I just bought and painted this old cabinet black. It has built in lights, perfect for growing plants in it! 😄 What smaller plants do you think would look good in it?

Love love the cabinet 😍 Hm.. maybe an Echeveria?

### Amanda C. commented on 2023-02-11

Great find. How about some Peperomia?

#### Elin replied on 2023-02-13

That would be cool. There are so many amazing Peperomia species out there 🤩

#### Anton replied on 2023-02-13

Oh yes, it was a while since I had some peperomias. They’re so nice. Now I have to take a look at what species and varieties are available in my local area 😊

A small Scindapsus treubii moonlight would pop!

#### Anton replied on 2023-02-13

Yes agree, there are so many nice Scindapsus among collectors now. Perfect for lower light too 👍

I don’t know but I love whatever is hanging near your ceiling in the first pic! 😍

#### Anton replied on 2023-02-13

Oh thank you! It’s a large Nepenthes that doesn’t have any pitchers this time of year. I can really recommend it even the pitchers dry in low humidity

I like inch plants and nerve plants but I don’t know if they will like it in there. Lol!
