We purchased these to go in large outdoor pots for our entryway. I used landscaping rocks to stabilize them in side the pot. They look awesome. I thought they would look fake, but they definitely pass as real. We've already killed 2 of the real ones as it doesn't get much sunlight, so these are perfect! My only concern is longevity.... I hope they don't fade. Only time will tell though. As of now I am pleased with my purchase.
