Nearly Natural Begonia Hanging Basket

I strongly recommend that you do NOT pull the stems out to ...
I was a bit wary of getting a flowering artificial plant, but this one far exceeded my expectations. I had to move some of the branches around so the "growth" was uniform around the plant, but that only meant carefully bending the larger stems to move them where I wanted them. I strongly recommend that you do NOT pull the stems out to move them, that will greatly weaken the system and the stems are full of leaves and flowers, and fairly heavy, and will likely fall out later on. The plant is lovely and looks very real, even from close up. A pleasant surprise. Again, this importer has the very best artificial plants. I have this one and one of their spider plants at one end of a front porch that is enclosed with storm windows. In the summer it can get very hot on that porch and real plants do not stand a chance of living in that. But these are almost trouble free. I expect, about twice a year, to carry them into the kitchen and use the sink sprayer to carefully spray some water on the leaves to get the dust off. Small price to pay for plants that do exactly what I wanted them to do. This particular plant is spectacular.

Nice Faux Flowers, Cheap Hanger
The flowers and basket are very nice. The overall appearance is lovely; although close-up, the plants are obviously fake, from a distance, they look real. I bought two and they were not exactly the same so on my porch, they truly do look different enough to be real. What disappointed me, however, was the hanger. It was twine, and cheap twine at that. The twine is tied so that the pot can be adjusted so that it hangs evenly. One of the plants' hangers was falling apart. We retied it and hung them both outside. It was a breezy day - August in New England is not a windy time - and there was no storm. The next morning, both of the pots were sideways because the hanger knots had slipped. I bought three black metal hangers (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X2S2P32?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details) for $12.99 and these plants look fabulous!!! Honestly, for the cost of these plants, better hangers, which cost me retail less than $4, would take them up a notch. My recommendation is that you buy these plants but buy new hangers at the same time and save yourself some grief.

Simply GORGEOUS!!!
These plants are just beautiful and I can't tell you how many compliments I get on these hanging baskets. They seemed a little pricey at first, but when I considered real plants - the costs was about the same or more. Plus you have to water, prune and baby real plants. The Morning Glory (purple) was my first purchase and it has weathered a couple of months of wind and rain very nicely. I just received the Begonia (red) today and it's just wonderful! They pack these plants very well for shipping. The only negative is the hanging basket they come with (though beautiful) have rope hangers that were difficult to hang level - the plant was always tilted. I purchased an inexpensive plant hanger and it's now perfect!! Love these very much!!

Lasts for many many years
This is my second purchase of this series of hanging baskets and I couldn't be happier. The other lasted for many years outside on my front porch and was still in good enough shape that it is now hanging from my back porch. This new red plant was bought to change up the look of the front of the house and looks absolutely lovely out there. Other than when the Florida hurricane winds come blowin' I plan to keep it out there for many many years. Great purchase....great price....great quality!

A Simple Deception
I think "Nearly Natural" is a good name for this plant basket. From a distance they seem quite real once you fiddle with the fronds a bit. So far, they haven't gotten tested by rain, which is my main concern, since we get a lot of unplanned drizzlies here. I intend to put these out spring thru summer, as if they were an annual but without the upkeep. My neighbors will never know the difference.

Nice Presentation
Very pleased with the presentation given the price. We bought 3 slightly different ones at same price point/brand. These hang on our porch and look real unless you're a foot away. Being on a porch our prior real flowers would never get enough sun and would start to look bad halfway thru the season, even with the hassle of daily watering. These are a perfect solution.

Nice look and excellent quality
Very nice look and quality is excellent. Placed in a pot rather than using the basket. Looks very pretty on the white wicker coffee table on the front, covered porch.

Recommend replacing twine if using outdoors
I bought this for outdoors at the cabin. They look very nice, my only complaint is that the twine that it hangs on is cheap and broke on several of them. I understand that having them outdoors with the weather elements is probably why they failed, so if you plan to have this indoors it will be just fine. I ended up buying some chains to replace the twine and they are holding up much better and I'm sure will last a lot longer.
