Wilko shoppers left divided over 25p plants with some laying into the staff and saying they’re a total waste
SHOPPERS have been left divided over 25p plants on sale in Wilko.
Some said the blooms are a total waste of money, even at their reduced price – but not everyone was convinced.
This comes after one bargain hunter shared a snap of some plants in the store on the popular Facebook group .
“Bargains in Wilkos today,” he jokingly wrote with a laughing face emoji.
In the picture there are rows of different plants on a shelf, all discounted to just 25p.
It’s safe the say the blooms were definitely past their best, causing some shoppers to lay into Wilko workers for letting them die.
“Wilko needs to train their staff on how to look after plants, all the stores I go to have unwatered and unloved plants,” one slammed.
A second agreed: “Can’t understand why they can’t be bothered to water the plants, they’re not even worth buying if they’re dead.”
Another commented: “Annoys me!! why don’t they have one dedicated person just to water the poor things?”
But some gardening fans disagreed they were a waste of money, and insisted the plants could be brought back to life if you know how.
“If you know what you’re doing than a dead plant can come back like mine did. Bought for 10p last month,” one said, sharing a snap of a thriving potted plant.
Someone else agreed the plants were a bargain at that price – if you know what you’re doing.
“Most of my flowers were dead and now there blooming front garden,” she wrote.
“I got loads of trays of reduced ‘dead’ flowers and hanging baskets from Wilko a few months back.
“They’ve all come back to life and my garden looks lovely for the grand total of £6. Worth a try for that price,” another said.
