Plants and small homes don’t tend to mix well: Growing greenery encroaches on your precious little space, dirt gets everywhere when you repot, and it’s all at the mercy of what few windows you have. Leave it to IKEA to come up with a more harmonious arrangement. Starting February 1, you can shop the new Daksjus plant collection in stores and online—it’s all about mess-free planting and effortless maintenance.
More advanced plant parents can work on expanding their indoor garden with the propagation vases and sprouting dishes, the latter of which are made from a porous red clay that keeps the dish evenly damp. You can feel good about leaving all your tools and vessels out on display, too. Even purely functional accessories like the trellises and potting mats (a game changer if you are sick of getting soil all over your floor!) have a Josef Frank–esque quality about them.

For novice green thumbs, the Daksjus assortment—ranging from $5 to $50—checks a critical box: self-watering pots and accessories. The containers are made from porous terracotta that holds excess water, allowing your greenery to draw moisture when it needs it. (There is also a handy gap on the side where you can refill it over time.) And if you are worried about keeping something already potted—say, your Dracaena Janet Craig Compacta, the It plant of 2024—alive, a duo of self-watering glass bulbs is ready to shoulder the burden.
