At Trader Joe’s, it’s a given to expect the unexpected.
From its freezer aisle to limited time drops, shoppers never know what they’ll come across. Which is also why so many love a trip to the chain.
Now, fresh on the heels of its stunning plumeria trees, shoppers are finding even more tropical plants at the chain. This time though, shoppers aren’t buzzing across TikTok because of the new plants. But rather, because of the adorable cans they come in.

Trader Joe’s Mini Can Foliage
You read that right, these tropical plants come in adorable mini cans. As Trader Joe’s explains on its website, these cans are inspired by “some of our favorite canned products ever to grace our grocery shelves, including items from both the past and present.”
Mini Can Foliage, $4.99 each at Trader Joe’s
This time around, they’ve “been re-imagined as holders for a variety of beautiful tropical plants.” In other words, this collection looks like the ultimate repurpose.
Options Trader Joe’s shoppers can choose from and may recognize from the past are organic pumpkin, corn, tomato paste and green jackfruit cans. In typical Trader Joe’s fashion, they’re also stunningly affordable at just $4.99 per plant. Pick one (or more) up as decor for around the house or as a gift for the low-maintenance plant parent in your life, the chain suggests.

What Shoppers Had to Say About Trader Joe’s Mini Can Foliage Collection
So far, people can’t stop talking about these. Like one TikToker, who was urging shoppers to get one of their own before they’re gone.
“These are SO CUTE!” one shopper wrote. “Waiiiiit I need this,” someone else commented.
“Omg LOVE THESE,” another user praised. “How much because I need them all,” a different user asked.
There’s little doubt they’ll fly off shelves with how many people have already said they’re ready to run and snag one. Especially since these are another iconic Trader Joe’s limited time release.
So, as Trader Joe’s tells shoppers best: “just be sure to pick up your TJ’s Mini Can while you still can, because supplies are decidedly limited.”
