I would absolutely love to see an updated video on moving established alocasia and anthurium to pon. I have many I would like to grow in pon but I’m terrified of losing them to rot. The are currently in a soilless mix with a leca reservoir in no drainage and doing great but the algae and fungus gnats are driving me crazy. I LOVE your new cabinet!

Yay! That's awesome congrats on getting an Akerbar and happy early birthday! I love my little one too - it has officially become a hoya cabinet lol. I have all my new hoyas in it so there's 10 plants! I definitely recommend the Rudsta! It seriously is the prettiest color of green! I wished the milsbo came in this color I would buy another lol. I hope you can get it for your birthday!! 🤞

As an idea when you haven’t got your grow lights on go to Temu and look for led cupboard light the thin profile ones they come with magnets and or stickers they can come on all the time or movement or intermittent, they are so cheap I use them in my tall Ikea bathroom cabinet. USB chargeable and they last a while the cool white looks best imo but they do a warm light too x

hmm, if I remember correct the barrina lights have magnets on the top, the little stickers that come with them are just thin metal, so wouldn't the light hold on it own on the top of the cabinet? I´m not come and can´t check with my own right now, and my cabinet sadly isn´t metal, so I had to use the little metal stickers.

I noticed you have an IKEA Åkerbär greenhouse sitting on an Olivblad plant stand in the background. Have you had any issues with keeping the greenhouse secure on the stand? I have the larger black version and was hoping it would balance well on top of the stand, but there’s a 9cm overhang width-wise.

Very nice i love that green is the colour i choose for a kitchen. I have been avoiding getting a cabinet as i like enjoying my plants around me. But been contemplating getting a small one when i see one that suits my home decor for baby plants to give them faster better growth. How come the white box cover for your plugs not put underneath the cabinet? Instead put on your greenhouse stand? The wires wouldn’t stretch out that much and no need to hide the wires with the cat bed. I would put two tall plants underneath that greenhouse stand instead.
@plantsbymelissa
4 ай бұрын
It's such a pretty green! I didn't think about trying to put it under the cabinet 🫣 I'll have to see if the white box fits. The cords from the other greenhouse would still stretch if I moved it under there since I connected both of them to it though.

19:17 - It looks like it's pointing out you shouldn't have any screws already in the holes. The misplaced screws would end up between the cabinet and the back panel as you're setting the panel in place at 19:25. That makes me think of when the GPS says, "Stay left at the fork." Then I'm trying to anticipate this "fork" on the highway only to see 3 lanes going straight and 1 lane way off to the side veering to the right. I'd be less confused if the GPS didn't say anything at all! 😐
