It is not a jail. It a survival unit. 😂😂😂💗

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

It’s a THRIVING UNIT ✊

[@duckygin]

THIS. do you know how much of a tantrum my waroc would trow if she wasn’t caged in a glassy home???! 😂😂😭😭

[@lionesslio]

Your mini ikea greenhouse video made me built one of my own back in march and despite it not being as extra as yours, my plants are just thriving in it and have recently moved them out due to their size and replaced them with new ones. Bonus: for the first time ever i have been keeping a mimosa pudica alive for months and it looks sooooo good, all new leaves, has gotten bigger, this literally never happened before. Thank you for the inspo! ❤

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

This makes me incredibly happy to hear ❤. Like a proud distant aunt to your plants 😂. Thanks for sharing this update! It really makes me happy to hear how others adapt and make things their own

[@penelopelavender248]

“ just don’t build one” 😂 Hilarious !

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Like who forced this lady to make a greenhouse she didn’t want?

[@penelopelavender248]

😂🤣 right

[@HM97542]

Your dedication to your plants is amazing! I dont know how someone can hate on a minigreenhouse which is perfect for indoors! Its is functional AND you can admire all your pretty plants

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Thank you so much! I love my greenhouse and no person who clearly doesn’t own any houseplants will every convince me otherwise 😂 🙌

Plants love being in jail. High humidity, automatic grow lights - the structure to thrive seeing as they doubled in size... its what we all really want a jail to thrive in ... 🥰

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

I wish I lived in an ideal temp/humdity/light controlled environment that fit my exact needs 24/7.

Genayus 😂 The jail looks great!

My Boston Ivy alone would absorb this cabinet in a matter of days

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

It would Hahha. I keep my slower growing higher humidity loving plants in here

[@CarF-i4h]

Where did you get the leaf rug.. ? Its very pretty.

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Hi! It’s from LM Masterpieces (UK artist) and “MICHELLE10” is a 10% discount code as well.

Hi! They’re in my pinned comment but if it’s easier, it’s from Junglespaceship on Etsy and “MICHELLE10” is a discount code you can use

[@amandafinger8337]

I love this. Im gonna have to try it out soon.

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Let me know how it goes!

[@Smaugette]

I need a plant jail too because some of my plants have pests. I am tryyyying!

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

It’s a great way to quarantine plants, but also that means if you do get pests inside, likely EVERYTHING inside will get infected too 😩. Pests in general are just very trying - greenhouse or not haha. I hope you can get a handle on them!

[@lukki7ster]

Been there!! It was only harmless soil mites but fack they exploded in no time​@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Ewwwww even though soil mites are beneficial I still hate em

[@Kermits_Ghost]

I'm still saving up for your greenhouse design as it looks awesome!! (Don't ask why I still don't have enough money 😅)

[@peaches2192]

What spray paint did you use? Is the paint chipping? awesome

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

I used a spray paint designed for appliances. I tagged the long form video I made on this as well that shows some of the slight chipping I had, but it was minimal.

[@katyalupochev9589]

What is that lil red/silvery gray plant on the top shelf? With the elongated pointed leaves? I love it!

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

It’s a snowcapped begonia!

[@katyalupochev9589]

@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow oooh it’s gorgeous!! I might need to buy one, I’ve started a dumb side hobby of hybridising begonias(it’s surprisingly easy!) to get the coolest weirdest ones I can. This would make a great addition to my breeding lines lolll

I have cats! They eat any plant I try to grow. 😢 this would be perfect!

Oh it’s the perfect anti-cat plant display cabinet for SURE

[@user-px6sk3xz9w]

How do they think the babies start, and plant shops always keep their “higher end” babies in cabinets 😂

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

lol this is SOOOOOO true

[@andrewklokoc5229]

You should add something to exhaust some air and a fan for some airflow

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

There are fans and I open the cabinet frequently

[@Maxedmm2]

NOOO NOT THE PLANT THAT FELLLLL, I FEEL SO BAD FOR IT RN (btw i know the plant survived, happy it did)

No damage except for my soul cleaning up that mess

[@jacquelinebouldin8191]

Ouch, those Mother grow lights are as expensive as a Mother(blanker)!😅🤣

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

lol they are the porche of growlights 😂. You can find more cost-effective ones out there for sure and I have a variety of lights at different price points across my home. This is definitely a you-get-what-you-pay-for kinda deal because they are more effective and efficient as lights

[@crissong4871]

After watching a lot of ur videos i so want a smaller version of this but im lazy. And i tried to search for something similar on Amazon. Its all ugly. Ur diy ones r so much cuter

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

lol you can try the ikea Baggebo which is less than $40!

[@SublimeRoes]

I like them to have more storage, lighting isn't the best indoors, and best of all my cats can't get to them.

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Yessss

[@MichielNr1]

But now the most important question remains.... Will the top growlight keep on hanging or will it also fall down like the previous one that was hung up with a magnet 🤔

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

LOL the top of the cabinet is metal so it’s staying on. The reason the other one fell was because the acrylic shelf was pretty thick and so that being in between the two magnets was not the business 😅

[@MichielNr1]

@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow ah I see, well that's a relief 😮‍💨. Or else it would really be jail, plants living in uncertainty when will they be hit by a dropping growlight 😜

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

The long form version of this is tagged as the “related video” under this exact Short. I get my style of Short form content isn’t as easily digestible because I literally only have 60 seconds to show 16 months of work. But that is why I have long form content as well. 👍
