I finally found the time to build my IKEA Greenhouse Cabinet! This thing has been sitting in our apartment for the last four months! And since it's currently Winter and extremely dry in the desert, I figured I'd turn this cabinet into a high humidity greenhouse for my carnivorous plants!
Hey, thanks for dropping by! 💛

I just got my very first IKEA milsbo tall today! Planing on keeping alocasias in it since I love them 😅

Absolutely fantastic. A great idea and looks amazing. Thanks for video.

I admire your ability to sit in one spot at length! And your husband is a very supportful man.

Have you thought about rust proofing the edges of the hole you made? I’d be worried about it rusting with the high humidity

@emmasplantz 2 года назад

Great video!! thanks for sharing :)

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

Glad you found my little video! 😊

Hi! Thanks for your video, I've been looking all over for this specific set up. How did you attach the screws to the front part for the front shelf to rest on? My Rudsta has the hole in a corner angle & I'm looking at it, clueless. 😅 I have 2" L brackets. I've got the back figured out, just really struggling with the front support part. 🙄🥴

@jenniferhowley1566 3 года назад

First off love the video! So informative. If you don't mind me asking where did you find your shelves. Can't find the right size...

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found my little video! I got mine from my local hardware. It's the Closetmaid All Purpose shelves. They come in different lengths but the one I got is 12" in width. You can just have it cut to however long you want it! Note that the shelves I got is slightly narrower than the shelves the Milsbo comes with. I wanted to make sure I'd have enough space in the back to accommodate my pegboards, hence why I'm also using L-brackets. 😊

@ArnoldQMudskipper 3 года назад

A well planned & executed project, with a clear video ☺️ Did you consider a heat mat, instead of the space heater?

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

I did but I found that the warm mist on my humidifier was enough to raise the temperature! The space heater is just there in case the temperature drops suddenly! 😊

@davemusicinca 2 года назад

Lovely video and tutorial! I think this will be very close to my setup! Where did you get the wired shelf and what are the sizing for them?

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

Hi! I got them from my local hardware. They're the ClosetMaid SuperSlide shelves. They originally came in white and I just painted them black. They also come in different lengths but the width should be 12". You'll have to measure the glass shelves and cut the wire shelf to the same length. I hope that helps! 😊

@TheDeannasalem 3 года назад

Thank you for your video! Where did you buy your L brackets? If you don’t remember, do you remember the size of them?

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

Hi! I got them from my local hardware and I think they're 2-inch brackets! 😊

@namtiptahom 2 года назад

Good VDO thank you :) Can I ask how you set the timer for humidifier to run automatically 10 minutes every hour I love to do that but find out my one I have to press turn on for the machine make it work?

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

Hi! It only works for knob-type humidifiers. You'll need a smart outlet and you program it to turn on at the start of the hour and turn off after ten minutes. It's a little tedious and you might not be able to do that each hour. My smart outlet only allows 30 actions, and because each hour requires 2 (one to turn on and one to turn off), I can only do that for 15 hours in the day. I hope that helps!

@noahkdc 3 года назад

Hi! I was wondering how you were able to get the top & bottom hole to perfectly align when drilling the holes! I’m super scared to drill the two pieces separately cause I feel like it’s easy to mess up the alignment of the holes! Super scared that the holes won’t be aligned and I can’t fit a grommet... thank you!

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

I basically just eyeballed it! 😅 But the bottom and insert are removable so you can mark them before drilling. Just make sure you leave enough space from the edges!

@digitized_soul 3 года назад

What size shelves did you buy? I’m trying to find shelves that fit similar to the glass shelves for Milsbo.

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

Hi! I bought the Closetmaid All Purpose shelves. They come in different lengths but I got the one that's 12" in width! It will be smaller than the glass shelves that come with the Milsbo but I wanted something narrower to accommodate the pegboard. 😊

@ashlent3814 3 года назад

Where’d you get those clear self watering pots? They’re exactly what I’m looking for!

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

Hi! I got them on Amazon a while back. I can't seem to find it in my order list but I'm sure it should pop up if you search for self-watering pots! They do come in different sizes but the inner pots are pretty small so be sure to check the measurements! 😊

@tyb0b 2 года назад

Did you go with the "white" or "yellow" version of those lights? I hear the white version has a pink hue to it but yours looked pure white.

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

I went with the yellow ones. They do have a warm tinge to them!

@giancarlocueva9103 2 года назад

Hey quick question if I may! How many pegboards did you use in this cabinet? They all look so connected! 3 pegboards?

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

Sure thing! I used two of the 22 x 22 pegboards. It definitely helps placing them behind the shelves! 😊

@lilspod 3 года назад

Have you thought about rust proofing the edges of the hole you made in the bottom? I’m just thinking it could be an issue in the future

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

I actually thought about that! Right now i'm looking into using those plastic table grommets used for organizing cords! I hope it works. I might have to make the hole a little bigger though to fit one of those in! 😊

@BoojiePanda 3 года назад

Can you tell me where you bought the clear self watering pots from, or what the brand is so I can search for them? Would have loved an itemized list things by brand in the info dropdown.

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

Hi! I got these from Amazon! I can't seem to find them on my order list since I got them a while back but a similar one should pop up if you search for self-watering pots! I have all the items listed in the video itself but I didn't think to include the pots since they had nothing to do with the IKEA greenhouse! 😅😊

@kfsongbird 3 года назад

what size wire shelves did you buy? I prefer that look to the glass

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

They come in different lengths but you should be fine as long as you get one that's 12" in width. The length would depend on your cabinet and L brackets you're using. Your local hardware should be able to cut them to whatever length you need! 😊

@junpranolo2805 2 года назад

What do you use to make hole so that you can run the cable/wire? I don't think I have this tool to make hole 😅 for this

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

Hi! You'll need a hole saw drill bit that you can attach to a drill! 😊

@VeronicaMoguel 2 года назад

Hey babe! Where’d you get the longer cable connectors for your grow lights?

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

Hi, there! I got mine from the actual Barrina site! 😊

@asyouaskforit 3 года назад

Hi, your wire shelves seem to fit perfectly without cutting. What shelves are these and what is the width?

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

Hi! I used Closetmaid shelves. They come in different lengths but the width I got is 12". There is some space in the back to accommodate the pegboards. I did have mine cut at my local hardware. 😊

@@ealston0826 I don't remember specifically but they're just as long as the glass shelves the cabinet came with! You can always measure those! 😊

Can I asked what size or name of the screw you use for pegboard? I have a hard time finding the screw to fit in.

Hello I would like to know from Where do I get wire shelving?

@asyouaskforit 3 года назад

May I ask what lights you wanted to switch out to and why?

@FoxxandFlora 3 года назад

I completely missed this comment! I didn't have specific ones in mind but I wanted to switch to stronger ones 'cause my Venus Fly Traps and American Pitcher Plants are showing signs of not getting enough light! 😊 They tend to thrive in full sun or partial sun and under the lights I have, they're getting a little too leggy.

@mwoods4608 Год назад

where did you find the wire shelves?

There are already predrilled holes! I didn't have to make new ones. 😊

@mommychic971 2 года назад

What is your temperature inside the cabinet?humidity and heat?

@FoxxandFlora 2 года назад

The temperature normally hovers around 83-85°F in the day time and drops to around 75-80°F at night, and I like to keep my humidity at around 80-85%! Note that if you do this and have strong lights in the cabinet, you need good air circulation and you'll probably get a bit of algae! 😊

Not really 'cause all the items were bought at my local hardware. They're itemized in the video though and should easily come up when you search for them!
