# This is my pride and joy. Not is it almost every favorite plant I…

This is my pride and joy. Not is it almost every favorite plant I own. But the project in making this IKEA grow cabinet was one of the most challenging projects I’ve taken on. Fully automated lighting, circulation, and humidity controlled by smart thermometers/power strips. Lights start the day on the left and end on the right to simulate the sun’s movement.

I’ve started each one of these from a baby and each plant inside has been thriving since entry. I find myself pulling up a seat and just staring at this cabinet more than I even watch tv. So fun finding new growth each day on all these plants.

It looks great. I’ve avoided buying one of these because of the drilling into metal part. I just got comfortable drilling holes in my own pots. Not ready for that yet! Your potting mix looks fun too! What plant is that in the clear glass pot? I’ve seen it before but can’t remember what it is. Pretty! Enjoy your work!

Thank you!  
I have two clear glass pots there’s the plumosa fern and the Labisia turtle back.

The drilling wasn’t too bad, I did have to learn not to press hard and just let it slowly grind through or it would jerk my arm. I joined a Facebook group and got a ton of great tips and support there. My problem was I bought stuff and then read in the group it was wrong so I bought and returned every item at least once 😂.

The soil is PON btw, when you have a ton of plants it’s really nice because it has a reservoir of water at the bottom so you only water every 2 weeks or so.

Yes the turtle one! I love it. At least you can find good tips on how to set up your cabinet. That makes it a bit less intimidating.

It’s one of my favorites! Pushed me to be better with my plants, it’s very needy.

I’ve been dreaming of making one of these for a few months. The other day I was thinking about setting up the light rotation to mimic the sun. So cool that you added that feature!

lol I have absolutely no idea if it helps but I felt like it could be beneficial, I’ve heard some studies have said it is.

#### Claire5904님이 2023-12-28에 답변했습니다.

It seems like a great idea. It should keep the growth super even.

Yes!
