I purchased 2 of this for my front porch. I always get heartbroken every time the real plants I put at our front porch dies because of lack of sunlight and different weather conditions and seasons. So I decided to put faux plants instead. These geranium hanging  plants look so real that no one can tell the difference unless they come to touch it and look at them close up. So for these reasons, I highly recommend this item. A great buy with a great price too compared to faux plants sold in plant stores.
