Ikea
Available for delivery.
What doesn’t Ikea have? Unsurprisingly, this furniture behemoth is home to a number of indoor plants, as befitting its Scandi aesthetic. If you’re looking for a ‘starter’ pot, get the palm plant, as it’s low-maintenance and requires indirect sunlight. Prefer smaller decorative plants? Take your pick from cacti and small ferns. If you’re a lost cause when it comes to gardening, perhaps it’s best you stick to the fake ones that are just as pleasing to the eye.

Pick a Plant
Available for delivery.
For low-maintenance plants that don’t need much attention, choose an air plant. Also known as tillandsia, these get most of their nutrients from the air and don’t require soil to grow. Watering is easy. Most recommend soaking your plant in room temperature water every 10 to 14 days, gently shaking off the excess water, and leaving it to air dry. Here, tillandsias are categorised into two groups for easy shopping: Basic Beginner Collections for newbies and the Collector’s Selection, which features exotic breeds.
