Love the Rudsta. That's what I have. Built it myself, too. And yes, I had to take it apart at some point because those cross beams got me good. The air gaps on the side panels I just sealed with black silicone. Humidity keeps great. Just have to let the silicone set for 24 hours. And I hung my fans and lights with magnet hooks. So easy.

@@GoodGrowing goes better with your plant shelf in the office, too, while the Milsbo in your living room really complements the sideboard next to it. Good choice! Any idea what you’ll do with the glass shelves? I meanwhile have 4, cause my son took the other Rudsta to Germany. No clue what to do with the glass shelves. Trying to think of ways to turn them into a shelf, perhaps just stacking them with log pieces between them. But where to put THAT?! I seriously have no more space for anymore shelves that stand on the ground. And they are too heavy and deep to mount on a wall.

Thank you SO much for this video! I have a rudsta that I built and then ended up putting my cables through the back of the cabinet which meant there was a big ol opening in the bck LOL. This video helped me and now I can close up the back and all my cables are going out the top. Thank yooooou!!!!! Drilling into the bottom was never an option haha

I have two Rusdtas and both times I put them together wrong. Had to restart both times lol. As for the gaps, I used clear silicone for the side panels and it's work really well.

The cabinet looks great,and your plants too👍 💚☘️🌱🌵

aww thanks! Yes I highly recommend a greenhouse cabinet to keep more needy plants happy in a smaller space. And they look gorgeous too as the plants are kind of on display :) if you have any questions, give me a shout cuz I could talk about mine all day 😂

I have a Baggebo that I turned into a little tiny plant cabinet. I had to use something to cover the sides though because it has mesh metal for sides. buts it's been working out pretty well. it's smaller than I originally imagined so I will need to get a larger cabinet if I want to get bigger plants into a cabinet. but this works lovely for my starts and small plants in need of humidity. for my first Ikea cabinet, I'm satisfied. I couldn't find any milsbo in stock anywhere near me so I just browsed the site until I found something that would work out. 🥰🥰🥰 Also I'm using a set of computer/gaming fans as input/output air flow fans plus have a tiny humidifier for it and a set of lights. it seems to work out pretty well so far. 🤓

I would love to get something like this but am conflicted. I have a Vitapod propagator which I use for seed sowing, cuttings, etc. I love how these milsbo/rudsta/fabrikor cabinets look, but I’m not sure of their purpose. Are plant supposed to be in them all the time or are they used for the same purpose as my Vitapod.

I have that cabinet and want to put my calathea and maranta in it but would u need a humidifier too?

Can I recommend you try a Vornado fan off Amazon? I have 3 of those AC Infinity fans in each milsbo and they are terribly weak. I had constant fungal issues with my anthuriums until I added a Vornado. If I could do it over I'd just have a couple Vornados.

@GoodGrowing

humidifier keeps the air moist rather than getting droplets on the leaves. also plants don't mind droplets on the leaves too much as long as they're getting decent airflow. Hence why people put fans in their cabinets
