Aldi’s latest Specialbuys could be a lifesaver for those who struggle to keep their houseplants alive. Whether you’re prone to overwatering or forgetting about your plants entirely, Aldi’s new Easy Care Plants range might be just what you need.
Available in stores from Sunday (February 9), the selection includes Drac Compacta, Drac Lemon Lime, Fatsia Japonica, and Curio Mt Eve, all priced at £3.49 each. These low-maintenance indoor plants are perfect for adding some greenery to your home without taking up too much of your time.
Given the price, it’s not the end of the world if everything goes wrong and you need to start your collection from scratch. Plus, they’re great for any green-fingered hopefuls who need to go back to the basics.
Aldi also sells jasmine, another easy-to-care-for plant, in pink, red, and white options for £6.99. However, jasmine is an outdoor plant, unlike Aldi’s £3.49 offering. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a plant guaranteed to last, Aldi sells a Faux Plant in a Bobble Pot for £3.99 – shoppers can choose between a cream, grey, or green pot.
Or, if you prefer flowers, the supermarket chain has also introduced £2.99 Blocks in Bloom ahead of Valentine’s Day. The sets are proving popular with Lego fans, and they might be well worth a look if you’d love a bright bouquet you can keep forever.
Shoppers can choose from Blue Clover, Zinnia, Jasmine, Lavender, Orchid, Oriental Paperbrush, Peony, Tulip, Pink Rose, or Red Rose. While you might prefer to stick to one set, the sets look beautiful when placed together in a vase.
Reacting to the flowers online, one fan said: “I’ve always wanted some LEGO flowers but they’re mad expensive! These are amazing!” Another wrote: “They have great choices here. I bet Aldi will be raided once people see these!”
Again, these £2.99 sets are Specialbuys, so once they’re sold out, they won’t be restocked. Therefore, shoppers need to act fast if they’re interested in a specific product, reports the Mirror.
