This saddens me.

I think they're cute, I'd stick them in with other (real) plants.

Real cacti and succulents are so easy to care for that this seems really pointless.

There should be a third choice in the poll: lukewarm. That's where I am on these.

I think they're interesting, conceptually...and they have a nice likeness to the real plants.

these are the coolest (unless ya think about dusting them), though not completely original. I had seen some flowers (don't remember which kind) that were for sale at the Getty and also at Paper Source, wanted to buy em but thought they were just a little to feminine these (again) are pretty cool & pretty butch!

I wanted to like them, but I don't. Maybe seeing them in person would help ...

I like the Opuntia. It probably doesn't leave as many slivers as my real ones. The other ones, meh.

it would be cute if it was a container or something else useful.

Don't get these at all. None of the charm of the real thing.

I prefer the ceramic pieces by Michael Pfleghaar (pronounced "flä-gar").

I kill everything, and I mean everything, now this I would deal with.

I think they're really cute and a GREAT alternative for people like myself with cats who completely destroy every house plant I bring into my apartment!

Ha-ha, I absolutely love these. I kill absolutely every plant, even if it's designed to survive a nuclear meltdown. These are perfect for me.

Nah, don't really like them. They'd be a bitch to dust and I'd just rather have the real plants.

I like how they would make me feel like I live in heaven where everything is white and perfect always.

I have the blackest thumb on the planet so these would be perfect for me. I like real plants better but I kill them all. My apartment is a sad sad place plant wise.
