Caelie Wilkes from California didn't have great success growing succulents, so when someone gifted her a healthy looking plant she did some research to make sure she took good care of it.  She watered it regularly and even washed it's leaves.  She kept it in her kitchen window to make sure it had the appropriate amount of sun for about two years before she realized it was plastic.  She said she feels a little foolish, now that she knows she's been taking care of it with such care.  Fake plants usually weigh so much less than real ones.  She seems to have a great sense of humor and doesn't take herself too seriously!
