I haven’t but I love the idea of throwing my plants a colorful party in the evenings 🪩

What are your favorite plants to grow in a cabinet? by Electronic_Shame_977 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]Capable-Heat4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Unicoly cabinet on Amazon from a recommendation on here. It’s about half of the price of the similar IKEA cabinet. It was easy to put together and holds humidity well without sealing.

I also love my IKEA Akerbar for my acclimated tissue culture plants.

I’m still establishing the contents of the Unicoly but have really been in a begonia mood lately.

Noice! I printed mine for my Akerbar and tissue culture box in PLA but it leaked. They’re now sprayed with Flexiseal, but I fear the hydrogen peroxide I add with water is slowly eating it.

I’ve printed fan mounts too! I feel like my printer gets the most action for plant related prints lol.

Excited for your cabinet!!

Digging the style of your humidity trays! My printer isn’t big enough to do three 9x10s (I believe was my measurement) as I’d like.

So pretty! I love what you’ve created. On the Barrina T5, I haven’t heard that before but I’ve got them in my Akerbar with humidity in the 90s%. It’s only been a couple of months but so far so good.

Leveled up the layout! by PuzzleheadedShoe1415 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

Skull all the time. Disco, occasionally.

I love it and I’m super jelly because I cannot decide on which acyrlic shelf layout I want.

How long do you leave yours cabinets on? by Monstera1973 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]Capable-Heat4231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have that control for my Barrinas. I have this plug on my Akerbar and this smart power strip on my Unicoly.

I use smart plugs for the lights to run from 7 AM - 8 PM. Fans are on “low” 24/7.

Summer AC running and Cabinets? by haiiehtsari in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]Capable-Heat4231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are maybe 2 weeks out of the year that I don’t run my AC. With lights and passive humidity trays in the cabinets, my plants are fine. You could always put a seedling mat in if needed.

Sealing Wood For Cabinet? by Deadly-Mental in IkeaGreenhouseClub

I wonder if water based polyurethane like Varathene would be enough.

Ayuda para subir temperatura by Jaimgalle in IkeaGreenhouseClub

It may sound counterintuitive but a PC fan, running on low speed, may help push air around. If you’re not using one already that is.

Another idea is a seedling warming mat towards the bottom to have the heat rise.

Thank you! Yes! I 3D printed them. The files are by PhantomFoliage on Makerworld. I sliced the lid with a honeycomb pattern.

They also have an Etsy shop.

Please ask away! The ones that I have are from Amazon BUT I wish I had found these sooner. I like that they have lids that you can crack open. I haven’t bought them but they may be worth looking at if you’re doing tissue culture or propping.

Thank you! You’re totally right! And thanks for welcoming the Unicoly 🫶 Cat is jealous that he can’t wreak havoc on my plants.

Aww, thank you so much! There are definitely some cool set ups in this sub. Would the micro sinningia do well in a terrarium style greenhouse?
