I bought a faux plant for the front porch one year cause it needed something extra and there were no more plants to buy. I ended up leaving it on the table all winter long! That's the wonder of them. They never die! Glad I'm in good company! Have a great week!

I remember several years back adorning a friend's Christmas gift with some I had paid through the nose for at Joann's and could see from her expression that she thought it was odd. I wonder if she kept them...or wishes she had? I found some great artificial succulents at the dollar store this past spring. I like your idea of using real potting soil!Teddee Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421424667322543518noreply@blogger.com
