For those not as green-fingered, perhaps low-maintenance indoor plants are the best option! Lidl is selling aloe vera, monstera (known as the Swiss cheese plant), and platycerium (known as a staghorn fern) in chic grey and white ceramic pots – perfect for displaying on your desk.

And aloe vera was actually ranked as one of the most popular house plants to buy during lockdown, according to a study by Essential Living.

Skeptical about getting your hands on plants with such a low price tag? Lidl shoppers have been praising the supermarket's plants on Instagram. 

After seeing the leafy house plants advertised on Instagram, one fan admitted: "I bought 4. Love your flowers and plants." A second added: "Got mine. x4 2 Ficus Exoticas, 1 Dracaena & a beautiful Calathea rufibarba. @lidlgb thank you for helping me create a surrounding of green lushness."

Others, meanwhile, were disappointed to find their local store had run out of stock – but with their prices, we're not surprised. It's certainly worth taking a look next time you visit!
