There’s nothing like a bargain, especially one from Bunnings.
During isolation over the past few months, many Aussies have looked to outdoor inspiration to help give their home a bit of a makeover and add a touch of greenery.
But anyone who loves plants will know, buying our green friends can be expensive.
However one beady-eyed shopper has discovered you can snag a Fiddle-Leaf Fig plants for as little as $3.75 at Bunnings.
You're correct. This isn't a deal so much as Bunnings releasing a new range of mini plants.
Indeed. F*** news.com.au clickbait
is it all bunnings or specifice store(s)?
I went yesterday and my two were $4.95 each and there were only 3 out of hundreds of other plants.
Someone mentioned they’re dwarf ones and won’t ever grow big?
Truth to this?
Depends.
If it is a Lyrata variety, they are not dwarf. The Bambino is.
It is the Lyrata, how do I post a photo on ozbargain?
It's hard to tell from photos, especially if it is small.
Lyrata generally has leaves further apart but the difference between the spacing of a Lyrata vs a Bambino of a young plant is negligible.
A largish plant like one with 60cm+ of growth height from soil would be more obvious. The Bambino has denser leaf coverage. You'll barely see the stem.
Why anyone likes this useless look-like-fake plant? Wouldn't worth $10 for one
According to the "News" article linked to, they are little more than seedlings.
Claiming these are "retailing between $19.98 to $200" is misleading as that refers to fully grown plants, not these seedlings.
Edit: title was changed after I submitted post.
Love these news articles blatantly advertising, and people don't seem to get it - Facebook pages of radio stations seem to be big culprits with Aldi stuff. Wonder how much they get paid?
You should see the price of Grass Trees (not MaryJ). $200-$50,000
This is only a deal for clueless hipsters, not true bargain-hunters.
BS post. link doesn't go to bunnings. checked bunnings site and there's no baby fiddle leaf for even close to $5.
Had to double take scrolling down the home page thought I saw "Baby Fiddler"
This is the normal price. Lol you just got baited by a news.com.au advertising post.
another infomercial from news.com.au
Advertorials… Its not just the Betoota Advocate anymore
There’s nothing here like a bargain, especially one from Bunnings
It's a pointless Bunnings ad on News Ltd.
No actual deal available
No link to Deal
Not on Bunnings site
Why link to the daily rupert and give them traffic?!
Are these still in stock? I got a variety of small plants including this fig a month ago, and now that section has been replaced with something else.
This is an advertisement not a deal.
These aren’t the ones that are $200. They are little baby fiddle leaf plants
Happy to be corrected if anyone knows otherwise
