IKEA Greenhouse Cabinet Tour! (Detolf Edition)

[@Jane-op6qy]

I love your esthetic! I’m also into the black on black! Are you planning on doing a houseplant tour? It would be cool to see how you have your plants incorporated with your interior design 🌻

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Thank you ❤🌿 yes that is certainly on my list of video ideas!! 😁

[@LadyLoriofPlants]

I have been impatiently waiting for a Milsbo tall white to come back in stock. I just bought the detolf to hold me over until I can get the Milsbo. I have been searching for inspiration. This video helped a lot! Love that those clips work on the sides, too! I ordered wire shelves to help with humidity in the cabinet and have a fountain purchased.

[@mwillis7791]

New sub here! I’m so glad I found your channel. I love house plants but don’t have a lot. I like my plants looking like an intentional part of design and decor so I collect slowly. So many people on KZbin seem to collect for the sake of collecting which is no shade as I enjoy watching them and they should do whatever makes the happy in their space! I just appreciate seeing someone put a lot of thought into aesthetics.

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

This is my favourite comment 😁❤ you get me! I need everything to look very intentional, so I'm picky on which plants I have and I prune everything often to keep it looking tidy 🌿 I want them to be part of the decor 😁 always nice to find more passionate plant-stylers!

[@meaganarboren7490]

I just got a detolf off FB marketplace as well for my plants! I was thinking of getting the peg board as well to had more levels, so happy I found this video! It's really helpful seeing my specific cabinet plantified, thank you!

[@jungleflowerscanada5384]

I saw a lot of videos on IKEA greenhouses but I enjoyed yours the most. I made one for my plants also and I love it. 😊

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

🥰🥰🥰 thank you so much!!! I appreciate it so much 💕 if you post pics on Instagram, tag me so I can see 😍 @PlanteriorDecorator

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

😍 I'll go right now!!

[@0nlyme-r5n]

This is awesome as I’ve brought 2 of these as can’t get hold of the other bigger milsbo in white. Love all the advice you have shared. Thank you x

[@juanitagibson3577]

I’m happy to have stumbled upon your KZbin channel! I just recently started with a FABRIKÖR. Seeing all the great resources with the clips and pegboards are awesome. Thanks so much!

[@OliviaMartinez-mr9sg]

Lots of info thank you helped me out alot!!! One question is on side of the door that swivels how did you put the tape up?

[@peggysnail4899]

Clip city!! Another super cool tour, nice work

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

I'm sitting here painting the clips finally 😆

[@myrellard7274]

Looks amazing and would love either one of your cabinets. I’m just getting into collecting some house plants. I love the variegated (right word??) look. Any suggestions for a pretty plant but that is also good for a beginner??

[@allthingstealee]

Myrella Dich pothos are variegated and super low maintenance! Water when dry and can tolerate low light but bright like will have more variegation!

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

I agree with Pothos! Very easy & beautiful. Snake plants are also favourites of mine, since they don't need much attention 🌿❤

[@MurderousIntentions]

What are the beneficial insects?? I have had so many pest problems with my indoor plants and almost no success with keeping them at bay for more than a year... Any tips or advice?

[@hanyeuh]

Thanks for sharing! Was just in Ikea looking into the Detolf as the Milsbo was too big for my living room!!

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

The Detolf really packs a lot into it considering how much smaller it is!

[@StaceyFeltham]

You lessened my aniexty over weather stripping placement, thank youuuuu

[@danim4884]

Not sure if you've solved your lamp shade problem yet, but what I've used for plants and also my house banties is the black reptile light fixtures with the ceramic bases. (like Fluker's or Zoo Med brands, whatever they have at PetCo etc.) So no worries about heat and I think they look nice. Cheers!

[@akeleven]

Love your channel. Excited how you made these cabinets into high humidity area. I'm trying to grow bromeliads in Arizona. Lucky to get 34% humidity. Glad to hear you got humidity just by closing up the cabinet with fan. To shade bulbs: get thin metal sheets from hardware store (in decorative metal area). Cut with scissors to form shade and clip to bulb base. Bend by hand.

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Oh that's a great idea for lamp shades for these single bulbs!! I will try that, thanks! 🥰

[@Lordvarysberries]

Love this, and thank you so much for all the details. And I really love those fake trailing plants from IKEA! I thought they kind of looked like tradescantias and almost bought one. I don’t think it’s embarrassing at all! My house is a mini jungle, but I appreciate a nice cozy decorative accent that’s low maintenance!

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Hahaaha glad someone else loves them too!! They really are attractive fake plants 😆 I recommend them to all my black thumb friends

[@rubenfernandes1330]

Great video! How do you water all the plants that are hanging on the clips?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

I use a small squeeze bottle with a nozzle for precision! I don't soak the soil since most of these plants are propagations with minimal roots ☺

[@selenacy]

There are some thin grow light panels on amazon that you can velcro onto your glass shelves to take up much less space! 20W would be best if it's that close to your plants.

[@floranoirplants4358]

We just got a Milsbo, but the setup you did here is great!

[@danim4884]

Hi Alina :) I recently found a FREE red oak display cabinet similar to the detolf config and I'm super excited to try this out finally. Solstice gratitude! Every cabinet at IKEA appears to be sold out. My question is about the fans. Normally I'd be concerned about a non-sealed motor in a humid environment. Do you know if anyone has had issues with these standard type of desk top/computer fans? TIA!

[@JustPeaachy]

how do these lights compare to the ones in your milsbo? have you noticed any difference? I read that bulb versions are less effective :/

[@simplifygardening]

Can I ask where you import your plants from, please? Love these cabinets

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

I import from a few different countries in Asia and run a small shop locally 🌿

[@rafaelgrady8213]

i know Im pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch new series online ?

[@suziej2796]

Get yourself a room divider screen and pop it up when your ready for bed.

[@drawyrral]

My greenhouse is next to my bed too. I use a blindfold to keep out the light in the morning.

[@LoverofAllThingsGood]

Great video!

[@kailey10015]

Have you put anything on the top and bottom (on the wood stuff) for weather proofing? I'm so scared that the high humidity will lead to the fake wood pealing back/ bubbling and causing mold... have you had any problems?

[@luxurycardstore]

Hi great video. I already have a Detolf and I am so excited to convert it to a greenhouse like yours. Even though you don't care for the hanging cups I do like them. Can you tell me where you got them? Thanks

[@summerskyze]

Your video was super informative! Thank you!!! So much fun going thru this process building it. Question: what is your temp and humidity level regularly in your detolf?

[@SheWritesRight]

Hey. Can you share where you got the plant clip hooks from?

[@Rhumnchoke]

This helped me so much ! Thank you !

[@everosenthal2594]

Would you mind attaching the pegboard you used? Im curious about the size.

[@A33C1A89]

really like your design. what do you think of wire shelving? also do you have any problems with name tapes coming off with humidity? last...:-) Where & what...grow bulb...Please. R U going to share the blackclips and the look . Thank you for the inspirations Oh, you got the adobe colored pots on Amz.?..4"?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Thank you! The wire shelving is awesome, it helps with circulation! Definitely recommend, I just never got around to it! The labels don't come off! They're pretty sticky 😁 The nursery pots I use the most are 3.5"! I really like them! The bulbs & the clips are linked in the description box! ❤🌿

[@laurad2149]

@@PlanteriorDecorator Hi I don't see a link for the clips in your description box or in your linktree. Could you provide a link?

[@botheredwithknots-Sandra]

I'm wondering, can plants stay in the cabinet indefinitely? (Or is it more for propagation and recovery?) I have cats (that are nibblers) and I thought maybe this would be a great idea if the plants could indeed stay in the cabinet. 🤞

[@LadyLoriofPlants]

They can absolutely stay in the cabinet indefinitely! Would be a great solution to keep away from you nibbly cats!

[@cherryvidola4843]

I love it! How long do u keep your lights and fan on? I am setting my detolf cabinet, i also got my humidifier but i notice that the fan is getting wet. I don’t think it’s ok.

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Definitely don't want anything 'wet'! I stopped using a humidifier for that reason haha I prefer a fountain

[@leanmathewmiguel3540]

Very informative video and thank you so much for sharing. I have a question though. 1) Did you cut the pegboard to fit inside or was there a size similar to yours that I can buy? If it's a different size, How did you cut it? 2) On Pegboard Clips you used, Is it strong enough to hold a 5 inches pot of plant on soil?.

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Thank you! That pegboard was a size IKEA offered, I'm not sure if they still do! The pegboard clips are super strong and I'd say they could probably handle up to a 6 inch nursery pot.

[@leanmathewmiguel3540]

Thank you for the confirm. I really love your setup on this small greenhouse. Take care.

[@leanmathewmiguel3540]

Hi. I have additional questions. I noticed it produces mold on the peg board. Do you encounter that? If you did, how do you get rid of it.

[@moniquita007]

Thanks for sharing this, I’m looking into getting my own Detolf! Can you tell me where you got your clips & and the side little hanging pots? And also your fan! Thank you!!

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

You'll love it!! They're all linked in the description box 😁🌿 let me know if you can't find them! My fan isn't available anymore, so I have suggested a different one! ☺

[@raisinbranna]

I love your bedroom decor! can you link the frames and lights you have on your walls?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Thank you so much! I added them to the video description for you! :)

[@raisinbranna]

@@PlanteriorDecorator thank you!

[@A33C1A89]

Hi Alina. I thought of you when I saw this lamp idea. You were thinking of a way to shade your Detolf light. This lady on USA FB greenhouse club bought a work light with a clamp. She removed the clamp and used the metal shade over her grow light. I took pics to send to you but don’t know how to send so you could see. She acquired the light at Home Depot in aisle with extension cords. It really did the job. Black 6’ cord. I wish I could send pics to you. Marin Lafevre. IKEA greenhouse club

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

My plant corner I put a blackout curtain around it

[@brookelynrose7991]

super late comment but i have been doing research on how to setup my cabinet! and was just wondering for the pegboard do you buy a certain size or do you just cut to size?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

I was able to buy these this size last year! I don't know if they still sell them this size of board or not though!

[@cheuktingho]

Thank you for the video! I really love your idea and got inspired. May I ask if the clips are strong enough to hold a bigger plant? Like in a 12cm nursery pot?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

They are very strong! 4 inch pots should work well :) I have even seen some people clip up their terracotta pots with them! I wouldn't because of the weight of the terracotta, but it's good to know they're strong enough haha

[@MisPwettyKittyisSexi]

Where did you get the clips do you have a link?

[@biancarodriguez1082]

Hi! Absolutely love this. I’m also from Canada and I’m planning to build a greenhouse for my plants as well. Just a question, where did you buy the pots with clips that you didn’t end up using? The ones you painted black?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Also at IKEA! :) The plastic buckets are in the kitchen section & the metal buckets with hooks for pegboard are with the SKADIS pegboard!

[@biancarodriguez1082]

@@PlanteriorDecorator omg that was such a quick reply. Thank you! I also saw self watering pots that can be hung on amazon. I’m debating which one I should get

What was that power strip you were using on your milsbo that can connect to your alexa/google home.

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Thanks it looks like I forgot to link it! It is the TP-link powerbar, I got it off Amazon! (www.amazon.ca/dp/B083JKSSR5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_BE8VP6tM5uabF)

[@MisPwettyKittyisSexi]

I was wondering if you had a link for what you used with the light bulb. Like what you screw the lightbulb in to give it power lol

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

It is the IKEA Stråla! I believe it comes in white and black

[@meenakshimakhija6321]

Hey where are those shelving bars from where you have hung the clips and also zipped the pegboard off?

Ok I just checked again and yes they are!! That’s awesome. Excited to build my own before the winter hits :)

[@stephaniesalcido4284]

I am totally taking inspiration from this! Do you know the diameter of the hole you drilled from the lightbulb?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Oh great question! It is enough that the bulb top doesn't fall through! 😅 I made is as big as possible so a warm bulb wasn't sitting right against the wood!

[@lakwachera]

Hi. Thank you for this video. Do you have the link to the containers and clips that you used that fits the side of the detolf spine

did you ever get an answer or find clips? I'm trying to find the same thing

@@laurad2149 I didn’t but I found them in the Skadis section of Ikea. I’ve been using them.

[@kqteo8770]

Hello! Can i ask if i want to put succulents, fittonia and other small plants, do i need a hydrometer and fan?

[@PlanteriorDecorator]

Fan I would for sure keep! Stagnant air isn't good for plants! But you could skip the humidity, weatherstripping, and hygrometer! 😁 Just a beautiful plant display cabinet with a couple of discreet fans and a growlight, if you're inclined!

[@hollywoodclark9578]

Use a pot for lamp shades

Well that's so obvious i'd never have thought of it!!! I'll definitely give it a try!
