IKEA Is Selling a $25 Tabletop Greenhouse That “Exceeded Expectations” of Shoppers

This summer (as most summers are!) is all about helping plants thrive, and IKEA has a brand-new tabletop greenhouse that will give your seedlings the best start in life possible. It’s lightweight, which makes it easy to move around and catch the sun throughout the season, and it comes in the cutest colors, so that it will fit seamlessly into your decor.

The ÅKERBÄR from IKEA is an 18-inch-by-14-inch glass tabletop greenhouse that features a slanted cabinet-style door at the front for easy access to the plants inside. It comes in a beautiful dark blue, but is also available in black and white. It helps retain heat and moisture in a controlled setting, which allows the plants inside to maximize their growth.

Great for starting seeds, maintaining an indoor herb garden, or housing your tropical plants, this little greenhouse can fit on a windowsill, countertop, or potting bench — really wherever it receives the best sunlight! Green thumbs were immediately obsessed with the greenhouse.

“I bought this to use for a plant terrarium, and it does the job well,” one IKEA shopper wrote. “I needed something for my high-humidity houseplants, and it does increase the humidity by 10-15 percent vs. outside air. Easy to assemble. A little flimsy, but you could easily reinforce it if needed. Definitely worth it for the price!”

“Love this thing!” someone else added. “I added some insulation and grow lights and a few clear adhesive shelves on the back and it is amazing! So happy with it that I got two.”

“Exceeded expectations,” another reviewer said. “I have a plant shop and needed a small greenhouse for my air plants and alocasias. I’m now ordering two more because they work perfect for my store. Super easy to put together and great price!”

If you’re looking for something a bit larger, consider this greenhouse from Wayfair. It’s just under $73 but is almost double the size of the IKEA version. If you’ve got a lot of plants, this might be one to consider. 

Pick up the IKEA ÅKERBÄR for just under $25 and use it for your plants or just for display! It’s as useful as it is cute, so you’ll find endless ways to put it to work.
