Greenhouse cabinet alternatives

Have you fallen in love with the greenhouse trend, but simply don't have the space or budget to create one yourself? Fortunately, there are a few alternatives that are cheaper and take up less space!

Small greenhouse

For plant lovers who don't have that much space (anymore), IKEA has also come up with something else: a mini greenhouse. This greenhouse is perfect for letting your (rare) plants grow and flourish. We recommend making this little greenhouse airtight to keep the humidity inside constant.

It exists in two sizes, a tiny one which is 45 cm x 35 cm, and a bigger one which is 65 cm x 40 cm. The biggest is black while the tiniest is white. The biggest is our favourite because we can place more plants, and it can contain one of our grow lights!

Terrariums

A greenhouse cabinet is a kind of terrarium, but larger. Are you looking for a place where you can make your plants really happy, but don't have the space to put up one of those big glass cabinets? Then go for a good old terrarium! Make your own terrarium and watch your plants thrive in the mini-ecosystem. A perfect green world that you can put on your table!
