Ikea Greenhouse Cabinet Transformation (MILSBO) | Start to finish set up + tour

[@countrygirl4422]

You can get black magnet's with hooks at Walmart to hang a small fan or anything else . You can also get custom acrylic back boards and shelving with slots for air flow on Etsy. The acrylic would be nice because of it being clear and let's the light through. You can also get custom door knobs on Etsy although not something I'd get. You may want to seal any metal you drilled with a bit of paint so it doesn't rust. Love your cabinet and thanks for the video Fern. 👍♥️🦋

[@nicoleham42]

I haven't seen anyone set up their peg board like this yet, I've often seen it outside the case. I looove how you did that! 🤩

[@wildfern]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@darcyl4649]

Loving what you did. Just a suggestion...the pegboard would look amazing in black. Maybe some spray paint?? Love your videos!!!!

[@oneofeverything9820]

Okay, everyone and their mom is on this trend AND DAMN IT, I NEED TO GET A MILSBO MYSELF TOO! I'm truly influenced LOL

[@sherryporsch9349]

Your not alone 😃

[@fignewton0000]

My biggest obsession now is terrariums, I know that feel. After watching Serpadesign aaaaaaand then plant me Ashley and harli g went to botanicaz where they had all of those display cases as terrariums and basically my nose started bleeding like I'm a cliche anime character

[@wildfern]

Hahahah literally so was I!

[@bklynqn2]

I had to SPRINT to IKEA today to get one of the last two. Now I’m thinking I should have purchased both🙄

[@bo-moony7936]

Great job on the cabinet! My tropical plants are thriving in mine and I plan to get a second cabinet soon. Couple tips I've picked up: get grommets for your drilled holes bc the metal edges are rough and can wear at your electrical cords. Also coat the edge of the cut holes with paint to prevent rust since the humidity level will be high in your cabinet.

[@wildfern]

Ohh thank you - yes I need grommets!!

[@yooomama4295]

I’m glad you brought up the weather strips. I wouldn’t have thought of it.

[@sthomas757]

Plant parents are never done, better to show now cause it'll change 40 times again by next week. Looks great Fern!

[@wildfern]

Lol honestly so true! Everything is forever a work in progress :)

[@sherryporsch9349]

Every plant tuber is getting this cabinet. First time I’ve seen pegboard accessories, they are really neat. 💚😃

[@wildfern]

I love it with the pegboard! So many possibilities. Thanks for watching x

[@dumblydoreandco.3801]

Owh that intro! That's some gorgeous plant-action... 😏🥰

[@wildfern]

Ahh thank you so much!! I was pretty happy with how those shots turned out 😊💕

[@itscarolinemary]

It looks soooo good. I'm surprised the tape is holding the lights! wow that's cool.

[@fridan6040]

Looks so good! After switching my Alcosias to LECA and putting them in a small Ikea greenhouse, they've started shooting out new leaves. I'm sure the humidity will be good for them in there.

[@wildfern]

That's amazing, I really hope mine do the same!

[@AwoooOga3503]

So nice of your friends to build the greenhouse for you 🥰

[@raykupal]

... mother of dra..... i mean plants! mother of plants! 🥰🥰🥰

[@knitwit2871]

Ugh I can't wait til the day I get one of these, I'll definitely be using this for inspo. It came out absolutely beautiful fern!

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much 😊

[@morganmyatt1457]

I love my ikea greenhouse so much. Adding the pegboards was a game changer. My hoyas have been growing like crazy and my philo leaves have doubled in size. I have had some bleaching on a few from the grow lights so keep an eye on how close they get.

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Yesss I've been waiting so long for this!!! The Skadis line is bomb, I've even used the clips to hook my taller monstera leaves over to position them how I want so they don't just hang all over everything! P.S. looooove that intro so well done Thanks for the shoutout girl, you're the best! Glad I was helpful!

[@wildfern]

Ahhh thank you so much! And what a great idea for the clips. 🥰

[@Samm6977]

Yay! I’m glad you finally got it all set up to your liking

[@wildfern]

Me too!! Thank you!

[@flowers0fpeace]

I’m so glad your vision for the cabinet is coming along great! 🎉 Your plants look right at home in there 💚🌱. You have awesome friends 🥰

[@wildfern]

Thank you so much, and awe yes my friends are the best!

[@wandashaw3551]

Love your cabinet! How about some trailing plants to sit on the top of the cabinet?

[@wildfern]

Yes! Great idea. I definitely want to add some :) Thanks for watching, Wanda!

[@Shelbzz]

Yaaaassss! Shoutout your references unlike some KZbiners who act like they cane up with it.

[@reyakisakura3971]

Do you need to spray the peg board with anti fungal spray or something that prevents fungus/ mold growth even with a fan in?

[@kaitlinwildey2562]

Love the cabinet Fern! You guys did such a good job 😊.

[@wildfern]

Thank you!! 😊

[@veroniquetravers1556]

I recently found your channel. Fellow plant/succulents addict here. 🙌🏻 now I’m binge watching your channel lol. Got myself an antique cabinet that I will do the same with. Wish I could send you a pic 😌

[@wildfern]

Awe, welcome!! Thanks so much for watching. And that's awesome, I am obsessed with plant cabinets now. Wish we were able to attach photos to YT comments haha.

[@Ylimeable777]

I love this! :D you should definitely put your begonias in there. I know you said you were having troubles with them a little while ago. They would really enjoy that!

[@wildfern]

Ahh yes! I was thinking the same thing. But I am currently treating them and observing for powdery mildew so I want to make sure that's resolved before I put them in there.

[@Ylimeable777]

@@wildfern that is a good idea! I just found a little white bug marching around on the pot my Begonia is in, and believe me when I say I was ready for war! I sprayed her off and the top layer of the soil with neem oil and I haven't seen any more, so I guess the problem has been resolved?

[@Roxamouhaha]

Love your setup!! Can't wait to see a "Ikea greehouse update" too see all your plants thriving in it!

[@wildfern]

Thank you! I also can’t wait for that 🥰

[@paige403]

You have awesome friends!

[@wildfern]

Right omg 🥺

[@AbbeyStrawberryJam]

I rehab Alocasia for a nursery that I do some work for, and they love super high humidity, they also want really strong light. Mine is in a cabinet set up and even the seedlings go directly under a light that's only about 30cm above. So your alocasias will love your milsbo but I would move them so that they get more light.

[@wildfern]

Oh, good to know! I can move them higher up. Thanks so much.

[@conbore3445]

I am so glad I found your channel a few months ago, your videos never disappoint. I love to see and feel your passion for plants and just positivity too! I love your overall vibe. The cabinet looks awesome too, I agree badass as fuck. Best of luck on it and I look forward to seeing the updates!!

[@kellyjaggars1047]

DAMNIT!!!! Now I gotta go get all the things to make a plant cabinet 🤣 Love this so much and LOVE how high the humidity gets with out a humidifier 💗💗💗 Excellent job and you have really great friends!!!! (I’m the friend with the power tools lmao)

[@sofibravo2211]

I'm glad you have already achieved it, I look very beautiful, I'm from Argentina but I already want one hahaha I think that the alocasia amazónica would be in its perfect jungle being in that cab ♥

What a good idea :)

[@aggiek7342]

I am picking mine up today... I blame you Fern 😭😉❤️

[@dianncotterell5531]

I enjoyed your video. I'm goimg to Ikea afert work today to but a Milsbo cabinet. The humidity was 80% what was to ambiante humidity out side of it? I'm askimg because I too live jn Canada and the winters are cold. I like the room on the colder side.

[@chroniccare409]

Looks great dude!!! Love your tats too. Super cute! Also those lights will fall on your plants if it humid and then cool. FYI I do have a pretty good idea for your cab. If your interested lmk

[@tinavourtzoumis5331]

Love your build you did a great job! Just a little tip for ya.. look up grommets on amazon or check your local hardware store! You can put them on your drill holes to protect yourself while putting wires through 😁

[@wildfern]

Thanks so much, I need to find some!

[@TheLucille7]

Love this video and your setup is awesome. I’m waiting until spring

[@lizl8564]

How has the double sided tape on the light fixture held up? Did heat from the light soften the glue on the tape or anything like that?

[@wildfern]

The one on the top has not budged, but I couldn't get the tape to stick on the lower one.

[@majkenhorton5148]

This is so amazing! I have plant bookshelf, but this is making me want to look into a cabinet

[@sandyking2259]

I will totally do this but I will spray paint the peg board white

[@marinellaespineli6061]

what about your humidifier set up on it... I was waiting for that part

[@wildfern]

There is no humidifier. It maintains humidity with just the weatherstripping. Too wet & foggy with a humidifier.

[@atheneesims9466]

I have the Fabrikor cabinet. I put it together and I love it. The only issue is when I close it the door gapes open. I did weatherstrip too. Any advice??????

[@wildfern]

Is it not closing because of the weatherstrip, or what's causing it?

[@atheneesims9466]

@@wildfern I have the clear thin 3M weatherstripping on the right door and on the bottom but, when I lock it, it just sticks out.

[@atheneesims9466]

@@wildfern I took off the weatherstripping on the sides of the doors. It’s seems to be closing better!! And the humidity is going up!!

[@thomaslin1206]

Lights aren't heavy, but does it get warm? That could soften the adhesive.

[@wildfern]

They don't really get warm, I think it's the humidity that makes it so they won't stick to glass :( I don't know lol

[@MeasuredProductivity]

YES 👏🙌 It looks soooo good. Making me want to add peg boards to mine.....

[@wildfern]

Ahh thank you so much!!! Yeah when I saw people putting the pegboard I was like wow so cool and handy! :)

[@shirleyshirk2211]

Totally love with this shelf! I have one and i love it!

[@quentingill4896]

Which spectrum color did you choose dor the grow lights ?

[@brittneyabel2777]

It looks gorgeous!! I really want one now but I have no space and like you said its kind of pricey. 😭 one day though. Are you nervous that the heat from the lights will melt/dissolve to stickiness of the tape? I believe kaylee Ellen's did dissolve but I'm not sure she said what she used instead of the tape after that happened!

[@wildfern]

Hey! Yes, one day 🥰 and these lights aren't giving off heat! I think Kaylee is using different ones that look a little more heavy duty so that could be why. The ones in mine are very lightweight, so I'm hoping it won't be a problem!

[@tobiasdorn7730]

okay but that dark grey t-shirt???? gorgeous! where did you get it?

[@wildfern]

urban outfitters

[@primalgraphx5747]

What’s the clearance underneath the cabinet, from floor to bottom of the cabinet?

[@wildfern]

Probably about 8 inches

[@machaelacroft1971]

Can you do a plant basics video??? New plant mom and I want to learn everything 😍

[@nursegmez5055]

Did the lights ever fall?

[@ShaunaFox]

do the grow lights help with getting the temp up in the cabinet? I wonder if I could save on my heating bill by building something like this.

[@wildfern]

These ones don't seem to give off any heat.

[@luisdeleon3368]

Won't the peg board swell because of the humidity and cause the board to warp?

[@wildfern]

I haven't heard of this from anyone who has this set up, but I will update if it ever becomes a problem!

[@bo-moony7936]

The skadis is made of plastic so there shouldn't be any concerns for warping from the humidity

[@6yajaira]

Love it !! What side of pegboard did you get ?

[@wildfern]

I think it's 22x22... which ever is the square one! It should be linked in description box

[@chelseaart194]

I am legit building mine at the moment. What type of screws did you use to mount the pegboard. I do not understand picking out nails...

[@wildfern]

Ooo I'm not sure what the type is. They are drilled right through the pegboard and metal on the back and secured with a wing nut.

[@nickiedavis6471]

Did you get the rosy colored LEDs? Do you like them?

[@WahooLouder]

Okay, so. This time travel issue is a bit less complicated if the single most relevant factor(the beginning in perpetuity) is forgone. Let me explain(I am just thinking ahead for some kind of controlled enviroment that I can portion of into quadrants so that plants I want to keep, or want to sell, don't overcrowd my general space). For instance, if to travel to the future, then one becomes present to a past they became absent from. In the long end of a short pitch, the feasibility of metamophosizing the pre-existing constructions of the world(sidewalks and iron beams and such) that all people are thought to be born about, is unlikely unless another dimension of our own reality is convinced to proceed in a pace of time greater than our own. Thus, shedding the sight required to make those changes for ourselves. However, there is also the intelligible rationality of providing to everything an example that also moves for itself: to hear the silence | so as one may be spoken
