In this group we're free to share tips and ideas for growing plants in glass cabinets, or just post pictures of our setups and the plants we grow in them.
I assembled my IKEA Rudsta cabinet over the weekend and just added some plant babies đ Iâm so excited to see how my plants take to the greenhouse life! Going to be a fun experiment â and an excuse to buy more plants :)
đž Photo description: âA greenhouse cabinet semi full of plants! This is a black IKEA Rudsta glass cabinet. I added weather stripping, fans, grow lights, a hygrometer and a humidifier. This cabinet is currently home to 3 carnivorous pitcher plants, a begonia rex âkotobukiâ, a variegated philodendron domesticum, a philodendron pink princess, a philodendron Florida ghost, a single leaf Hoya kerrii, an alocasia frydek, creeping fig, a variegated string of hearts and a pilea baby tears.â

Does anyone have a Klingsbo cabinet? I need to utilize the vertical space and I have no clue whatâs good and whatâs not?

Just wanted to ask anyone with the Milsbo tall about your shelving. I think Iâm going to have to pull the entire thing apart and reorganize the layout bc valuable real estate is being missed. And I want to upper level to get much more humidity than it currently is. Anyone with pics of their empty set up?

Can anyone recommend their favorite (inexpensive, Iâm poor) small humidifier? I have the Baggebo IKEA cabinet. Itâs not very big, only 4ft x 13in wide, so Iâm working with very limited roomđ!
I had the one in the picture and it worked super, super well until I cleaned it and now it isnât working at all đ„Č

Hey y'all! Iâm wondering what everyone does to prevent pests in their cabinets. Itâs such a confined, humid space that if you have a pest outbreak in there, itâs gonna be catastrophic

Hello everyone! This is my antique plant cabinet that I set up about month ago. Absolutely loving it and I think the plants are too. Only thing I'm noticing is the humidity doesn't get above 60. I keep the fan running 24/7 to avoid fungal issues. Any tips for increasing the humidity? Thank you in advance! đ„°

I got this fish tank out of my grandma's basement after she past 30+ years ago and I've never done anything with it (I just loved it) so I was think it might make a great terrarium? What do you all think and what should I put in it. Thanks

I have a greenhouse cabinet that my monstera is too big for. Sheâs doing fine but added humidity would really kick start her growth! Iâm wondering if anyone has any tricks or DIY hacks for a humidity box or something to help keep humidity high for her!

How does everyone battle powdery mildew and mold issues in their cabinets? My humidity is above 90 and I canât seem to get rid of these two!! I have tried hydrogen peroxide treatments, and grow safe. Nothing works!! Help!

I got this cabinet for Christmas and Iâm debating if I should keep this or get a larger one. Iâm unsure if itâll fit all the necessary equipment needed to be able to function as a greenhouse. If anyone has had success with this cabinet, or a similar one please let me know tips on how you made it work! :)

Greenhouse losing humidity
I have one of the IKEA cabinets that Iâm using as a greenhouse. Iâve had it for months and the humidity inside has always been about 90% without a humidifier nor any kind of sealant. A few weeks ago, I added some small fans to create more air circulation. I noticed a decrease in the humidity but figured it was because of the air flow. So then I turned the fans off and the humidity still did not increase.
Is it possible that there is less humidity because the weather is getting colder outside? Iâm in Chicago so weâre averaging about 40 degrees this time of year, but obviously the heat is on in my house. Now, Iâve started using a humidifier in the cabinet but it still hovers around only 60% and the inside gets way too wet.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?

Getting my babies ready for bed this winter. Still have a few that are on my back porch to add when the temperature drops, but thatâs not really a big problem here in Alabama. I love my little greenhouse, truly is my happy place.â€ïž
