Hi guys, I am ordering this soon and wondering what else I will need? I’ve never had a greenhouse before but it be housing alocasias and calatheas (our house gets REALLYYY dry in the winter due to a wood stove)

I recommend grow lights and a fan. I also have a Kasa smart power strip so I can control when the grow lights turn on/off and adjust it throughout the year

Should I put pebble trays or a small humidifier in there as well? Or will the plants themselves create enough humidity?

#### send\_nodes replied on 2024-08-18

It’ll probably hold enough humidity with just the plants. I don’t have a humidifier or anything and the humidity in my cabinet is 70-80%. I recommend getting a hydrometer so you can keep an eye on the humidity. You could add pebble trays if the humidity ends up needing a boost

We have one of those in my house an you should know tha there are large gaps around the door that flips up o some humpty is likely to escape!

I agree with this! I got foam weatherstripping for the gaps. Hobby Pilled also makes clear acrylic accessories like pegboard \& shelving.
