I didn't think I could be so excited over a faux plant. Maybe its the quarantine , but its just really lovely getting up and walking into my living room and seeing greenery (regardless if its fake!). My cat and my roommates dog seem to be fooled by it, as they are constantly approaching it throughout the day...only to sniff and be reminded. Heads up!, there was really no secure way of packaging this plant... so take care when you are pulling it out of the box. The basket holds a lot of imitation needles and what not so it can come loose rather easily and get all over your floor.
