Function/solution
A prickly survivor
This cactus is a true survivor that’s used to tough and dry conditions. In the wild, the spines protect the cactus against animals, but they also provide shade and gather dew that drips down into the soil where the roots absorb the water. Don’t be fooled by the prickly exterior – this is a reliable roommate who stays by your side year after year. And the best part is that it can survive on its own when you go on vacation!
How to choose
Which plant suits me and my home?
From noble stems and lush leaves to prickly cacti and bold flowers. Greenery makes a home more personal and vibrant – and at IKEA you will always find plants that suit you and your home. Think about the kind, size, the needs in terms of care and if the plant should be placed indoors or outdoors – and how much sunshine or shade it needs. Use our care tips for each plant to find the right one for you so it will flourish. Finally, choose a pot that you and your new plant like.
Material
What is glass?
Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.
