The $29 Kmart secret plant lovers are raving about

Kmart has done it again! The retail giant has long been a favourite among Australians for its affordable and stylish homewares, and now, a $29 item is taking the internet by storm. This time, it’s the Telescopic Shower Caddy that’s got everyone talking – but not for the reason you might think.

While the caddy is designed to keep your bathroom essentials organised, clever Aussies have discovered a whole new use for it, and it’s nothing short of genius. Plant lovers across the country are repurposing the shower caddy as a budget-friendly plant stand, and the results are stunning.

The idea first gained traction in a Facebook group called Crazy Indoor Plant People Australia, where one user shared their creative hack. ‘I just saw this $29 tension pole from Kmart and wondered if anyone uses it for their plants,’ they wrote. The post quickly went viral, with plant enthusiasts flocking to the comments to share their own experiences.

One user revealed they had been using the caddy as a plant stand for over a year. ‘I’ve been using mine for over 12 months now, we love it,’ they said. ‘Good for hanging plants, pot plants and plants that love to climb!’ Another chimed in, saying, ‘We have it in our lounge! The shelves are not very big though, so only small pots work.’

The caddy’s versatility and affordability have made it a hit, especially when compared to similar products on the market. Many users pointed out that the Kmart caddy is a much cheaper alternative to a $140 plant stand from Urban Jungle. ‘It looks so similar to the Urban Jungle one, but for a fraction of the price,’ one commenter noted.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re thinking of trying this hack. Some users cautioned against placing heavy pots or plants on the caddy, as it’s not designed to hold significant weight. ‘I wouldn’t put super heavy plants on them, but for my little ones, they’re perfect,’ one person advised.

Of course, not everyone is sold on the Kmart version. A few users expressed concerns about its durability, with one saying, ‘It’s a false economy paying less for the Kmart product when it breaks so easily.’ Another user, however, found a way to make the best of both worlds. ‘I’ve got both: the Kmart one in the shower for shower things… and the Urban Jungle one in the kitchen,’ they shared.

For those who love a good DIY project, the Kmart Telescopic Shower Caddy offers endless possibilities. Whether you’re looking to create a lush indoor garden or simply add a touch of greenery to your home, this $29 gem is a budget-friendly way to get creative.

Whether you’re a plant lover or just someone looking to organise on a budget, this versatile hack offers endless possibilities. What are your thoughts on this trend? Have you repurposed the caddy yourself, or do you have another clever hack to share? We’d love to hear about your creative ideas!
