# Sooo I did a little shop at IKEA 🛍️✨ and saw these little cute bowls…

_Posted by Potheadparadise on 2026-05-19_

Sooo I did a little shop at IKEA 🛍️✨ and saw these little cute bowls — 3 for £5 😭 I couldn’t believe it!!

Anyway, of course I didn’t use them for food… I turned them into plant pots instead 🤭🪴

I also bought an already-made terrarium that had a Gollum Jade 🌿 and a succulent, but I felt so bad just throwing the original setup away 😭 so I repotted them into these bowls.

I know I’m probably going to get the whole “no drainage holes!! 😬” spiel… but honestly I didn’t even buy these plants intentionally, so I’m just admiring the look for now ✨

Hopefully they don’t die on me 🤞💚 but I’m also kind of an underwaterer, so I have faith they’ll survive for a bit at least 😭😂 until I can maybe rehome them properly later.

Anywayyy I also made a cutting of my Hoya mathilde 🌸 and popped it into one of the bowls too!! It looks so cute I can’t even 😭🫶✨

I also buy fun bowls and picnic ware for plants (with no drainage) its fine as long as you adjust watering, let them dry out i use a meter and use chop sticks to airate those.
