If you don’t have a special someone to give you 12 roses this Valentine’s Day, that’s okay, because Aldi is giving you something better: a fiddle leaf fig that only costs (a little more than) $12.

The supermarket chain has announced that, from now until stocks last, they’ll be selling fiddle leaf figs in 10-inch textured pots for the unbelievably low, low price of $12.99.

This is a deal that you shouldn’t pass up, especially if you’re on a budget. In other places, like Walmart, a similarly-sized fiddle leaf fig costs $59.99, while at The Home Depot, the houseplant costs $69.98. The Sill, meanwhile, offers their figs at $85.

Although known for its stunning guitar-shaped leaves, the fiddle leaf is also known for being fickle, making it a difficult plant for beginners. That’s why it’s smart to not splurge on a fig you could end up killing in just a few weeks. Aldi’s $12.99 fiddle leaf offers the chance to learn how to care for one without breaking the bank.

And, if you’re the one giving gifts this season of hearts, Aldi is also offering other budget-friendly foliage, such as ferns and snake plants, for $12.99 each, while a five-inch money tree can be yours for only $8.99.

As always, you’d have to go to one of Aldi’s stores to buy their limited finds. Before heading out, it’s best to call ahead using their store locator to ask for product availability.
