If you have a green thumb and love living amongst your houseplant collection, then you’re probably always looking for new ways to display your plants. Lucky for you, IKEA consistently releases new plant stands that are not only gorgeous, but also functional. The ASKHOLMEN plant stand is one such item. It’s practical at its core — especially in small spaces, as it can fit into unused corners and stores more than just plants. 

What Is the IKEA ASKHOLMEN?

The IKEA ASKHOLMEN is a plant stand that’s designed to tuck neatly into a corner. It features three shelves that decrease in size as they approach the top, and the stand is made from sturdy acacia hardwood that has already been treated to withstand the elements, which makes it great for your porch or balcony. It’s low-profile, which means your plants will continue to be the stars of the show, and it’s spacious enough to house plants of varying sizes. 

It stands just over 45 inches tall, which makes it great for trailing vines. And because there’s plenty of space between the shelves, your plants have tons of room to continue to grow. And even if your plant collection isn’t that vast yet, you can use the ASKHOLMEN stand for plants and other things like books, trinkets, and more! And the best part is that it’s only $35. Shoppers also expressed their admiration for the plant stand in the reviews. 

“I love this plant stand,” one IKEA shopper wrote. “I originally bought this to put plants [on] but I also realize its usage for my collections from traveling. It’s versatile and would highly recommend.”

“I am thrilled with this piece,” someone else wrote. “Easily assembled, super sturdy, and looks very nice with 3 plants with matching pots. Magazine-worthy!”

And another person added, “Awesome plant stand for succulents and other smaller plants. Super easy to assemble and looks beautiful. Great value for the price.”

If you don’t have an IKEA near you or delivery is unavailable, don’t worry — Wayfair offers a similar corner shelf, although at a significantly higher price. The Tisha shelf from Zipcode Design features five shelves that are a bit more spacious compared to the ASKHOLMEN, and this version stands at 63 inches tall. It’s a bit less low-profile than IKEA’s plant stand, but the Tisha could be a great option for those with a larger collection of plants.

Give your plants a beautiful place to live, whether they’re displayed inside or outside! The IKEA ASKHOLMEN plant stand is so versatile that you might find yourself ordering a second one as soon as you’re done setting up your first!
