Making all the mistakes so you don't have to! Ikea Milsbo Plant Greenhouse cabinet build and tips.

[@donnakuster194]

You have done such a great job making so many people happy, given the fact that your life was turned upside down. I still pray for you, and I know that your late husband must be so proud of you. Keep your chin up and keep up the good work. We all love you.

[@PlantswithKrystal]

You are so kind! That really means so much! I know in my heart he would be too.

[@Munz_is_at_your_house]

You are the reason why my plants are alive! My life has changed, especially my room. A dark messy room to a white boho planted jungle! My plants are so happy and because of your knowledge you’ve taught me, I have been able to keep a little chunk of the rainforest with plants and 2 little geckos!

[@franziskafalk4470]

Man I wish I had that video a month ago when I had to figure out how to set up my own Milsbo. I overbought monstera leaf shelves because I wasn’t sure what I need and they are so so cute. Anyway, now that my Alocasia Milsbo is full i realized I’ll need a second Milsbo and glad I already have all the extra shelves. I used a light meter and decided I need more barrina lights in there so I attached more on top and on the sides. Currently having it in my bedroom and when the timer goes on in the morning i feel like a deer in the headlights 😂 but anyway after not doing anything for so long within a week all my Alocasias got babies and I’m so excited. The Milsbo looks so pretty. But be prepared, it literally screams at you “go,get more plants”. At least mine does and who am I to disobey it’s wishes 😂 so off to the store Ps: have you looked at the metal mini greenhouses from ikea? They are so pretty next to the Milsbo. Got 2, attached some barrinas and use one for succulents and one for propagations

[@PlantswithKrystal]

You don't know this but just reading your comment is a bad influence on me. The mini greenhouses have been on my list of things of maybe buying and this is the validation I need it =)

[@franziskafalk4470]

@@PlantswithKrystal haha not sure if I should say sorry or you’re welcome 😄

[@Vampacious]

So, power of manifestation is a real thing.. I watched this video about two weeks ago, mentally put it on my list of all the things I need, and immediately added all the required materials to my amazon cart. I have left the window open this whole time, as well as the website for those shelves!! Without hubby even knowing this was the shelf i wanted, he went and bought it for me for our anniversary yesterday!! I was legit almost crying.. and then showed him all the windows i had open for this exact project!!! He had no idea this was what I had planned, just saw the shelf on sale and thought I'd love it! Looks like i'll be getting busy over the next few weeks!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing your process on this project and all the materials you used!! Finally my cats won't be able to mess with my babies!!

My cat is a plant murdering menace! I need one of these 😂

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate you being here!

[@Everything_Andy]

When using any adhesive stuff like the weather stripping stuff, pro tip lol use a hair dryer on hot to warm the sticky side up a bit as you go. It will allow the adhesive create a better seal/stick and will do better. I do this all the time and makes adhesive alot stronger as well regardless of what your sticking shad item too.

[@PlantswithKrystal]

THANK YOU! That's super helpful!

[@emoo2342]

I love that you went through the whole process. I won’t be doing this until I move, but not many other videos actuallly show how they’re doing the important parts real-time. Once again, thank you so much. You are worth your weight in gold, diamonds, and unicorn dust.💚

[@katiecall9112]

I’ve been a plant mom (more like an evil step parent) for years, and all my plants could be described as “thrives on neglect” due to my terrible mental health. I’m so glad to have had your shorts come across my feed, having things make more sense and easy ways to improve my plant care has me hopeful for a hobby I’ve always loved. I appreciate your content so much, and your light hearted and easy to follow explanations. Thank you! 🤍🤍

[@Outright_Mike]

This is the same project from @ohtheplacesyoullgrow did a while back Your cabinet came out looking great. Thinking of trying it out for myself as well. Thx for the video

[@sarahwinans8415]

The best video! Where are the handle covers from??

[@mariagillinson8527]

Double sided tape is great to secure things. There’s also heavy duty double sided tape. You can also find double sided Velcro useful for things like drapes that you want to remove and clean.

[@lovesyorkies3395]

I’m getting this cabinet for my daughter for her birthday…her boyfriend will be putting this together but I’ll be the one buying the cabinet and accessories. I may get a Rudsta for my birthday. I’m impressed by your ability to build this cabinet. I’ve put together ikea stuff before and it can be a little frustrating. High 5! Love you and your channel. You are pure joy…so is your pup. ❤️

You got this 🙌🏽 happy I could help you along the way with yours!

[@kristiedaniszewski70]

I love that you are a “step by step” creator…a lot of videos are fast forwarded through the “build” parts…I think a lot of us are looking for the how to do it info-so thanks! Even if one has experience, we love seeing the process and progress!!🤗🌿🪴I always love seeing your videos and shorts (not clothes, of course 😂😂, but that’s great too!😆)♥️

If you need to stick anything, alien tape is the way to go. Rver's use it all the time. Truly amazing stuff, don't know what I did before it. Actually, I do know, I struggled!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

I love this! And, you have included the shopping list. Shopping at IKEA is overwhelming most days. I have several pieces in my sewing studio. Now I can make a couple indoor greenhouses! I love all my carnivorous plants. I can now make my bog and still go on a vacation and not stress the whole time about my babies. Thank you!

[@rosewagner4018]

It looks super! I love the handles!

[@rosewagner4018]

[@Jada_RE]

That's a journey! You had a vision & saw it all the way through. That's something to be very proud of! And it's only gonna look better as the plants grow & flourish in there ❤

[@Charismatic6]

Hahahaha I've seen instructions that say 3-4 ppl required and I'm like "challenge accepted" yaaaaaas boo!

[@mariagillinson8527]

Try double sided Velcro. I’ve found it in two width and brought it from sewing stores where you buy fabric. Ive used a lot in trade shows to put up temp booths.

[@veryberry39]

I'm so envious, I wish I could afford to do something like this! It's absolutely beautiful! I'm still new into my plant journey, so I might be going a little too ADHD "buy all the things for your new hobby" at the moment, rofl. Maybe in another year or two I can convince my partner that of COURSE we have the room for a plant cabinet!

[@SinNeighbor]

Me! My year of interest is almost here and I can’t wait to go crazy

[@MrVevlet]

You might have fun looking into the mini greenhouses from IKEA they’re cheaper and could tide you over until you’ve been loving plants long enough to justify a cabinet.

[@ninasuculentasymas]

This is a great idea to avoid using a humidifier thank you for sharing

[@alyshac6939]

Thanks for the cable concealer link! I know cord management can be exhausting work. I've used heavy-duty double sided tape with smaller cable concealers, but adding magnets on the back of yours may work too. Your cabinet turned out incredible!

[@dlittle7983]

You did a great job. I know Ikea items are not so easy to build as they seem. I love the monstera door handles. 💪🪴❣️

Shards of metal just get a magnet to pick them up

Any updated thoughts on the ikea Milsbo?? I’m about to make a purchase for a plant display and unsure what one to choose! 😅 you are amazing, thanks!!

[@turogers13]

My shelves did not come with instructions so I have all these little screws where I have no idea where they go! It did take me a few months to get it where I wanted it as I added and subtracted plants. I still have a few little shelves I can add so time will tell when and where they will go. Lol Great tutorial. 😊

Hi Krystal!! I'm sorry I missed your video but OMYGOD, I LOVE your new plant cabinet, you did an amazing job!! You're SO inspiring and now I really want to replace my plastic covered indoor greenhouses with two of these cabinets one day!!❤❤🥰

[@teddynola]

Yours looks great! I just built mine in black. We got the exact same package from modern aqua! I need to add two more fans, though, and I put two Soltech Grove lights. I kind of wish that I had used Barrinas, but I can still change them out. I think the Barrina puts out more light.

[@annieireland623]

Thank you so much for longer content! ❤️🙏❤️🙏☮️

[@mariagillinson8527]

Would be good if you have this unit that’s sitting on carpet to have the cabinet slightly leaning back to counter all the weight of plants. You can also use security straps that ikea provide to secure to the wall.

[@danasitter1788]

I love the cabinet! I love your channel. What is the purpose of the fans? Heat control from the lights? Or humidity control?

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Thank you so much! Fans are for airflow. Even more important to have especially in enclosed spaces like these.

[@emilypalsa9006]

What are your thoughts on adding heat into the greenhouse? (best method that you've seen?) My apartment is typically 68 degrees Fahrenheit so I'm worried its a bit too cold for my plants.

[@meighanlong2412]

Hi Krystal! What magnets did you use for the lights? I bought some, but they’re not strong enough.

[@amyheckathorn7172]

What is the light quality of the Barrina lights you used? I’m thinking of making my own cabinet but I don’t want some intense blue light glowing from the cabinet. My greenhouse for starting seeds, for my outside garden, is like that and I had to move it to the back room; I can’t co-exist with that light. I saw they had different light qualities, which did you use?

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

[@lrelliott83]

[@tracycox2102]
