With spring officially here, I’m excited to refresh my space for warmer weather. Whether it’s adding fresh hand towels or more lightweight sheets, there’s something about a seasonal refresh that instantly boosts my mood. Lately I’ve been craving a new plant, so when I found out that IKEA is selling a 14-inch mother-in-law’s tongue (also known as a snake plant) for just $15, I was amazed. 

I’ve always loved plants for their ability to uplift the energy in any space and how well they complement any decor. I’ve had a snake plant before, and I love that they’re perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces. They’re also so easy to take care of; they’re nearly impossible to kill. All they require is minimal attention and water every couple of weeks, along with a bit of indirect light. 

IKEA shoppers are equally in love with the pretty plants. “The snake plant was cheaper and more bushy than ones sold at a local nursery,” one IKEA shopper wrote in their review. Another shopper shared, “My husband is a plant enthusiast and he stopped quickly when he saw this beautiful plant, and the price was even better!” 

Not only do these plants add beauty to your space, but they also come with great benefits. Known for purifying the air by removing toxins, they’re perfect for creating a healthier indoor environment. Whether you have a green or black thumb or you’re simply just looking for a quick decor refresh, this plant is a great item to enhance your space. I can’t wait to add another snake plant to mine!
