I got this little greenhouse from ikea & weather stripped the bottom and put in some grow lights. It still has gaps where the front opens so Iām trying to think of plants to put in it that donāt need high humidity but they still like humidity and donāt grow as fast so they can stay in there longer. If you have any suggestions let me know!
Maybe Alocasia? They like humidity but donāt need 100%
0 gillningarCalathea! Mine super droops and has no growth if I donāt have it in at least 50- 60% humidity. I recently had to find a solution for my humidity loving plants that didnāt require humidifiers (mold issues). We bought fish tanks and had acrylic lids custom made. I thought Iād have to constantly add water to my rock trays and keep the lids tightly closed to reach that humidity. I quickly found out thatās not necessary! lol so if yours has gaps thatās totally ok! If I completely close up the top of my tanks the humidity reaches 90% lol I have to leave the tops angled to keep the humidity down.

U can see at the top how much I have to have the lid off center so the humidity doesnāt get too high. Also! When I started this project other people helped me out by letting me know Iād need a computer fan in there. I didnāt understand why at first. Any other fan will be too high powered and not good for the leaves. We got a couple of them off Amazon for like 20 bucks a piece. Also super helpful to have a hygrometer in it. For this long tank u can see I have one placed at each end.

Had to show off my other one too! š¬ lol
0 gillningarSorry for all the posts lol Iām just super excited about my humidity tanks and happy to share about them. I keep thinking on your question of what plants r good for in there. Rex begonia almost died till I put it in a tank and now itās flourishing. What the first person said- alocasia. polka dot plant. My propagations. All of my younger philos. Of course eventually those will need moved out.
