Introduction: IKEA HACK: Suction Cup Window Planters

About: I used to work for instructables.com, now I just make stuff. // follow me to see what I'm up to: https://www.echoechostudio.com

We have tons of awesome floor to ceiling windows at our workshop, and we have had to get creative with how we store things. Things are getting anchored to the walls and I-Beams, but its hard to put a screw in 1-inch plate glass.

I decided to to put in a little garden that could always have light, and would be easy to water. This may be the shortest Instructable I have ever written - 2 steps!

Step 1: Materials

Step 2: Hang It and Plant It!

I learned the hard way that you really need to let the suction cups set-up for about a day. I got really over-zealous and put all my plants in right away, naturally my suction cups fell off the window.

With a bit more patience - and after a day and half - I re-hung my garden, and it looks great!


I want to try it with multiple rows - maybe even with herbs!
