[@Drajuguetes95]

Thank you for talking about the “problematic” part of the cabinets

[@glenda917]

You're getting so good at making video's. A LOT of work went into this. REALLY good.

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Cheers 😽. The editing takes the longest

[@nicolamiddleton9918]

Thank you, just watched your two cabinet videos, I've not started a cabinet yet, but it is my next project, thank you for video's so helpful 👍🙏♥️

[@YourBabylonPlants]

thank you Nicola

[@emilysaforrian5291]

I haven't watched an of this video but had to stop and say that I love your t-shirt!

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Hahah thank you I love the show

[@randyschmitt2762]

I love all your plants! I‘m asking myself if you or anyone ever experienced rust on the cabinets?😀

[@beardedhoya]

Ive got a little bit on the bottom below the doors and im sure around the hole i drilled

[@aqua.scape69]

Beautiful cabinet

[@jennykovacic5022]

Thanks for the awesome video. I am in the planning stages for my cabinet.

[@YourBabylonPlants]

glad it was helpful. I’ve a few more vids on the set up

[@foliageloft3488]

Thinking about picking one up, thanks for all the details! Very helpful.

[@charmainerichards6801]

Hello, Thks u for the VD want to get in to some expensive plants 🪴 I don’t want a IKEA cabinet BUT!! I think that’s what I’m going to have to get. I live in New York, on the top floor and those plant needs high humidity at least 70 making room for the IKEA cabinet have to put shelves on the wall for my other not so high immunity plans so I’ll be keeping in touch with you because you have all the plants that I want to get ha ha👒🧤💚

[@0215karl]

Great vid, lovely plants!

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Thanks Karl

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

Genius idea to get the remote control fan...

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Yes I totally recommend getting one of those power strips. The app is amazing to. Make all your schedules so easy to do

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

@@YourBabylonPlants looking for one right now 🙂.

[@YourBabylonPlants]

I've added a link in the description to all the items I have

[@lenachurcher1640]

Your plants are amazing this video was very helpful thank u

[@plantsdownunder7634]

I have had my ikea cabinet for a year now too. I keep my humidity at similar levels and have only had to clean it once the whole time ive had it.

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

Omg your anthuriums....❤❤❤

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Anthuriums are my fave of all

[@aarontaing8795]

Amazing plants.

[@piggiesmile]

I'm also bummed ikea doesn't make those lights anymore. They also stopped the bulbs. I ordered them when they were still available, waited weeks and weeks hoping they'd still send them. But customer service never replied and I missed the last ones. I now have two of those arcadia jungle dawn's you mentioned. I'm very happy with those but I have to say that these are price-wise way more expensive than those from ikea. Although I know that they are a lot cheaper in the UK then the EU. But since (for some reason) I'm really scared to burn my house down, I don't want to buy something cheap that might end up being a fire hazard. But I do have a lot of trust in my arcadia's haha

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Yes still never knew why they stopped them

[@deplantstylist]

Great update thanks!

[@tallyjohnson2904]

Amazing vid...super informative and as always a brill watch!

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Thanks Tally.

[@lisary5600]

Enjoying watching your video, thank you. where di you get the mini fan? thank you

[@ArtPomelo]

Not into these types of plants but great in depth view of your approach. When your current light breaks you will replace it with 2 of the new 15w Jungle Led per layer? Thats quite a lot. I think not even my citrus needs that. I will buy a small Milsbo next week and upgrade it to a greenhouse.

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Hey I’m just going to use 1x 15x jungle dawn at the top. I’ve ordered 2x as I now have a second cabinet

[@ArtPomelo]

@@YourBabylonPlants Thats great i ordered also one for the small version of the milsbo cabin. My plants will be totally different and the one getting close to yours is maybe the vanilla orchid. Hope to see more of the cabin videos =D

[@annaphillips4296]

Does the heat mat help keep temp up? I’m wondering how to get temp to stay high in mine that I’m putting together now.

[@YourBabylonPlants]

It will for the items sat on the mat. It won't keep your entire cabinet at a temp

[@micheleklau2387]

If you need a greenhouse cabinet with higher humidity get a metal or plastic pegboard. Not available from Ikea but from your common or garden hardware store. Natural solution for bugs/pests: get some carnivorous plants. My sundew loves gnats. They'll be gone in no time.

[@johannavanwinkle815]

great video!

[@rickydunn6519]

Try teak/cedar wood shoe rack from ikea or such for your shelf

[@k10b27]

Totally love this idea and all your advice! Out of all the videos I've watched so far on plant cabinets, yours were informative, brief, and captivating! When I do start this project, what does your watering schedule look like? I guess not as frequent because of the humidity?

[@YourBabylonPlants]

I check weekly all the plants and in summer more often. it depends on the medium the plant is in as well.

[@tinastowe5734]

Great video very interesting 👍

[@yolong9554]

Love your greenhouse!! I wonder where you get those flat shelves you hung on skadis peg board!!! Those look super practical. 👍👍

[@YourBabylonPlants]

They are skadis shelves

[@ixaralee]

Where do you buy this swirski ulti-mite here in the UK? Just recently bought a plant full of thrips and I have sprayed it with provanto. I’ve got combo sticks on the way too.💪🏼

[@aggiim2996]

Hi, hope you can help 🫣 I’ve got two greenhouse cabinets and I really struggle with mould on my pegboards but I don’t understand how to keep my humidity lower? Currently it sits between 80 and 90 which is insane and clearly the issue. I don’t have a humidifier in there, I have 2 fans in each constantly running too and I have weather proofed the door, any ideas? Love the video! 💜

[@praimarina]

I have the same issue, have you solved it yet?

[@aggiim2996]

I have not! I have ended up removing the Ikea peg boards and replaced them with some metal grids from Amazon, my humidity is still extremely high though so I have to air out my cabinets once a day for a while 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sendaiscoloursable]

How do you handle mold that develops on pots in the ikea greenhouse?

[@LadyLoriofPlants]

Do you have any weather stripping around the doors of your cabinet?

[@Mamboro17]

Great set up. Could you also control your humidifier using the WiFi powerstrip? I am looking for a humidifier that can be used for a daily planning.

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Good question. Unfortunately not. There dons t seem to be a humidifier on the market that when it has power is auto on and going, they all seem to need you to press a button to enable them

[@Mamboro17]

@@YourBabylonPlants maybe we have to resort to terrarium foggers then

[@victoriahickey6776]

Is a fan still important if there is no humidifier in the cabinet ?

Look for all grow tent equipment. I use Secret Jardin Monkey Fan. It has oscillation and very durable magnetic way of working. Do t know how to explain it. Also secret jardin grow lights.

[@josephchiam9804]

Does it get too hot because of the heat from the lights especially in summer and what do you do about it?

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Hey. No the lights I use are LED type and emit low heat. Also most of the plants I have come from places with higher heat and humidity

[@TONIADENICOLO]

Hi there! Thanks for the video :) I was wondering if you have any tips on caring for the Mamei? I just got one and she’s not acclimating to my home very happily.

[@YourBabylonPlants]

please can you DM me on Instagram so we can chat faster on this and I’ll help

[@juliagray125]

how often do you keep your fan running? & do you leave the doors open at times during the day?

[@lauradias3731]

Hey loved watching this! I’m just curious, with your moss what is the reason for having it sitting in a glass cup with water? Thanks!

[@YourBabylonPlants]

hey which part of the video. all the containers I have in there with moss wither have cuttings or a bulb in

[@kimwilliams7051]

Great video ☺️

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Thanks kim

[@robertoleonardi6313]

where do you get the anthurium seed from? lovely plants you have there. Great video

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Hey Roberto. The last set I got from Germany before brexit. Now it's not possible to get them without a phytosanitary certificate. Sad times. But I have other anthuriums where they have a fruited inflorescence so I will make more seeds in a few months

[@robertoleonardi6313]

@@YourBabylonPlants Oh that's a shame ' i have only just started so have only managed to grow a few baby clarinervium so far, my regale is in bloom now so have just attempted pollination with some frozen pollen i kept from last November

[@YourBabylonPlants]

Yes well I hope it works. They take forever to make the berries.

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

How on earth did you get Florida Beauty???? So jealous!

[@YourBabylonPlants]

I know they have got expensive now. I got from so wine off Instagram. It's not the most colourful one but fingers crossed for it to be nice when it grows a new stem and leaves

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

@@YourBabylonPlants looks like it's going to be a beaut. I can't get my head around the plants that used to be reasonably priced but now need a second mortgage! It makes sense for a new variant that's had a lot of R&D carried out but the older varieties seem to have been taken over by a particularly nasty cartel!

[@lazyplants12]

About the pegboard: isn’t the wood color type different from the white ? I mean finish wise?

[@YourBabylonPlants]

yes the white one is pre covered in a paint type plastic

[@caroe3330]

I’m also worried avout getting mold on my board, i’ve heard people weather protecting it of some sort but not sure with which product to do that. Any ideas?

[@YourBabylonPlants]

you can get clear seal sprays, like acrylic sprays. just make sure it’s for general use and not for walls. what level is your humidity? I’ve only heard of people having issues when they have constant humidity and wetness above 80

[@shanelpaige2152]

I'm hearing some people saying their glass spontaneously shatters. I'm worried about that.

[@richiwheeler6255]

Sweet

[@gabbydown3773]

everything you have promoted ..literally none are unavailable lol 🙈

[@maurizioarrivabene8182]

Dont make the fan thing too complicated. A small fan will circulate all of the air inside within a minute or so, theres no need to get fancy ones

[@JessicaSugarTankLarson]

We are using dual computer fans but aren't sure how to mount them 🤔
