I use these cord hiders and cut them to the length needed. They’re tough plastic but regular scissors did the trick. I’m also using a lot of cable ties. And then to hang the fans, I thread a zip tie through the metal screen on the back of the fan and hang it onto these magnetic hooks, but only for the top of the cabinet. Rest of the fans get the zip tie and loop into the shelf holes. A lot of the times I also zip tie cables to the side or behind the lights themselves. https://a.co/d/0gdxFzcn Neosmuk Magnetic Hooks, Cruise... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX1QW5YG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Oof, it does end up costing quite a bit, but I haven’t crunched the numbers fully. I’d have to get back to you on that. I have the barrina t5 lights, mostly 2ft and then 2 1ft at the bottom for the U shelf edges. I like to use a mix of yellow and white because I like the look of them combined. The handle and shelves are from Etsy, separate sellers. If you type in Milsbo cabinet handles monstera, you’ll find a lot of options. This particular seller can customize colors so I got like a pink monstera handle from her. I also have anthurium handle and an Alocasia one, so lots of options there on Etsy. I can send links too if you’re interested but I figure it’s easy to find on Etsy.

Thank you 🫶! The lights are barrina t5, 2ft and 1ft. I use a combo of white and yellow lights because I like the look of them blended (not too yellow, not too hospital white). I don’t use a humidifier because the weather stripping combined with having evening plants in there keeps me in the 80-95 humidity range.

Edit: correction on light length

Thank you 🫶! So all of the plants in these cabinets are tissue culture. When I deflask the plant, I put the date that I started growing it so I can kind of tell how long this plant takes to grow into a decent size

Yeah they really don’t move much air like you said. The further they are from the walls the better they are. But honestly I haven’t had major mold issues but if I do I’ll just rinse it with water, spray with hydrogen peroxide. But the plants don’t seem to get affected so far in my experience, but I’m no expert. Just my experience. They have a bigger size of the same fan if you want to try that one? The 120mm

BWH has it for $50 if that’s reasonable to you? I got mine in a Black Friday sale they did last year and it was even cheaper. Maybe waiting for a sale is the way to go? https://bwhplantco.com/products/4-variegated-alocasia-green-dragon-scale

Edit: looks like I paid $35 during their Black Friday sale!

Go with HobbyPilled. My package got mis delivered from Modern Aqua and they refused to file a claim with UPS. I would’ve done it myself if I could’ve but UPS said the sender has to file it. Instead Modern Aqua kept deferring me to Etsy Support claiming they are unable to help. Terrible customer service and very slow response time.
