Gallery

SpongeBob's peanut plant is a plant owned by SpongeBob and one of the ingredients used in his sundae in the episode "Something Smells."

Description

The peanut plant is kept on SpongeBob's bathroom window frame and is stored in a red flower pot. The plant contains green dirt, peanuts, and green leaves that grow on its vines.

Role in episode

SpongeBob wants to make an ice cream sundae for breakfast in honor of it being Sunday. However, he is all out of ice cream and finds bananas and cherries to be boring, so he resorts to using non-dessert items for the ingredients: ketchup, onions, and his peanut plant, which he uses as a substitute since Gary ate his entire jar of peanuts. The sundae gives him rancid breath and causes everyone in town to turn away from him.

Trivia

• In episodes other than "Something Smells," there is no peanut plant seen on the windowsill whenever SpongeBob's bathroom would be shown.
