I purchased this set of hanging plants to replace the really cheap/stinky/overall awful “plants” that came with this potted plant litter box I recent bought. I’d read several reviews about how bad the plants that were included were, so I anticipated that and planned ahead. I actually liked the idea of hanging plants more than a bush/stand up thing anyways. I must’ve browsed through dozens of different listings on here after hopelessly scouring through a craft store’s website (I have never really bothered to buy artificial plants/flowers before and I was shocked at how expensive they can be) before finally deciding to try this one, and hope for the best. I always rely on buyer reviews that provide actual product pictures they took whenever I make a purchase on Amazon, and I’m glad I did because holy guacamole- this set is FANTASTIC for an even more phenomenal price! I was expecting to have to leave them on my outdoor patio for a few days or longer because they’re plastic and I figured they’d really stink, however that was definitely not the case. They do smell like plastic when you open them, as they’re stored and shipped in a plastic bag (inside a box so no worries about them getting smooshed), so you should let them air out overnight (I only left them out for a night and the odor was gone, I didn’t smell it when I was trimming them the next morning.I will say, they are a bit thin/sparse, but not unsightly so. If you want a really full looking setup, perhaps buy extras and pop off the leaf attachments and double up on another one to make it look fuller. For example: I actually only used 3 stems in the final product image, not 4 stems. I actually trimmed them down a good bit and also plucked the 4th stem’s leafs off to double up every single leaf piece on the 3 stems I was using and boom- the end result was exactly what I wanted! It really wasn’t a difficult project by any means, they pop right off and pop right back on- even when you’re adding a second piece to the thingy. I would definitely recommend cutting off the annoying curl parts at the end of each branch, they’re incredibly irksome as they cause the pieces to get tangled immediately after you untangle them, and they’re useless look wise considering you don’t even see the dumb things. The plastic branches do not have any wiring inside at all, and they’re easy to cut with kitchen scissors or craft scissors. These are just really easy to work with and you seriously can’t beat the price.Best part: they’re fully plastic and you can just rinse them off and clean them whenever they get dusty.
