Plants at our local Aldi are a bit of a joke - they look great the day they arrive but a couple of days later they're all dead in their trays. Seems like staff training does not include the need to add water...

A sheltered spot that gets sun , don't overwater it , stand the pot off the ground on bricks or pot stand as they don't like to stand in water . Mix compost and grit when repotting to aid drainage. .

Bought one of these last year, still going strong survived outside over the winter.
Can be used for cooking as it's a Laurus Nobilis on the label.

Check that you're happy before cooking with it rather than just taking my word for it!

How long is a piece of string?

Thanks for the tip, the local Aldi is 5 mins from work so popped down and they probably had about 10 of these , so I picked up 2 of the double stem ones. All healthy. They also had fig and Olive (£14.99) trees same 3.5L tub but there were only a few of those so perhaps that was stock from earlier in the week.

Missus picked two up this morning. They look nice. Just got to look after them now. Thanks OP.

Bay leaf tree?

Got one last year but only single spiral left at that time, it is doing very well.
Saw something like 20 in Didsbury this morning both single and double spiral
