked for that long.
@@SuchPlants oh wow! So maybe I'd just check it every few months to make sure it stays 'suction-ed' on well! & pray for the best😅
Also I was wanting a general idea of size and seeing you stand by it helped a lot so thank you! (Just seeing number measurements doesn't work well in my brain if you get what I mean haha I suck with words)
I have a couple wides but am getting a tall now so that's exciting! 🤞🏼 thanks so much for responding!
Your finished result is awesome! Your plant room rocks! Love it.
Did the pegboards rot over time?
They held up pretty well, considering I added a couple coats of waterproof sealant. If it is consistently about 60% humidity or lower, you should be okay. Anything higher than that might result in the pegboard warping and rotting. Mine warped at first, and then I removed some weatherproofing strips to reduce the humidity a bit.
Super ! 👍👍:)
This video was so helpful, so I just ordered all of the stuff I need for my tall milsbo. I actually have 2 tall milsbo cabinets in boxes ready to be set up, but I decided I’d start with one and see how it goes:) I am so excited!!! I had been putting off ordering all of the small stuff because it seemed overwhelming but after watching you set yours up, I feel much less stressed out about everything. I wanted to add that my monstera albo also just started to yellow (one leaf out of 4), and my gut told me to take it out of the pot and check the roots, and it was root rot. I feel like you may be dealing with root rot as well. I hope I’m wrong!!! Will you post an update on how all of your plants are doing in the greenhouse cabinet conditions, and how your albo is doing? Also, I am curious, did you end up needing/leaving 2 lights per shelf or was it too much light? I think I have the same lights as you do. Mine are the monios-l t8’s and I have been trying to decide if I want to try 1 light per shelf or if I should put 2. Thanks so much! -Nora
Hi! Yes I want to do a Milsbo update soon! I actually haven’t taken out my albo from its pot so I’m not sure if it was root rot, but I did drench it in hydrogen peroxide and started using liquid fertilizer and it is finally giving me new growth. It may have been root rot, or it may have been needing fertilizer. About the lights… I also felt like 2 lights per shelf was too much, but the plants seem to like it so far. No burning, although the second shelf gets warm from the lights being mounted directly beneath it. I’ve seen people stack 2 glass panels for the second shelf to help with supporting more weight, but it could help to insulate some of that heat. I am so excited for you! You are going to love it. I ended up removing some of the weatherstripping because it held on to too much humidity at ~80-90%. Now it is around 60%. Enjoy! ☺️
@@SuchPlants hi and thanks so much for taking the time to respond. The double glass idea is so smart! I did buy wire racks because I saw a lot of videos where the glass shelving blocked the air and humidity to the point where it was almost as if there were 2 or 3 completely isolated “chambers” for lack of a better word, but doubling the glass makes a lot of sense! I would love to see an update on your Milsbo!You’re so lucky you didn’t end up having to deal with root rot! I am so nervous that I could lose my albo!! I did everything that my research has suggested and as of right now, I still have some healthy roots and 3 gorgeous leaves. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it regrows a nice healthy root system!! I ended up taking my albo out of my aroid mix, and putting it into a clear soft pot with moss and perlite. I have an albo wet stick that I have had a lot of success so far with, and it came to me (and has stayed) in moss, so I felt that it was my best bet for trying to recover some healthy roots! I have everything ordered for my greenhouse cabinet now except for some type of fountain or humidifier. It’s the last decision I have left to make lol. I was shocked at how many choices there were for all of the little extras, but I did end up going with the same weatherstripping you used. Knowing that your plants are happy with 2 monios t8 lights per shelf is super helpful also! I think I’ll be using 1 per shelf to start, but now I won’t be worried that the light will be too strong that the leaves could burn. That was a major concern I had been having. Did you have a hard time drilling the hole for your cable management? I am not sure which side I’m going to end up needing the hole to be on so I think I am going to drill one on each side of the bottom back corners. I haven’t yet seen a video where the hole has been drilled out in real time, so I honestly don’t know what to expect lol- is it going to take 10 minutes or 30? My husband is going to help me assemble my cabinets tomorrow and I am super excited! I am subscribed to your channel so I’ll definitely have to keep an eye out for a milsbo update! Thank you again for all of the helpful tips! Have a great weekend! -Nora
Oh- which weatherstripping did you end up removing? I feel like I’m definitely going to minimally need to seal the gap between the doors in the front.
Drilling the hole wasn’t too bad. The drill bit will drill through in less than a minute but it depends on the amount of pressure you apply. More pressure = faster, but also beware when the drill bit starts to “bite” through because it can snag and your wrist might jerk from the drill. The weatherstripping that I ended up leaving on were the vertical one in the middle and the horizontal one at the top. I have no humidifier and it stays nicely at ~60-70% on average. Of course it might be different with your environment, but I you can experiment what works best! ☺️
@@SuchPlants perfect! Thank you so much!
Hey! Have you had any problems with mould on the Skadis pegboard since it is made of fiberboard/wood? I've heard a few others had
Hi! I haven’t had a problem at first, but I did start seeing mold appear when I started to use mosquito bits. I sprinkled some of the bits on the soil of some plants, and then mold started to appear on all wooden material (pegboard, stakes, etc). In the past, I’ve experienced mold when using the granules instead of the tea. After I wiped off the mold, I switched to mosquito bit tea, which lessened the problem but didn’t really eliminate it. Other than that, I haven’t really seen any other mold issues. I believe air circulation has a lot to do with preventing other types of mold.
@@SuchPlants Thanks for the reply! Oh so mosquito bits did that. Good to kow. Yeah air circulation is definitely key. How high is your humidity in there on average? I might aim for 75-85 so buying a pegboard feels a bit risky although it would really help to have one.
Mine keeps at around 60-80. I should also mention that I did coat the pegboards with polyurethane after the mold incident!
