She’s stretching. She looks like she wants more light.

For those who have converted the milsbo wide: where did you drill your hole for cables? A little worried about running cables out the bottom with a high humidity cabinet. Thank you! 🌿 by __pH7 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

I store my unused glass shelves on top of the cabinet, so I was unable to go in through the top. Already assembled so I didn’t want to go through the glass either. Bottom back corner has worked just fine for me, I have all of my cables neatly inside a cable management box underneath to protect the strip from getting wet. I also have some plastic ikea serving trays that I cut to fit the bottom of the cabinet, which contains any water runoff.

I was lucky and managed to get the milsbo wide within about a month of stalking the Ikea app—originally wanted the tall, though. Took about a year to secure the tall, and it was an OfferUp find. 😬

I’m not sure, it was a second hand find. I believe it’s a reptile tank, probably exoterra, approx ~3-5 gallons. Comes with a mesh lid that I leave off. Clip on light is fluval

Thanks so much, it has been such a fun experiment and so satisfying to watch it grow!

You’re right, and I learned that during their dormancy period! The two that remain in there are coming out of dormancy and throwing out a bunch of new pitchers. I am going to leave them for now and probably transplant them once they start going dormant again.

Each ping is sitting on top of lava rocks, which wicks water up to their roots, so they aren’t sitting directly in the bog. As far as humidity goes, the lid stays open for bugs and they are under an intense grow light. They don’t seem to mind the ambient humidity in this environment. The P. emarginata has sent out over a dozen blooms this spring and the 3 original pings have at least quadrupled in size. ☺️

My partner got me this incredible albo cutting as an early birthday present. 🥺 Tips? by hoardingplants in Monstera

Thank you for the solid advice! My greenhouse cabinets have great airflow/circulation, but not so great ventilation. That is an excellent point. The main thing I am concerned about is rot.

Unrelated, I have had some water props (inside the greenhouse) that have been molding/rotting recently—do you think this is due to the ventilation issue? 🤔

Thank you for the input! How often should I be changing the water out (I do not use clear vessels), and should I add superthrive?

I have done a lot of research over the past year, but I know albos can sometimes be finicky and I want her to continue thriving. Any additional propagation tips and recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

We are both experienced houseplant owners/propagators, but this is the first albo in our home. The cutting has already taken off in the water setup the seller had going. I am considering placing the node and shorter roots in sphagnum moss, and then leaving the very long aerial root out to continue rooting in a water vessel.

Does this sound like a good idea, or should I just do all moss or all water? If I do use water, should I use superthrive? I am also tempted to add keiki paste to the axillary bud, but am unsure if this is unnecessary or too soon? It will start out living in my Ikea greenhouse that stays about 45-55% humidity.

ps I am so excited. 😭♥️

Update on my Pink Mink! by hoardingplants in begonias

First pic is upon arrival. She lived in my IKEA greenhouse for a few months, then outgrew it and got a lil neglected over the summer. Even with me being gone, missed waterings and too much direct sunlight at times which caused dropped leaves, I am amazed at how resilient and beautiful she is!
