I've made plenty of IKEA projects before, and we thought it was time for another. Well, actually, it was my wife's idea. A few months back, I had to get glass for an aquarium when she said, "Can you make a display case vivarium like the one from before? I want something cool for the living room."
I’ve been sitting on this Milsbo Case ever since and haven’t had the time to make it until now. It turned out really well and is probably one of my favorites yet because of how simple it was to produce. I can’t wait to see how this jungle establishes and takes on a life of its own.
Can’t get enough? Here are some more IKEA projects:

Another IKEA project in the books! I’m really pleased with how this one turned out and can’t wait to see how this jungle establishes and takes on a life of its own. I probably like the Cebu Blue Pothos the most. What’s your favorite plant from this build? Let me know, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

@shontellepetersen4445 Месяц назад

I miss read that first sentence and thought you were releasing your own book. Maybe one day you will do one :)

@marikah6198 Месяц назад

Cool project as always. Not glueing the PVC pipe is an eye opening idea! Not using foam is great, too! I like the simplicity. Your wife is lucky to have you. 😊

@sghettinona Месяц назад

Bravo!!

@thefullstop23 Месяц назад

Whats the name of the plant at 07:33, Mr Tanner? Great build! edit : Fittonia “Red Anne”. I got it. 😊

@ialrakis5173 Месяц назад

Great build but now I'm surprised and confused. That Fittonia looks exactly like plants I have in my aquarium. Found some posts saying it's possible. Do you have any experience with that?

The cutting off the ikea allen key to become a drill bit was genius

@antonfeirer3408 Месяц назад

I was like "omg I never thought of this" :o

@juliejames6322 Месяц назад

His is the first gift of this I video. I love this tip SO much, because I hate the way those tiny weak tools rip up my tender hands.

@allusernamestakenlol Месяц назад

Tanner is a legitimate genius

@socalstr Месяц назад

It’s clever! However, this soft allen key will fail rather quickly as a drill bit. You’re gonna want to get a legit $2 drill bit at Home Depot to resolve this requirement longer term.

I do this for my job .

@curvingfyre6810 Месяц назад

Your wife asked for MORE plants, in MORE naturalistic enclosures, in YOUR house? She's a keeper. A plant keeper that is. She also sounds awesome.

@sparrowsfish Месяц назад

Love that this was for your wife. Also, we got a sneak at her plant room. Would love a tour if she wouldn't mind.

I'm in love with the cork background, the texture is so appealing but it doesn't subtract or distract from the plants, so pretty!!

@happylittleacident Месяц назад

your wife mentioned it gave her ideas for her own projects, would you guys be willing to make something together one day for a video or a video of your wife making something. i understand if she doesnt want to be on camera more so just seein one of her creations. its lovely that she likes plants as much as you do, i loved this video :)

@zombei_kid Месяц назад

In their wedding video, they made a terrarium together. It was quite sweet lol But yes, I'd love to see more of her if she feels comfortable with it.

@StephenOliver001 Месяц назад

As someone with absolutely no creativity, it's simply amazing to watch you create these scapes. Every decision you make just blows me away at how damn good it looks!

@Napalm_Candy 4 дня назад

I promise you that you have creativity. It's just hiding due to life stresses/worries that you likely feel you don't, or that you've "lost" it. It may also be something less than conventional. Try and find your inner voice and creatively express yourself in a way that comes natural to you. I have a friend who used to feel just like you, then he realized he loves writing poetry, and he's so good at it!

@emilyb4702 Месяц назад

Good hubby! 😊 It's reminiscent of Nebuchadnezzar making the hanging gardens for his bride who was quite literally pining for green things. But on a scale that fits in a house. Beautiful.

@braria9855 26 дней назад

Unromantic fun fact, it may not have been Nebuchadnezzar but Sennacherib who made the hanging gardens of Babylon since some people (without maps, based on rivers) also called Ninive "Babylon". There's lots of compelling evidence for this to be true (such as Sennacherib claiming to have created something similar and simultaneously there being no records for Nebuchadnezzar for these gardens despite there being good records for most of his other achievements) , but due to conflicts we can't actually get archeologists to try digging around to find out. Do check out Stephanie Dalley and others if you're curious. I just wrote a thesis about green roofs and found some of this info during a side quest so I'm no expert. Another random fun fact, apparently the Archimedes' screw was already used there - so before he "invented" it. :D

@emilyb4702 25 дней назад

@@braria9855 I would love to time travel and see how history actually happened and what it looked like! And magically understand the language and blend in with the locals while we're at it. It's good to have a passion for history.

One thing I’m slowly learning about your wife is that she’s always right. Pea puffer fish? Cookie? This terrarium? All 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

@blu_cap Месяц назад

I love it ❤ I am trying something similar on a smaller scale using the Ackarbar mini greenhouse from IKEA. But this has mich more vertical space for the plants to grow 🪴

@julierobertson148 Месяц назад

Great idea, especially since its so tropical plant friendly and upkeep reducing.

@rhoseiravenclaw5394 Месяц назад

Love this video, thank you both for sharing this build! Wonderful work on that background, so useful to see a more simple style as a background (especially as it will probably be covered up with plants in no time, much more cut and paste for beginners than foam etc which for newbies really seems to be more daunting.

@SJLamb-te3dt 24 дня назад

This would be right up my alley had your wife requested orchids, orchids, and more orchids.

love it!! I did something similar with a different ikea cabinet based on what I learned from you! It's been about 6 months and its doing amazing! my pothos leaves grew to about double the size lol

Hey serpa can you try to make a prehistoric palidarium or something like and amphibians reptile in a jungle or a triops river bioms please 😊

@SKALS-ICY-TOM Месяц назад

Very nice and simple project... I was just looking at a Ikea cabinet like this the other day thinking it would make for a nice project in my new apartment.... I will definitely copy the setup of using the shelves like this to get multiple heights, maybe combined with a mosspole in the middle for rooting some plants even higher

Keep up rhe good work man. We all love you❤

@paeve362 Месяц назад

I just made one of these for all my rare syngonium species. Instead of cork bark I covered the back wall with sphagnum moss and mounted live moss against it. Basically a sphagnum moss pole built into the back of the cabinet. I didn't include a substrate layer and opted to keep the plants in pots instead. I plumbed in a humidifier so it stays at 90% rh all day long, as I didn't seal it at all. This allows for more air cycling which is (subjectively) better for hard to grow plants. I take so much inspiration from your projects and this one is no different. Great work, I may do one of these soon for some exotic isopods in the future. (quick note, the pothos is not a cebu blue, but an epipremnum pinnatum albo. Same family as the cebu blue, but the green is darker and they take longer to fenestrate) regardless, love this one! the leaves get BIG FAST, mine are already a foot in length.

So elegant and simple! I would've liked to see a red plant or two higher up to balance it out, and I'm excited to see how it grows. Hoping you'll do an update on it in a few months!
