RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Clara Scully responded to the home to safely capture the lizard.
"A member of the public got more than they bargained for with this plant. This little fella was hidden in the leaves! He is now safe awaiting transfer for his new home by one of our exotic officers," Scully said.
The RSPCA said the gecko is native to warmer climates and would likely not survive in the wild in Britain.
