Ikea Milsbo Greenhouse Cabinet Tour - Phalaenopsis Orchids Edition! 🌸

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Quick note I should have mentioned in the vid: the cabinet doesn't close tight, there are pretty big gaps in the door panels. So humidity is almost the same as in my plant room. Also I don't have issues with stale air it seems, I do leave the doors open in the day I water, just in case, but so far no mold outbreaks, or any indication of circulation issues! 😁 Some people do use humidifuers and fans inside, which is a great idea, I luckily seem to not really need them for now 😉

[@drtek1329]

I love watching these older orchid videos, and how you have updated your cabinets and information to current! Kindest regards, David

[@greggeo5933]

Your channel actually IS a beautiful corner of the internet, so they (anybody) absolutely should be "stumbled upon" it.

[@bethbrombosz8467]

I love hearing Maya and Joey and the captions for their calls are the best! I'm sure if someone famous watches your videos they'll be just as impressed by your knowledge and teaching skills as the rest of us. 😊

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Awww you're too kind 😊

[@hoedown175]

I love hearing the birds in the background and I love when you add little captions to it!

[@kendrayourlove]

“And here I am being cringy on the internet” lol no WAY you are so personable and professional with just the right mix of relatability and adorable moments of bird cuteness!

[@tranvansonnhatrang]

Wow there are a lot of beautiful orchids and cute birds. Thank you for letting me see. Have a nice day.

[@barbarahimoe1897]

Love the cabinet. Another great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Danny, very well deserve it !!, Thank you so much for your videos!

[@maryhelgesen5309]

I love your birds they don’t bother me at all!😁🕊

[@Beegno7]

Hi Dani! My Slipper orchid fully opened today. It made me think of all of your wonderful videos.

[@AxsikioMio]

Welcome back! You are not cringe at all! I love watching your videos and they are so informative and beautiful. I think very few people capture the beauty of orchids like you do. Also, yesterday I bought my first jewel orchid, a petola >.> because I got in love after you showcased them. I hope I don’t mess it up, there aren’t a lot of informative videos about it.. everybody is Ludisia here and Ludisia there. Oh well thank you for all your effort in making this channel more and more awesome!

[@Knusperflakes]

I just discovered these cabinets today.. and immediately thought of my orchids. So glad I found this. Love your other videos too!

[@thegrowingspirit]

You’re so silly, anyone who stumbles upon your videos IS impressed at your knowledge and orchid care. You’re fascinating and have such a cute voice, anyone is lucky to stumble upon your amazing corner in KZbin ❤️💝

[@MattManch]

Happy New Year to you, Danny! I just acquired a bunch more orchids the other day, and I know I'm well-prepared to care for them since I watch your videos all the time 😄 And I have an orchid suggestion for you! You mentioned that the Mini Mark is one of the few Phals that have spotted flowers... Well, I'd highly suggest the Phalaenopsis Li'l Bit to add to that list! It's a cross between Phal lindenii and Phal maculata, so it has the amazing mottled leaves of lindenii and the spotting on the flowers inherited from maculata (just like Mini Mark), with a beautiful "rainbow lip"! I just got mine the other day and it has a cute flower spike developing, so I haven't seen the flowers in person just yet. But based on the pictures I've seen, I already know I'll love it. Maybe give that one a try as well! I'm sure it would look amazing next to the Mini Mark 😄

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Ow woaw very cute! Thanks for the suggestion! 🧡

[@gillianwinzinger9558]

LOL super convenient for you to post this when I'm about to walk out the door to go to IKEA.

[@dm2836]

I just bought two mini phals for my Rudsta wide that I’m using for my ferns. I do have mine weather stripped and a humidifier that I run maybe 2 minutes twice a day and fans in mine because I live where it’s extremely cold and the furnace running day and night keeps our household humidity around 20%. The orchids look gorgeous among the ferns I just hope I can keep them alive.

[@klcpca]

I love that you don't have all the "stuff" in your cabinet... the pegboard, hooks, do dads etc. I am planning on getting a Milsbo soon and I just want "simple".... but I do want wire shelves in mine.... wanting jewel orchids, tolumnia orchids and a few ferns in mine..... PS.... I LOVE hearing your birds sing.... please don't cut them out!!! Congrats on 300,000+ subscribers!!

[@TY-ob7fz]

Hi Danny. Happy New Years !!! Thanks for special place for mom’s orchid and doing well. Congrats on 300k, onward towards half mil -one thousand subs in couple days yeh !! Perhaps a good idea to put a computer fan on top panel during summer to remove heat and prevent mold issues. But keeping doors slightly opened might help. Good luck. Hugs.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi Thomas! Happy New Year!!! How are you doing? I seem to not need a fan, the gaps in the door panels are pretty big, but we'll see in the future!

[@TY-ob7fz]

MissOrchidGirl 🥳 Happy New Years. Perhaps to prevent hot spots when temperatures are elevated and with the LED’s creating a bit of heat seems a good idea using a fan, also to prevent mold growth. In nurseries usually is good air movement.

[@CynthiaHoffmanRealtor]

Omg! The Zheng Min Anaconda is just too pretty! 😳🔥 Thanks for the tour! From wherei am, Ikea only ships/sells in a few cities so i cannot get this sadly. But i am planning on making a cabinet this spring with left over glass panes from when some clear window panes from my house were swapped with frosted ones. 🤷‍♂️😅💚

[@eugenb.8448]

What a brilliant idea. I’ve tagged those cabinets in my ikea app so I’ll go get some once our latest lock down is over. As for small plant stands, I’m going to see if 3D printable versions exist. I’m sure someone has posted something on Thingiverse as I’ve never seen those cute little stands anywhere and the ability to raise the ones in back is a great idea. Thanks again for the wonderful content. Always a joy to see a video of yours pop up. Take care and have a fantastic 2021!

[@billymacaraeg7761]

Hey Danny, congratulations on hitting the 300k subs! I am so happy for you 😍. I've been a subscriber since your leca or semihydro setup era 😆I've learned a lot an helped me with my orchids so I salute you from the Philippines. It's super hard for me right now because my garden where I keep my orchids have snails, bush snails and slugs that came back every rainy season so hydrogen peroxide might not help much, hope that you could address this issue one day, it's a pain on my dendrobiums and cattleyas.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, snails don't like copper, so people use copper wires around their plants in the garden! Try to give it a go! Let me know how it works!

[@marilynndavis2513]

Really nice video. The IKEA cabinet shows off your plants well and they are growing nicely. Is air flow or the lack of it a concern? I suppose a small fan could be added if needed.

[@Otees.123]

Hi Danny, I was wondering how much was your phal sweet memory lioboro? Also how do you tell when a phal leaf matures?😊

[@jenniferjsaracino]

Im working on my milsbo, top shelf orchid for sure.

[@PhilipYeung123]

Hey Danny, love the video! I have been watching your videos and thank you for showing us the cattleya magic! I have changed my collection completely from bulb and Den to Catt just for the rewarding blooms and scent. Just wondering, if you were to add cattleya into the cabinet, is there anything you would change? Perhaps 4 tubes per shelf or is it too over kill? Lighting is on the low side here living in the UK, particularly i only have east and west facing window; Temperature is a little on the cold side as well so hopfully the carbinet would give them a better chance! Looking forward to hear from you. Regards, Phil

[@BlackCat_2]

Neat product. I would put that in front of my large east facing window in the living room and probably not even need to use lights. I love hearing the birds in the background btw so I don't mind if it was not edited out. I also love that you show the flowers and names. I have 2 noid Phals and one that I have id'd as a Sogo Vivien. I hope to find out what the other two are someday. - Heidi

[@prebenbusk3908]

Hey Danni! Happy New Year ! Very good video as usual! Beautiful Ikea Milsbo Greenhouse Cabinet! But what about air circulation?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, actually the cabinet doesn't close tight, there are pretty big gaps in the door panels. So humidity is almost the same as in my plant room.

[@PrincessKatarinah323]

Hey Danny, Happy New Year. Question, how long do you keep your grow lights on? Do you keep them on 24/7 or you keep them upto a few hours?

[@mariyoda6137]

I recently started watching some of your video and I was wondering if you rub your orchid leaves with any kind of oil to make them spotless and shiny?

[@DrinkingStar]

I think the humidity was also a contributing factor to the growth. The enclosed cabinet would help retain the moisture and therefore raise the humidity in the air surrounding the orchids in the cabinet.

[@markdavidmadriaga7216]

Hello MOG, I'm new to the channel and to the world of orchids as well. I have this dendrobium, it doesn't have leaves, and roots' color were black (maybe because my mom used charcoal as medium). I noticed that the pseudobulb is turning brown, near the root system), but the upper part is green. I tried repotting it, I checked the roots some were still hard to the touch. But the brownish part of the pseudobulb is soft. Is it dying already? I wanted to make it flourish again, since it was my mother's orchids..

[@mihai.ceausescu]

Dani, how log do you keep the lights on? Do you heat the cabinet with something else during the night time? PS: you do have an awesome KZbin channel and have a great evolution (I binged older videos :) Congratulations!

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, they are on for 12 hours daily :) the cabinet is not heated at night so it reaches 18-19 C, but it seems ok as long as day temps go up! 😊

[@nenavienneau5872]

Hi Dany i notice that you didn’t put a humidifier and fan do you think it will be ok without them cause I won’t to put my orchids too in my cabinet thanks

Hi Danny, i need to ask you an urgent question! I’ve had a phalaenopsis orchid for a couple months now and we have had a very cold winter this year with low humidity, my orchids roots are super dry and some of the arial roots are turning brown! I’ve tried watering her extra but I’m worried I might overwater her, do you have any tips for me because I was so excited to see her bloom this year🥲

[@Cookpostrepeat]

Hi Danny! I love the way you’re so detailed with everything. Quick question, not sure if someone already asked this but are you still using the self watering method? I’m considering doing so myself however I’m still looking for pots that work for me and aren’t costing me an arm and a leg lol

[@bethpaul8833]

Love all your videos! Just set up this cabinet and put in Barrina lighting (two per shelf using Command tapes). Do you find that the glass heats up a lot along the length of the lights? Any issues with that? Forgive me if this was answered somewhere in the comments already. I didn’t read them all Thanks for all the information you give us. I am unfortunately hooked big time.

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, no it just warms a bit the glass, but no real heat! I wouldn't worry ☺️

[@marilyns9580]

nice! i live in tropical country so these orchids you call “summer bloomers” are our normal we keep in our balconies and indoors the house. they produce leaves and flowers year round. well, when proper cared for. :) what is difficult for me are the moth phal kind which needs colder temp. so maybe our setup will be opposite of yours, keeping those needing cold inside the cabinet, like a fridge :) on ventilation, you said that you keep door a bit open, but i thought orchids needs air circulation /moving wind. another question, your medium is mix of bark and sp moss? thanks.

[@marlenekorsgaard2462]

Hi Danni I love the phal. Anaconda too and yours are absolutely stunning. I’m so sad cause I think I lost mine to thrips 😥. It still has god roots so I don’t know if it’s too much too hope for a keiki. Happy New Year Marlene

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Happy New Year 🎉

[@montecristotravels]

I wonder if you can make a cool room version with this cabinet?? :)

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, cooling things is generally much harder than warming them, it's not impossible, but it's not as easy as it sounds that's for sure. Just do some research before committing to anything, good luck! 😉

[@paulanoakes5358]

Do you get your decorative plastic pots locally or online?

[@Ilovecats64705]

I have question, should i just use moss AND orchid potting soil? Or just one because the orchid i bought has moss as soil.

[@logicalfallacy4156]

What to do if you end up overwatering your orchids in winter? Can you place them on top of radiators to dry out faster, is it safe, is it necessary?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, over watering refers more to frequency than quantity, so no need to 'dry' them off if the potting mix is suited for your environment. Adjusting frequency is enough in most cases. If you find the mix stays wet for weeks on end, I would definitely consider changing it to a less water retentive material. Good luck! 😊

[@nancyedgerton6291]

Will you ever add a fan for air circulation?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, no I don't really seem to need it, but if I have issues I will definitely consider it 😊

[@boblaurieg.8649]

What about air circulation in your cabinet? Also, is the humidity the same as the rest of your grow room, or do you add humidity to the cabinet in some way?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, actually the cabinet doesn't close tight, there are pretty big gaps in the door panels. So humidity is almost the same as in my plant room.

Can you finally keep mounted plants in there? There are cheap but functional irrigantion systems on amazon that can be set to spray water once every morning👍

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, actually the cabinet doesn't close tight, there are pretty big gaps in the door panels. So humidity is almost the same as in my plant room. Irrigation will definitely make the bottom tray rust and make a mess on the floor, not to mention being a safety hazzard for the electricals inside!

[@loho1125]

@@MissOrchidGirl You're right😅 I am planning mine in another way. I have found special electrics that are designed for terrariums/greenhouses with build-in sprinklers and are certified waterproof. There are also no plugs directly within what I am planning, the lamps e.g. are already connected to their cords (of course waterproof). I was thinking about an anti-rust coating on the inside.

A lot of people say 6500K is ideal, but 4000K works for you I guess?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, 6500 is not necessarily ideal in the led world, it's just good, as is 4k, 5k.. with rgb led the color temperature is highly.. hiiiiighly relative anyway, it used to apply more to fluorescent tubes. A 4k can look wildly different from brand to brand as I discovered! I never go for the color temperature anymore, it lost meaning sadly, I need to have an idea only and look for videos on that product, or find out the red/blue/white led ratio and imagine how it could look like 😊

@@MissOrchidGirl I appreciate your detailed response - this is something I definitely need to look into more. If others are interested, I would love a more in depth video on lights.. if you have time of course. Have a great day 😊
