Cacti, carnivorous plants and tropical exotics: The "Icons Mini Plants" set from Lego offers you a total of nine models.
You've probably already realised that it's not easy to get houseplants through the winter. In the last article of my plant primer, you will find some tips on how to get your green roommates through the dark season.
If winter plant care is too time-consuming for you, you can of course also use special artificial plants: namely those that can be put together. I recently came across one of these Lego plants in a friend's flat. These plant models are also in demand at Galaxus. For example, the "Tiny Plants" from the Lego Botanical Collection are enjoying positive reviews despite only being in the shop for a short time. According to one user, the little plants are not just fun to build. They are also "beautiful for decoration". The set is in third place in the Lego ranking in our shop. The contrast of creating a natural product from bricks therefore seems to have a certain appeal.
Not a children's toy
As the "18+" labelling indicates, the "Icons Mini Plants" set is intended for adults. It contains 758 parts that can be assembled into nine different specimens. These are models with different levels of difficulty: from easy to challenging. This makes it suitable for both beginners and Lego experts. The specimens include a money tree, a Venus flytrap, succulents and cacti. The largest is the flamingo flower, which measures 16 × 10 × 6 centimetres. By the way: each model also includes the assembly of the matching terracotta-coloured flower pot.
