IKEA greenhouse cabinet | growth update and tour
Four month update on my IKEA greenhouse cabinet. So much has changed, lots of new growth, different setup, and new grow lights! I ended up having to remove the waterfall and pond, but tbh I like how it looks a lot more now. The plastic bin i was using for the pond was a little ugly. I replaced my warm yellow grow lights with a full spectrum light from the company Mother, and huge thank you to them for sponsoring this video :)
best,
benji

Omggg sess!!! I woke up at around 6am and mentally told myself i will watch his vlog after work and now im here HAHAHAHAHAH i love this for us
Not gonna lie, I watch this video literally once every few weeks because I'm so eager to start my own greenhouse cabinet, but for now I'm just vicariously enjoying yours. I can only imagine it's so enjoyable having an entire ecocsystem in your living room and the different lights made it look so good.
Oh my gosh! Your cabinet setup is like a fantasy, I imagined being a little fairy in there, it’s beautiful Benji.✨

I absolutely love how lush it became! The additions that you made really helped it grow!
absolutely beautiful - I really admire your ability to stick to your vision and build something like this from basically a glass cabinet! and you have an amazing sense of beauty in how you've chosen the plants and set them out really fantastic - I'm so inspired
I really like that you put up the names on screen of the plants! I know it's gotta be a lot of extra work, but please keep doing it! :)
Your terrarium is stunning ! I love it so much (especially the baby platyceriums). I love that you shouted out Serpa Design, icons supporting icons 💚

Thank you! and yes I love talking ab other channels I enjoy because I feel like you guys would like them too. It's like recommending a tv show to friends lol. For my aquariums/terrariums I get a lot of inspiration from SerpaDesign and Foo the Flowerhorn. The aquarium that I show at 4:04 was a direct copy from his volcano tank. I posted it on Reddit a few years back when I made it and people thought I stole his photo. I took it as a compliment though lol
it's so cool to see the update, how plants adapt and grow 🌿

Thanks for sharing your greenhouse cabinet to us!! It’s simply breathtaking 😍 I admire the thriving micro ecosystem you have created. It must be so cool to see how it will change and evolve over time.
omg benji I have been waiting for this video! my cabinet has been sitting there waiting for me to build the terrarium! and this is the perfect motivator. All the plants are so absolutely beautiful and I love how much of an ecosystem it is within itself. I love the bugs, the CUTEST mushrooms, the passiflora is gorgeous... thank you so so much for sharing this project. It is amazing as are you! 💚

ikr?? the mushrooms are so tiny and they sprout up randomly and only live for around a week so it's always a joy to see them. I love the passiflora too! it grows extremely fast and is very hardy. I'm growing it out on my balcony, and in my home (outside the terrarium) and it's thriving in every location. The leaf shape and color is so pretty, it reminds me of a butterfly

was feeling really uninspired by plants for a little bit but this reignited my interest again. thanks for showing how creative you can be with plants~!
This is amazing! Beautifully arranged, it looks so natural 👌 And the variety of plants is a feast for the eyes
Your videos are a balm for my anxious soul. Watching the growth of this cabinet from its start has been super educational! Thank you so much! Your new dog is so adorable.
Your plant cabinet is awesome! It's so lush and beautiful. Very inspiring
I have an old empty fish tank collecting dust in the garage and now you have inspired me to make a little planted terrarium🥰
Just built my Rudsta and now I'm researching your videos to make sure I get all the needed supplies and steps in order. Thank you for inspiring me, Benji! 😊🌿🌱
Amazingly well done! Nice to see someone putting their hard work and time into something so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
I'm really glad whenever I see you get sponsorships that fit your niche needs SO MUCH
oh this is DELIGHTFUL, lovely to see how it changed over time
Gorgeous. Some little lizards or a turtle would make it a storybook fantasy, and maybe balance out the bugs. You should sell your idea to IKEA, it would be a wonderful gift idea for parents to encourage learning how to create and grow things with their kids.
Your videos make me so happy, they’re so enjoyable and informative!
I love this cabinet & absolutely loved the creative process of it
Love how it has grown lush and beautiful. 🌿
This is beautiful and lush. Yes, Benji, you are an artist. Love it!
I really like your setup! Most people tend to putting too much stuff in their cabinets, like too many different colours that don't match that we'll, but yours looks really natural and balanced. Well done!
This is so soothing. This is almost plant asmr. Thank you for sharing 😊
I love your terrarium. Like escaping to another world that’s peaceful. 💚🌿🪴 It’s also so nice seeing how kind you are to Theodore. ❤️
I don't know what it is but I just find so much comfort in watching your videos, so Benji thank you!
I like your approach to things, I'm the same way. Glad we're not alone! 😄 The greenhouse is beautiful. I hope to try something like this in the future.
Impressive, this cabinet has really come into to it's own, good for her being able adapt your approach!
Absolutely stunning benji! So inspiring and beautiful 💕🙌🏼
The voice is soo at ease and merits a subscription for sure. Keep up the great work and nice Serpa shoutout :)
You did an amazing job! Theo is an adorable addition to your home.
It looks amazing! Also your apartment, love the plants hanging from the windows 💙
Building 1st and learning from the mistakes after is exactly how I learned hydroponics. Keep it up 👍
I love your creation 💖 you're so knowledgeable. And inspiring. Thx for sharing 😊
This is truly genius and so beautiful! Thank you for sharing & for the inspiration Benji
Cabinet looks amazing! Makes me want to redo my big terrarium that I've been neglecting.
“philodendron theodoreum” 😂 😂
Absolutely beautiful! Work of art!
Beautiful,so inspirational. Thank you for including details about the mother lights and the reverse osmosis water and fertiliser. I was also wondering about the Manis xx. I love Theo,he’s the most adorable addition to your home.
I'm glad I found you I always wanted to grow moss but didn't know much about it. moss is very beautiful and even making them into aquarium is interesting so thank you!
Your voice is so calming.
absolutely magical
Absolutely stunning setup. Love how it's grown in 🌿🌱🌿
Wow!! It's looking so lush and beautiful that's so awesome you did such an amazing job !! I love how everything just pops I could gaze at it for hours 😍👍💚
Yours are the best 8ve fi7nd so far, thank you for your generosity in sharing. Going to try making one
This is very cool :D thank you for sharing this update. In the distant future I want to try to make my own cabinet! I’d also like to say that your videos have given me inspiration and courage to start making my own pant videos. You’re videos encourage me to be myself :D
So beautiful. Very inspiring that I really I wanna achieve something similar to my future terrarium project. Love it!!!
That has turned out spectacularly!!! 💚 If my new LED lighting doesn't work well I'll know which brand to check out!
Wonderfully inspiring as always! Thanks for another lovely video 💛
An easy way to set up a pond fixture is to just bury a 2.5-5 gallon tank so that itself is enclosed/sealed.
Your voice is how I imagine a psychologist would sound, very calm and soothing.
Hey man I just found your channel and Im already in love wid your plants and I've been watching all your videos continuously. wishing u all the success and love frm India
Absolutely loving this and so inspire. Thanks for sharing!
Love it, looks like a mini paradise.
The sundews are gorgeous
Wow this is such a cool idea! So lovely to be able to have something like this in an apartment
so elegant and well done

haha i really do like them (they're not making me write this comment lol). they're different from any other grow lights on the market and address a lot of needs for houseplant ppl in terms of aesthetics and functionality
Amazing outcome! You just made me want to build one too. Great video! 😁
This is stunning
Great work Benji, it looks superb. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K. Stay safe and well.
This is amazing thanks for sharing! Hopefully I can try doing my own little cabinet some day ❤️
This is striving. Congrats !
Thanks for the update! It looks great!
This is just incredible!!
That is amazing. ive never seen something like this before.
Love the update you definitely have a green thumb 🍃😊❣️
It's so beautiful ✨
Thank you for talking so calmly.
Your cabinet is gorgeous, I believe the passiflora you have is a trifasciata, I’ve got one and it looks like yours, such a pretty plant.
i just watched the video about you making it last night! and you posted a update the day after :D
This is sooooo impressive and beautiful 💚💚
I found your channel and now I'm obsessed. I almost feel like I can do this too!
It’s a beautiful setup
"fungus gnat heaven" was what I was thinking before you mention them. Glad you took care of them with the sundews 😉
This is so so cool 😍i love love it 🥰
It looks like a fairy jungle paradise 😍
I hate to read instructions too but at least you figured it out. Your plant showcase really looks wonderful. 😊
That is incredible! I wish I could just cozy up in there
I do love how you incorporated Platycerium spores into your greenhouse ecosystem. I know thats what I would do.

i was trying to grow them in a tupperware container and then i was like wait... why don't i just spread spores around in my cabinet. 3 months later i started seeing sporelings! I'm just not sure what to do once they get bigger lol
i would love to see a tutorial of u trying everything again from scratch with everything u know now. n gift one to a friend if u don’t wanna keep it!!
This is one of the prettiest things I've ever seen, I want to live inside that cabinet 😂
How's the mantis? Everything looks amazing, I love it.
Omg you saved my day! I love you 💚
Still beautiful and I understand why you took the waterfall out but it took away some of the magic. I love any kind of water feature and having one contained in a small space that I can look at when I want to makes me very happy.
your cabinet is quite a success. well done. BR from germany!
ur videos fuel my passion for environmental biology!!! ur the coolest!!!! :)
Ahhhhhh!!!! This is so satisfying and cool
Wow this looks awesome
So nice, love it❤
stumbled across your channel today! absolutely love how calm these videos are and i had to comment because i am the exact same in that i just do things and solve the problems as i go, no instruction manuals for me either (my partner evens me out though as he is very much to the book). amazing rainforest you've created here x
This is beautiful !
oh my gosh, this is so pretty! 😲
about halfway into this video i realized i fucked up at work, spent an hour sprialing, and then came back to this relaxing content lol so thank you benji
You just created a new need for my house. How dare you. Now I have to make one for myself and my nepenthes! :D Love your content Benji
What Amazing terrarium!
Beautiful... and effective! Perfection 👍🏼
