My first plant shelf! I’m not sure if my placement of my plants is optimal, but I’m happy with it for now.

I just ordered this shelf! I love it so far.

I like it too. My only complaint or concern is that for plants in smaller pots, like my jade plant, are kind of shaky or wobbly. A small philodendron I had was placed on it and accidentally toppled over and its pot broke. Luckily it was okay though and I repotted it in a plastic pot of the same size.

Oh definitely- I had to use coasters under some of mine. I just have to be extra careful when I take them out to water them 😆

Yeah, I’m going to have to get a few trays soon. Maybe the next garden center trip.

are you using wireless grow lights ?

#### BooksandPlants replied on 2026-06-09

They’re wired. The controller is towards the back of the setup and then the wire goes along the ground out toward an outlet.
