It’s IKEA Shoppers’ Last Chance to Snag This Hyper-Real Flower (It’s Only $13!)
For many parts of the country, it’s that time of year when the days are gray, the trees are bare, and not much is flourishing in the garden. You might be missing the vibrant foliage from warmer weather and counting down the days until spring. If you’re not a green thumb, but are craving a little plant life in your space, consider buying IKEA’s FEJKA plant, which is essentially a deceptively gorgeous faux orchid. You’ll want to act fast, though, as it’s shoppers’ last chance to buy it.
What Is IKEA’s FEJKA Fake Orchid?
When I was looking through the photos of Natasha Badger’s organic, modern New York City apartment, I initially thought she was just really good at caring for orchids. (These flowers are infamous for being tricky to care for.) However, I soon discovered that it was actually IKEA’s FEJKA, which is a well-made fake orchid.
The IKEA FEJKA, which comes in two sizes (here’s a link to the larger option), costs $13 but lasts a lifetime. Because it’s fake, you won’t have to worry about keeping it alive and will have it for years to come. The smaller version is 11 inches, and the larger is almost 23 inches; both come with black, traditional pots that go with any aesthetic.
It’s a shame these faux florals have been marked down under IKEA’s “Last Chance to Buy” section, as both have almost 5-star ratings. “Pretty and realistic looking,” Susan, an IKEA shopper, said in a review. “I love this little orchid. I sat it on a wall shelf over the bed and it looks so nice there.”
Jill, another IKEA shopper, added, “Beauty and elegance. Purchased the little orchid for a college dorm room since it looks as real as it could get. Add a little sunshine to a drab room.” Another IKEA shopper, Ellen, admitted that “No one could tell it was fake!”
This lightweight fake plant adds drama, character, and warmth to any space — and it’s so inexpensive that it‘s worth getting multiples. For example, Natasha has one in her bedroom and another in her living area. Just because it isn’t a real indoor plant doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate what it brings to your space. These IKEA flowers will be with you for life; they’ll cause you no worry, and instead just bring pure joy.
