Have you seen a DIY miniature greenhouse kit somewhere online on Pinterest or a Facebook group, etc? Or what about those cute flower shops? And do you think that these are absolutely adorable?
2. A Blue DIY Miniature Greenhouse Kit From Cutebee
This one I haven’t made myself yet (so many kits, so little time!), but I love the design and colors of this one and many people have made this, so this review is quite correct.
1:24 (Cutebee is a little bit smaller than Robotime)
Pro’s
– Again a pretty design (in my opinion) – Includes a music box – should also include a dust cover, but be sure to check with the seller first to be sure! – It is fantastic if you like plenty of plants/flowers/greenhouse! – the wiring looks “easier” 😉 – the parts are already painted
Contra’s
– I have seen many people complain about the roof not fitting as well as it should be! – Beware to get the manual in English, if it is in Chinese, you could use the Google translate app. – batteries and glue are not included
This one is on my wishlist for sure. The review below is based on reviews on social media and the problems that people have encountered with this dollhouse kit.
I find this one a very original and creative flower shop!
Brand name
Robotime aka Rolife
Scale
1:24
Pro’s
– The materials are quite sturdy – There are 40+ plants and flowers in this kit! – an original design
Contra’s
– The manual can be complicated – Beware to ask the seller if paint and glue are included – Wiring/lights can be hard – the back walls have only the batteries and wiring, so you could make a pretty wall yourself maybe? – can get tedious with all the plants!
There are almost no reviews whatsoever on this miniature kit, so I’m sorry, but it doesn’t seem all too popular 🙁
Maybe, that’s just a thought of mine, this is because it doesn’t look “complicated” enough or it is not packed with items like these kits usually are?
But on the other hand, that’s a reason why someone would like to buy this one because it would be assembled much quicker than others ànd your teenager or even kid could join in on this!
And I can think of other advantages (see table below)
Brand name
Robotime/Rolife

1:24
Pro’s
– Assembling time is to a minimum/smaller kit – This can be done together with your teen or even child (in my opinion)/family project – Very affordable DIY greenhouse kit – durable materials like wood and paper
Contra’s
– no batteries included – if you prefer a larger kit with more items, I would refer you back to the miniature kits from above
Why the exclamation mark in my title? Well, because I made this one myself and I loved it.
Apart from the wirework, this one was also quite easy to do, in my opinion. And I just love the design, I made it with a minimum of frustration lol!
This is also the only miniature kit that I recorded on video from beginning to end, more than 2 hours of recording!
If you like what I did here and if you would like to see more of this kind of video, then please “like” the video and subscribe to my channel, thank you!
(that motivates me to do this more often)

Pro’s
– apart from the wirework, this is pretty easy to assemble – lovely design – durable materials like wood and paper
Contra’s
– the walls need to be painted – the wirework is hard – batteries not included (in my box they did) – the lights can be a challenge, but nothing I can’t handle
Do you want to watch the stars in a dome, while being surrounded by plants? Then this miniature version is perfect for your little people 😉
This kit is a small one indeed and I think it can be made fairly quickly!
Brand name
Robotime/Rolife (I think!)
Scale
1:24
Pro’s
– Easy assemble instructions in English – lovely design – durable materials like wood and paper – a small project that doesn’t require much time – an affordable kit
Contra’s
– I think this one is fairly new, so not much information is available on it – I haven’t found extra pictures or video, so, please click on the Amazon link below for more pictures!
This greenhouse kit was pointed out to me by someone on Facebook (thanks!), after writing this blog post.
So I decided to add it, so this is number 10, instead of the original 9 😉
As I can’t find it on Amazon and only on AliExpress, it is hard to review it though, but I càn give you some details and thoughts, as I think that it is from Robotime and I am familiar with that brand!
As you can see, picture number 1 and picture number 2 look different, but it is from the same kit and I think a builder just changed a few things:
left out the front door
not painted the frame black or on the contrary left the frame brown (not sure)
didn’t use the plastic covers
Furthermore, seeing the details: the little bags, the flowers, etc, I definitely think that this is Robotime. Not sure why I can’t find it on Amazon though. Anyway:
Brand name
Robotime/Rolife (I think! Correct me if I’m wrong)
Scale
1:24
Pro’s
– Looks affordable – as it is from Robotime, this is usually sturdy – Robotime usually also uses durable materials like wood and paper (of course the greenhouse has plastic “windows”) – an English manual should be included
Contra’s
– not enough information available/not sure if people like this greenhouse kit – batteries not included
This one is a little “garden entrance”, I think the smallest miniature kit so far, but plenty of flowers and plants for sure!
Brand name
Robotime/Rolife
Scale
1:24
Pro’s
– A small kit if you don’t have much space – English manual – I have always thought that the kits from Robotime have a clear manual – I always had batteries and glue included, but your kit might miss out on both, depending where you live!
Contra’s
– You need to be experienced in flower making/ not an easy kit – Some parts seem to be missing in this box – not for beginners
This greenhouse kit/flower house I found by accident on Etsy, when I wasn’t even looking for it.
It is a small greenhouse with no overabundance of miniatures inside.

Pro’s
– A small kit if you don’t have much space – English manual – LED lights with a battery box switch included – free shipping – difficulty level seems low
Contra’s
– Glue and batteries are not included – although this is called a flower house, there is not an abundance of flowers or plants in it
I have found another greenhouse kit from Robotime (well, at the least I think it is from Robotime), but I have to say: it looks a lot like the other greenhouses from Robotime in the list above.
So you could say that this one could be number 10 on my list, but have a look at number 1 and look at number 8. (Cathy’s Flowerhouse and the Stary Garden dome).
They are basically just shaped slightly different with a different cover in plastic, but contain the same items, in some more than others. Can you see what I mean?
Compare this to the 2 other similar ones (or click on the links above for more details):
My Personal Work
Do you see what I mean? These contain the same pieces of furniture, they just have a different “shell”!
Oh well, I just thought I’d mention it on the side 😉

Thank you very much for this valuable detailed review about A DIY Miniature Greenhouse Kits. These are really beautiful. My sister likes this kind of thing a lot. Her birthday is coming up next week.

Unbelievably excellent work! I admire your passion, knowledge, and love to add details to bring the piece together. It truly is admirable.
I am sure I can never do them with that kind of detail and precision. Many of them look cheap compared to the labor that is being put in to build them.
They can be for any family having toddlers and older for elevating their creativity.
They should be in the schools and daycare centers and the opportunity should be available for kids to try out.
Thank you, for your passion, creativity, and perseverence to complete the perfect piece. I don’t have words really to appreciate you enough. All the best wishes on your journey.
