The Adorable Cactus Vase From IKEA That's Perfect For Your Desert Home Decor

Who doesn't like a decorative item that's functional and playful at the same time? A daisy-shaped throw pillow can provide comfort while serving as the accent color in a living room. A hollow ottoman can function as a footrest and hiding spot for the kitty. And a cactus-shaped vase can double as a watering can and table decoration. Enter IKEA's bright green ÄRTBUSKE vase/watering can. This charming item can complement a room with a desert theme, or virtually any other room in your home that needs a little whimsy.

Priced at $16.99, this stainless steel vase/watering can sits at 9½ inches tall, 4¼ inches deep, and 8¼ inches long, with a volume of 50.7 ounces. Use it for your real or faux flowers, or just to water your indoor plants. Or both! The longer cactus branch features a spout at the end, and the shorter branch serves as the can handle. You can also place a single flower or two in the spout area of the long branch, in addition to a few flowers at the top center portion of the vase.

ÄRTBUSKE has garnered dozens of positive reviews, with most shoppers praising it for its functionality and cuteness. 

Whether you buy the IKEA cactus vase/watering can or a similar cactus vase, you can keep it in a number of places. If you have a desert-themed room, the cactus vase can complement real cactus plants or other vases well on a windowsill. You can also place it atop a dresser, console table, coffee table, plant stand, floating wall shelf, or ladder shelf. Prefer to bring your vase/watering can to work instead? That's an option, too! Set it on your desk or on the bookcase for all your coworkers to see.

Another place you may want to set your ÄRTBUSKE is on a snack table at a Western-themed party, such as a bridal or baby shower. Just picture a display of succulents, Western boot-shaped cookies, mini cowboy and cowgirl hats, and cupcakes with cactus and horseshoe toppers. The green cactus can be the centerpiece, and since it's made of stainless steel, you can fill it with a sweet beverage like punch or iced tea. Regardless of where you place your happy little IKEA cactus/watering can, it will definitely brighten the room and attract a lot of attention from your guests.
