Plants are an extremely popular accessory in homes.
A Facebook user apparently got a special bargain at the garden center.
Kassel - An elephant's foot is a popular, but also quite large houseplant.
Depending on the size, the price can also quickly rise.
A user posted a particularly beautiful specimen on Facebook for a small price - which excited other plant fans.
Facebook user posts her special plant find
Users post the pieces they have purchased in the Facebook group “We are Garden - Houseplants”.
Plant owners can also get helpful tips on purchasing and caring for them.
A user posted her newly purchased elephant foot and had a question: “You have me on my conscience.
Had to take it to the garden center today.
I have no idea whether the price is right.” As she wrote further, she had only paid 25 euros for a 75 centimeter high elephant foot and was not sure whether it was a good price.

In no time, the post about the elephant's foot went viral and received more than 550 reactions.
Hundreds of comments also came together under the photo of the apparently special elephant foot.
The other users were enthusiastic about the find – and especially about the price.
“What kind of garden center did you go to?”
“It was definitely priced incorrectly,” said one user due to the low price.
Examples of this type can cost well over 50 euros in some markets.
Facebook users are enthusiastic about the special elephant foot
Other Facebook users in the garden group weren't so sure whether the elephant's foot was really a bargain.
“We also have them in the Bauhaus for 25 euros,” wrote one.
But most users were sure about one thing: “What a beautiful foot.
It's nice that you adopted him, I would have paid the price too." However, there was disagreement about whether the plant needed to be repotted soon.
Several users gave the skeptical note that “it will definitely have to be repotted soon”.
Others, however, said that the buyer should "not repot it or not repot it too big" - "they like it tight." The users of the Facebook group wished them good luck with the care and gave some tips on how to avoid watering elephant feet too much should be, as
