Two LEGO plant models featuring a pink and green plant character with a happy expression, and a brown plant character with purple flowers, showcasing a playful design.

Whimsical potplants are back. After last year’s 10349 Happy Plants and the 11506 Rocking Plants, from May, we have a third set of potted plants, living their best life. Just as the weather starts to turn a bit cold and gloomy in Northern Latitudes, 10371 Cozy Plants arrives on the scene. This model has 248 pieces and will be released on November 1st 2026. The set is priced at $AUD29.99 / $USD22.99 / €19.99 / £17.99. You can find it here, on LEGO.com.

The LEGO Group was kind enough to send a copy over to review…
Does this set maintain the whimsy of the predecessors? Or are they just taking a lazy weekend? Read on for more.

The set comes in a relatively small, dark greencardboard box, and contains four numbered bags and two numbered manuals. (Why did it take me until now to realise these botanical boxes are no longer the standard black of the ICONS sets? The strip along the base of the box is predominantly lavender, with medium nougat and medium lavender highlights.

Two LEGO instruction booklets from the Botanicals series, one featuring a purple plant pot with flowers and the other showing a gold watering can with a plant.

The first manual shows a lavender-coloured pot with some chamomile plants, sitting up and sipping a cup of tea. The second brings us a peppermint plant in a medium nougat pot. They are lying down, reading an open book at their own pace.

Here are the elements, laid out for your inspection.

An assortment of colourful building blocks laid out on a white surface, including various shades of brown, green, purple, and yellow pieces. The layout features rectangular, circular, and plant-shaped components, some with facial expressions.

As well as a selection of plates and tiles, this set also provides a few copies of the 1x1x2 curved slope element, shaving a plate off its height, compared with what was possible a couple of years ago. We also get the 1x2x5/3 SNOT bricks in lavender, for the first time since it debuted in the Beauty and the Beast Castle last year, along with 1x2x1 SNOT Bricks in medium nougat. Chamomile features a mix of standard foliage elements, plus claw elements and branched bright green stems. The peppermint brings us the larger leaf element, in bright green for the first time in a Botanical set, capped off with some medium lavender flower elements.

The Build: Chamomile

The cozy plants take a leaf from the construction of previous models in this range, but build up the core of the pot and add tiled panels with rounded curves to the front and back, while providing connection points for the arms and legs to be added afterward.

One thing that was apparent in the poor light that I was building in was the variation in the lavender pigment between different molds, with some appearing less saturated than others. This is a weak area in my color perception, and I found some elements appearing almost totally grey to my eye, but I’d be interested in how you perceive it.

The Chamomile plant has a small root at the base and sits easily in the center of the pot. Doesn’t it look happy there, with a cup of warm tea, knowing that all is good in the world?

Building the Peppermint

The medium nougat pot is a little shorter than the lavender coloured one, and there have been some changes made to the core, particularly the arrangement of studs to support the front and rear panels.

On the rear panels, hinge elements angle the pot’s legs so they can be turned outward. The front panel also brings the arms around to the front, while we then build a small open book to rest them on. The face has a contented smile.

The flowers are a relatively simple build, bringing some simple stalks from the center of the plants and filling in some flowers.

Again, carefree and content.

Side by side, these cozy plants are happy with their own company.

There are a few differences between these plants and the earlier versions in this series: the arms are supported by a stud to the front, rather than on an axle/pin arrangement on each side . This has implications for displaying them together, as modifications are required to let them hold hands with each other or others in the series.

Personally, I love the variations between all of these plants – like any group of friends, they may not all be beating to the same drum at the same time.

These pots in particular take advantage of some of the smoother curves and tiles in the system at present, allowing the pots to be built without any visible studs, should you wish. The lavender reminds us that the model is made of LEGO bricks by displaying 4 studs around the rim of the pot (similar to the yellow Happy Plant and the pink Rocking Plant.) A few years ago, we would never have imagined this sort of display being possible.

I did, however, find myself pining for the 8-bit studded goodness of the 1980s recently. While sorting through a bulk lot that I picked up at a market, this happened:

A cheerful yellow LEGO block with a smiling face, topped with a green, stylised tree, surrounded by colourful LEGO plant pots with various plants.

Overall, I found the cozy plants a fun addition to the ‘Happy Plants’ collection. The builds are fun and satisfying, and different enough to the Happy and Rocking plants to be worthwhile additions. You could easily share the experience with a friend or family member. I was disappointed in the variations in Lavender pigments.

I missed being able to have them hold hands with the others in the series, however, the change in arm location provides fresh inspiration for how you might build your own, in whatever colours you have available. Want to build in a colour not yet featured in the Happy Plant series yet? Don’t worry: you can fix that with a fine black Sharpie and a sense of whimsy!

What do you think of the cozy plants? Necessary to complete the collection? Or is it something to start off a new collection for you?
