LEGO is once again doing what actual houseplants can’t: surviving your living room. This summer, the Botanicals collection expands with two new sets—LEGO Botanicals Hibiscus Flower [10372] and LEGO Botanicals Mini Bonsai Trees [10373]—and both are squarely aimed at adults who prefer stress relief in the form of carefully clicking tiny bricks.
First up is the Hibiscus Flower, a 660-piece set that lets you build five large lavender blooms with bright yellow stamens, along with a handful of smaller buds in varying stages of bloom. The petals and leaves are poseable, so you can mess around with the arrangement, and it all comes housed in a dark blue plant pot for display. Finished, it stands over 14 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and 5 inches deep. It’ll set you back US$69.99 when it lands on August 1st.
Then there’s the Mini Bonsai Trees, a 709-piece set that lets you create not one, but three tiny trees: a ginkgo with yellow leaves, a black pine with green needles, and a wisteria draped in lilac blossoms. Foliage is interchangeable, so you can swap styles when the mood hits, and the set includes two ornamental stands so your little trees don’t look like they’ve been benched. The tallest tree measures over 7 inches high, 5.5 inches wide, and 4 inches deep. This one goes for US$64.99, and unlike the hibiscus, it’s available for pre-order now.
If your version of gardening includes zero watering, no soil, and absolutely no risk of anything dying, these two might just be your kind of flora.
