Illuminated plant shelf

Material:
- Metal shelf
- LED under-cabinet lights
- extension cable if necessary
- if necessary, multiple socket
Here's how it's done:
STEP 1
Off to the furniture store! The perfect plant shelf is waiting for you there. However, you'll find it in the bathroom department. There, you'll find affordable shelves that meet all the requirements for a plant shelf.
STEP 2
There's a large selection of LED bulbs online. Order three or four under-cabinet lights. Pay attention to the correct light spectrum (page 10). The lights are usually self-adhesive. If they aren't, add a roll of double-sided tape to your shopping cart.
STEP 3
Assemble the shelf according to the instructions and find a suitable spot for it, preferably near a power outlet. Attach the LEDs to the center of each shelf at the bottom. Place plants underneath – and you're done!
