Needed a good filler plant for my metal olive baskets and something that would add height for a reasonable price. These fit the bill perfect and look very real, not artificial. I did add some landscaping stone to the bottom of the bucket for the plant to sit on. Original pot is small and black that plant comes in originally and I would put it in another pot. Packaging was done great. Plant was secured at bottom and really wasn’t smashed into box so minimal fluffy was needed. I do bring the plant inside during inclement weather to help prolong the longevity.
