Plants & flowers

IKEA plants and flowers bring a sense of harmony to your rooms

Plants can do a lot for us. Not just as big trees or wide-open meadows, but also as flowers and houseplants, and as garden, balcony and patio plants at home. Their colours can feel uplifting or calming, their scent can change the mood of a room, and their look can add a more harmonious feel with an extra touch of style. Pair them with IKEA plant pots, planters and flower boxes, and you get eye-catching combinations that help shape a room and brighten your day. Sounds good, doesn’t it? So if you’re looking to buy beautiful, good-quality plants at an affordable price, you’re in the right place. What are you in the mood for today?

Which plants and flowers work well as decoration?

Choose the potted plants you like and use them to decorate your bedroom or living room. With the right plant pot, they can suit almost any style. Small houseplants such as succulents or mini cacti make simple but effective decorative touches on shelves and surfaces. They need very little care and still look great. If you want even less upkeep, dried flowers are a popular choice. They add colour to your home and can last for a long time. Artificial plants also work as year-round green accents, without ongoing care or wilting.

Which plants are easy to keep indoors?

Easy-care houseplants such as snake plants or pothos can cope well even if you don’t give them loads of attention. They can also help filter the air, and they look good while they’re at it. Bigger houseplants, such as a monstera, can bring a room to life. In bedrooms and living rooms, plants can help create a calm, natural feel, while a more colourful plant in a home office can help the space feel more energising. One thing to keep in mind is what the plant needs. Always check how much light it likes and how much care it needs. That way you can choose something that suits your space, whether you have green fingers or not.

Which plants are ideal for darker corners?

Not every corner gets enough light for every type of plant. But some houseplants, such as zamioculcas (often called a ZZ plant), peace lilies and ferns, can feel at home in shadier spots. They don’t need much sun and can forgive the odd missed watering. If you’d rather make it even easier, you can choose IKEA artificial plants. They can look remarkably lifelike and don’t need any light, fertiliser or water.

Which flowers and plants work well as table decorations?

For a dining table or coffee table, compact plants are usually best. Small potted plants, fresh flowers in a vase, or elegant dried flowers add a stylish touch. Pair your choice with a matching plant pot or vase for a cohesive look.

Which plants are best for outdoor spaces?

Balcony and garden plants need to be hardy. Our outdoor plants can cope with wind, rain and changing temperatures. With herbs, ornamental grasses or flowering perennials, you can add colour to your balcony, terrace or garden. Plant them in suitable flower boxes or pots and create your own green oasis. Regular watering and the occasional feed help keep them healthy. That way, your outdoor space can feel like a second living room.

Which pots are best for my plants?

The right pot really does make a difference, especially the size. Live plants need room for their roots to grow. Pots with a drainage hole help prevent waterlogging, but you’ll want a suitable saucer or mat underneath. Decorative outer pots without a hole look great, but you’ll need to be a little more careful when watering. Plants tend to do best when the pot and the plant are a good match. That’s why it can be helpful to choose them together, ideally in person at your local IKEA store.

How can I water my plants while I’m away?

Going away soon? No need to worry. Your plants don’t have to go without water. Self-watering systems can keep your plants watered for several days. Simple inserts can look neat and help you keep watering more consistent. One more tip: before you leave, move your plants to a semi-shaded spot so less water evaporates. And the best tip is to ask a friend or neighbour to help out while you’re away. As a thank you, you could always treat them to an IKEA plant.
