Best Accessories for an IKEA Greenhouse

If you’re ready to make an IKEA greenhouse cabinet truly shine, accessories are where function meets style. From shelves to humidity control, the right gear transforms your cabinet into a miniature ecosystem. We've scoped the best options—based on enthusiasts’ builds on Reddit, YouTube, Facebook groups and DIY blogs—alongside our own premium solutions from Plantal Support.

Shelves (Acrylic vs. Glass vs. Wire)

The shelf material you choose impacts light, airflow, stability—and mood.

• Acrylic: Lightweight, clear, and humidity-resistant. Perfect for showcasing foliage and letting light filter through. Plantal Support’s custom acrylic shelves come in corner or extended styles, designed specifically for Milsbo, Rudsta, Fabrikör, Detolf, and Baggebo—allowing seamless fit and extra airflow.
• Glass: Sleek and high-light penetration, but fragile and heavy. Use only if you prefer a crystal-clear view and don’t mind extra heft.
• Wire: Excellent airflow and prevents water pooling, but may leave footprint marks on leaves unless combined with a tray. Ideal for propagation setups.

What enthusiasts say:

Most acrylic shelf users often recommend them for its “airflow and clarity,” while some users mentioned: “glass looks sharp but bowing is a nightmare unless bracketed well.” Plantal Support’s extended brackets eliminate that worry—especially for wide or corner shelves.

Lighting Options

Plants need light. Many greenhouse cabinet creators opt for full-spectrum LED grow lights (like Barrina or Monios). Mounting tips from community builds include:

• Magnets: Attach lights to a magnetic back (great for Rudsta) for fast swaps and repositioning.
• Under-shelf strips: Hidden yet potent; excellent for layered light exposure.
• Plantal Support’s screw-on or magnetic light mounts make installation clean and wire-free—perfect when you make an IKEA greenhouse cabinet and want everything neat from day one.

Ventilation & Fans

Stagnant air is a plant killer. Most experienced builders install small USB or DC fans to keep things moving:

• Place fans at different levels or near doors for consistent airflow.
• Most community members suggest linking fans to smart outlets for automated schedules.
• Pair with adjustable fan mounts or Magnetic hooks to keep your airflow discreet and efficient.

Humidity Control Products

Keeping the right moisture is crucial:

• Pebble trays or water trays are the easiest DIY fix; many IKEA Greenhouse owners just use a shallow tray.
• Mini humidifiers give more consistent control and are popular in drier climates or during winter.
• Plantal Support offers a Water Catcher Tray—stylish, durable, and functional for your plant pots inside the cabinet.
• Pair with a hygrometer (many plants’ builds include one) to manage your cabinet’s microclimate proactively.

Styling & Decorative Accessories

Your cabinet can be both functional and beautiful. Here are fun options the plant community loves:

• Pegboards & magnetic displays: Use for tools, small pots, tags, or plant hooks. Plantal Support’s Golden Hour, Flower Petal, and Holographic pegboards elevate styling while staying functional.
• Magnetic hooks and clips: Great for hanging tools or wire baskets—especially efficient when paired with magnetic cabinet backs.
• Decorative pots: Plantal Support’s Neo 3D-printed pot and ultra-clear acrylic pots keep the look clean yet modern.
• Labels: Plantal Support’s clear acrylic plant labels let you name your varities in style.
