After the response to my last post, a few people asked to see the full cabinet, so I cleaned up the bottom shelf and took some proper photos. This is the whole setup, plus the plants living on top of it.
It’s almost entirely Alocasia, with one Philodendron melanochrysum mixed in.
Everything in my collection is grown in semi-hydro using Soil Ninja Semi Hydro Coarse, so no soil anywhere here. Pots are generic self-watering setups. For feeding, I use my own custom nutrient recipes that I developed over time and adjusted around how my plants actually respond.
Lighting is Barrina T8 Grow Lights on a 13 hour photoperiod. There’s no humidity control in the Alocasia cabinet, but both cabinets run a Dinural heating cycle with gradual temperature increases and decreases through the day and night.
Everything is also under CCTV, which means I can check on the plants anytime and casually watch new growth happening in real time. Slightly unhinged behaviour perhaps, but effective.
The goal has always been stable conditions, strong roots, and steady growth rather than chasing gimmicks.
I’m also sharing my Anthurium cabinet separately, so if that interests you, have a look through my profile.
