I have the smaller one and I luv it. I put a cordless humidifier in mine and it keeps the humidity above 90%. Hoyas luv it and will grow aerial roots within 1 week.

I swear my greenhouse is the only thing that saved my plants this winter, my house averages around 23% in the winter so the extra humidity it provides made them all so much happier 💖

Hey Becca, thanks for the video. Just a word of caution. I had this exact greenhouse a few years ago and I had it outside on my porch. I would be really careful about keeping it out of the direct sun because mine got so hot that it literally killed every plant inside in 1 day. Lol it was a total fail for me. Just a word of warning 🙂

omg I really hope you get that ikea cabinet, I've been eyeing it to convert into a greenhouse and would love to see how you rig it up with a humidifier and lights!! i couldn't find a single video on how to do it so I'm sure you'd get a ton of views (which could make up for the cost of the project hehe)

Hi Becca, I agree with you, the ikea cabinet is stunning, I would definitely go for it. Thanks for lovely video 🥰

I have this greenhouse and it was easy to put together. It's been useful and great for my plant rehabs. You need to use a mallet to secure the poles into the slots. It holds a lot of plants and my humidifier and fan for circulation.

Yes, please! An update video on the green house plants in a couple weeks would be super!

Have had that same greenhouse for about four months. I removed the top shelf and the middle support so larger plants can fit. Used the extra shelf to double the shelf below so it is sturdier. Have had no problems at all with it falling apart. My orchids, alocasia and maranta love it! I use a small diffuser to get the humidity up since I live in a dry climate and have a small clamp on fan running all day for circulation. Well worth the price!

I have that exact Ikea cabinet that you showed and I love it! It has worked great for my plants during the winter! Definitely worth the money with a prettier aesthetic. 👍

Trying to find places for plants is never ending hah.

I LOVE your video Becca thank you!! I've had two of these exact same greenhouses since 2016 because every Winter I was losing plants due to my apartment always being cold in the Winter, and scale!! And even though they're alittle wobbly lol, they've been great for my succulents with grow lights and also my tropicals!! I reinforced the shelves with zip ties and I even had to get a fan for air circulation, a heater and humidifier. In the Winter I have them both away from my south-facing window, and in the Spring I place one back in the window and leave the other one with grow lights against the wall!! They are great especially for growing seeds, propagation and keeping my kitty away from my plants!!💖😁

I really want an outdoor greenhouse! Great vid friend ♡

What about zip ties? They might work on the greenhouse to help make it sturdy.

Another update would be nice! Curious to see if the plant progress continues to keep up at the quick pace.☺️

I got this same greenhouse a couple weeks before you got yours. It’s been working out nicely for us in the house. Our plants take turns in it but we mainly use it for cuttings and babies. We haven’t had any problems with it as of yet 😅

I just bought and set up that exact Ikea cabinet(replaced the plastic greenhouse) for my humidity loving plants, and I'd say definitely worth if for the look as well as the price you pay for some of your more special collection.

Put the rocket away 😂😂😂😂 literally spat out my coffee

Greenhouses are a plant saver in the winter time. Excellent for high humidity plants. I love it!

I so appreciate this video, Becca. I'd love to get some sort of little greenhouse...but I'm thinking that a modified piece of furniture or vivarium might be the way to go for me.

Id love an update video!! :) I never thought about getting a green house, I don’t have many plants that like humidity because I live in Texas! Super dry! But this makes me want to give it a go :)

If you take out the very top shelf grid you could put some taller plants on the next shelf down. Zip ties are great for semi permanent stability in shelves like these 😊

I have been using this one for the last couple of years. I keep my orchids there until blooming season.

This is the exact one I have and for the price it's everything I could ask for! All the humidity issues have been taken care of and my plants are thriving :)

I have 2 of these greenhouses. Ones a little bigger, but I got one a year ago and the other 2 years ago. Glue would help with the structural problem you’re having but I used a rubber mallet to make sure the poles were really in there. I haven’t had an issue since I got them and have not had to glue them. I have mine pretty packed with plants too so the shelves are supporting a lot of weight. They are not the cutest but they’re right inside my front door, the winters can be bad here, but since they’re so packed I can roll them open in the summer and my porch is really humid and it’s pretty to walk into and see right away

I have this exact same green house but mine is outside, in fact i have two! I also found it to be not structurally sound. However I used PTFE tape (used by plumbers on pipes) and wrapped all the ends of the poles making them tighter, then during the summer (covers off) I srapped the two back to back, which firmed them a lot. I also dont like the zips, one from the top in a "door" shape would be better. But all in all, i think it's worth it. After all the plants love it. I know it seems drastic, but when I'm trying to rescue something with as little root as you had on the, tetraspermum (?) I chop most of the leaf off, to stop the evaporation, sometimes it helps (not always!) Love your videos and have subscribed!

Put saucers or small plates under your plants to make them more stable,...that is what I do,...and I wouldn't be with out my little green houses,...I keep a few jars of water in around really high humidity plants and I leave the flap rolled up and they all do fine,...so good wishes for your future plants,...

I didn't read through the comments to see if this was already mentioned, but I heard someone mention using electrical tape around each pole where they go into the plastic and that is supposed to make it more sturdy but still can be broken down.

Thanks for making this video! I am looking for something to keep my cats out of my plants, I was looking at the same ikea cabinet. My cats would probably climb the plastic on this one. Hope you stay safe and healthy! 🌿❤️☺️

For taller plants you could always move a middle shelf to the very bottom, so you have a larger gap between two in the middle! That’s what I did for the ones I have, I felt like I was putting together a puzzle 😂 I even connected two together at one point! And I will say, I did have to have my boyfriend push some of them into the holes, it was really difficult and I couldn’t get them all the way in by myself.

Good to see Leo home safe sound!

I keep thinking I want to get one, and have looked at one like that on Amazon many times. I'm want to put it outside and I don't think it would stand up. Glad you posted this. After seeing it - I know it would fall over during the first wind / rain storm.

This is super helpful because I've been looking for a greenhouse too (but wanting to avoid the tacky look) and came across that same Ikea shelf! It's a lot of money so haven't bought it yet. Looking forward to your review of the Ikea shelf when used as a greenhouse!

I would really like to see how this works out. I actually have one of these for the outdoors that I was looking at selling but now I’m wondering if it could give me an extra higher humidity space for my jungle kids.

DIY suggestion. Yes, with this you will lose some portability: go to big box store and buy the study metal racks. Buy sheet plastic. Cut to fit sides. Hang from the sides with shower curtain hooks/clips or even binder clips. Cut a piece to fit the top. Now you have something larger and sturdier and works the same way to keep plant humidity up. It does not have to be sealed at every seam to keep humidity in. As a matter of fact, some air flow is good to keep mold/mildew at bay. Watch the begonia carefully for fungus. Stagnant air is the kiss of death to them.

Get one of those zippers for plastic and make a center opening found at Lowe's or Home Depot. I have had this one (outside) for several years. Time to replace it, frame still good, plastic ecky. Will definitely get the zipper.

I Absolutely Love your Videos! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

I have the same greenhouse and use it for seed starting. It definitely fell apart a few times. The solution that's worked for me is to tie twine where each center shelf pole is, holding the sides tightly together. It's not beautiful, but my seedlings are thriving and I'm no longer worried of losing them to collapse!

Love seeing your plants vibing in their new greenhouse...any updates are appreciated (;

I agree, panic greenhouses are an eyesore, but I do believe it should make a difference for the growth of the plants, specially the tropical humidity loving ones. Plus since it's already kind of ugly adding lights doesn't feel so bad! Also, so true having a dedicated space for recovering plants makes it soooo much better for them and motivates you to pay attention to them. Great idea and use for it!

I use mine for seed starting and love it. It's also good for rehab plants. Just keep it in the shade or use a shade cloth bc in direct sun you'll bake your plants. I found mine at Walmart on clearance for $15.

Good morning! Thanks for the video Becca!

Wow! what an eye opener! I definitely need one! And please do another video. I might be a little late on the reply, but good video.

Hey Becca, how about using cable ties to secure the bars so you can in time take it apart? I've had a similar thing before and it may work for you. Hope it works, love the video x

I have a greenhouse just like that and you need to really push the posts into the holes. I remembers putting it together and laying it on its side and using my body weight to really push down hard and pound it with my fist. I remember a bunch of the posts popped in further when I did that.

First time i see your videos! Pretty cool! I have this exact same greenhouse I got it on Joblot for $31!! I'm growing with an artificial light that was just $17!!! I have Romain Lettuce, Dill, Cilantro, Long coriander, strawberry, tomatoes, parsley, chives, bell peppers and everything is doing pretty good.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I love that you put updates in the same video. I know that can’t be easy to film but we really appreciate it :)

I have the bigger walk in model. I used zipties. Had it for probably 4-5 seasons and it is still functional.

I would love an update, and a review of the ikea greenhouse once you get it!! PLEASE!!

I do not have a greenhouse as of yet, but I did plant a flat of veggie seeds yesterday! I am so excited! Kudos for saving plants! That greenhouse would do spledorific things for teenie seeds!!! :) Good Thinking! :) Stay safe & Have an awesome week!

I literally love all your videos 💕

Most enjoyable minutes of screen time I have had all day. Would love updates on the greenhouse. Thank you so much for sharing.

Great quarantine structure and you can snip out a hole on one side of the shelf for when you need a spot for taller plants 🤗

Man that glass case from IKEA 😬😬😍. Oh no, you've created a monster. So pretty!

Hi Becca! I was just wondering if you use a fan or anything for the aeration of the greenhouse?

Have you thought about using zip ties across the back? My husband works in HVAC and had some that are extremely large. I’m sure they sell them at other places or you could chain some of the other ones together to reach all the way across in the back or sides.

Thanks for sharing your honest opinion on this matter. Have a great day Becca :)

OMG!! This entire time I’ve been like hold on why does she look so familiar or wait I’ve seen that top before! And I JUST realized that I have followed your sewing insta for a while 🤣🤣🤣

Where do you get your containers? I like how much drainage those clear ones have

Just found this and it made me subscribe! So glad I found your channel thank you💗

How did u put the lights? The one i bought is similar to urs but the plastic cover is way to big..

Yes, to the IKEA glass house! Do it!

Great, just get a small fan to keep the air circulating, good job. Don't feel bad it happens you will have casualties.

Try using zip ties hopeful that help with keeping it together

I d use white spray paint on it ,just to match with you almost home ikea cabinet .It will look amazing.

Hi, what kind of light do you use? Thank you!

I owned one of these a few years back and the quality is not good at all. tie wraps are probably your best best to hold the poles in place. I have let mine go and replaced it with a couple of green houses from IKEA (they no longer sell the one that I have). I prefer the IKEA ones b/c it is stable, with doors vs the plastic cover, and you can add lighting to it (I added some and it makes it look so much nicer). Best to your greenhouse shopping.

In your first setup there were no lights in the greenhouse. Suddenly in the next steps there were lights. Can you show how you installed those lights and what lights did you use? Thanks.

I need a greenhouse so my plants can do better during the winter. Thanks.

Maybe try using some kind of wire and wrap around the corners to secure the poles to the shelves? or maybe duck tape? hey it might work for a temp. fix.

What type of lights did you put in the greenhouse?

Good luck with the new greenhouse!(;

I'm so tempted to buy a greenhouse but we really don't have space 😂I would love to see updates!!

I want to turn a thin stretch of my house (low-cut wall next to a hallway) into an indoor greenhouse, with a skylight above, leading light down into it. Not sure where I want to start though. So I just bought plants.

when you put it together, you really have to push the bars in the holders. i bought the same one. and really had to push them in.

I took out the bottom or top shelve for taller plants.

I've been thinking to get one of these or the Ikea one... but I might actually get a big terrarium or old aquarium 🤔

Story time. I had a very similar if not the same green house. It got super rickety and in frustration I put it out on the back deck, empty. We had Thunderstorm and it blew over and the plastic made hammocks for rain water. The sun came out in the coming days but the puddles of rain water stayed. They created focused sunlight beams that melted the plastic on the underside and actually started to char the deck surface!!!

I think those small greenhouses are meant to start seeds in, hence the short distance between shelves.

Do you still have that review section on your website? I had a look and couldn't see it.

I’ve been contemplating purchasing a set up like this for a long good lil’ bit. I am looking forward to your thoughts after having used it for a few months.

Are your lights waterproof? If not, do they experience any condensation issues?

So forgive the unsolicited infodump, but for the anthurium gloriosum, it looks like the pink spiky bits are the cataphylls, which is where the new leaves hang out while they are developing, and then they bust out when they are ready. One day it might be just one reddish spike (that kind of 'new growth' reddish colour anthuriums and philos get) and then the next day there are two because the new baby leaf has hatched out. Even after the leaf busts out, leave the cataphyll alone though, because the next cataphyll will come from out of there as well. They will dry up on their own when they have finished their job. Also, I dunno if this happens with the fancy anthuriums too, but it happens sometimes with my andreanum, where once in a while it looks like the leaf is stuck in the cataphyll and it's twisting and contorting itself all up to get out- resist the urge to try to get in there and loosen things up so it can escape. I know it looks like it's crying for help but don't touch it! The leaf will wind up weird! Mist it with some water, and that will soften things up enough that it will bust out on its own and straighten up like nothing happened. Love the real talk about the greenhouse. Leo's haircut looks cute!

I have the same house!! They are some longer sticks and some shorter ones for 2 to 3 inch I believe!! Check if you don't place it wrong !! Lol🤣 when I was putting it together I didn't it twice!! Because I didn't realize that!!

High humidity plant struggles are sooo relatable 🙈 I will most likely invest in that IKEA cabinet you were talking about, I just love the look of them so much and my plants will hopefully love it too 😍 Love your review of this cheap one you bought, definitely worth it to try it out for humidity loving plants or if you need to acclimate plants from shipping or nurse them back to health 👍🏻

Maybe tying zip ties, twine, or rope around the entire outside along the perimeter of each shelf might help secure the rods to the shelves

yes, please give an up date

with your raffa defora cut all the leaves in half and only leave one leaf whole. Your plant will then produce more roots to sustain itself. All the nutrients are going into the leaf and not enough roots to keep it alive

You could sure up the poles and keep it up permanently … I purchased one and that’s my plan. Good luck

Zip tie the frame together. Easy to ship off when you want to take it down

Yes I would love to see updates.

I'm thinking of making one out of pvc pipes withe set screws at the joints.

Hi Becca, I just started watching your videos and I think your Leo is adorable! What kind of dog is he?

Don't give up on the Rhaphidophora, even if it loses his leafs. The steam looks pretty healthy and should have enough energy to produce new leafs!

This was so helpful!! Do you mind if I ask where you got the mat on the top shelf?

dont you need air sirculation inside?

Na I have 3 of them. It’s very sturdy. You have to push the rods in more. Best mini green house out.

Hey Becca, you really have too strong arm the tubes in. I’ve had one years an it’s pretty sturdy, but you really have too push the ends in. Glueing is good idea too. Leo is so adorable 😍

Thanks for sharing all this (including the follow-up(;

I bought the same greenhouse at Lidl for $19.95. I Love it

Just a thought, you may want to put a rubber mat under it so as the condensation starts forming it doesn’t keep dripping on your carpet
