Re: Lidl,s offer ?
More than likely a ploy to get you into the store.
BUT
You don't have to buy
AND
You can walk away
AND
Worth a look

Look forward to 'seeing them' in the flesh.

Re: Lidl,s offer ?
They’ll probably look like they do in the photo. Ficus, Beaucarnea and Sansevieria. They’re grown in their tens of thousands and Lidl can buy much cheaper than most. Looks good value to me.

Re: Lidl,s offer ?
I agree with Stuart. I got Sanseveria 'Fernwood Punk' from Lidl a while back.

Re: Lidl,s offer ?
May be too much to ask of they will be named ?

Re: Lidl,s offer ?
They had exactly the same in last year. I bought a couple of the Ficus and Sansevieria and they were excellent plants and great value for money. The ceramic outer pots are just a bit of novelty and transfer printed, which is not an issue when it's the plants that you're after.

Re: Lidl,s offer ?
I'll need to see if I can find what I did with the outer pots but from memory there were round stickers on the bottom with the plant passport but just recording the genus

Very unlikely, for Lidl.

Re: Lidl,s offer ?
Question. Are you wanting to buy a plant or a label with a name?
