These are cool because they are like hanging art. I didn't realize how small they would be :( You can likely fit only a 4" internal pot inside, so it must be a smaller and slow-growing plant. I bought 4" lemon button ferns and they are lovely--since these do not have drainage holes, planting first inside another pot with a drainage hole is a MUST. I used plastic planters with drainage hole, as well as river rocks and activated charcoal in the bottom of the planter to discourage root-rot/overwatering. This way you can also remove your plants for weekly watering. Also, we have high ceilings and the planters needed an additional chain and hook for each of them to hang properly and not too close to the ceiling. I would buy them again with this in mind!
