24-year-old Caelie Wilkes from California posted on Facebook to tell everyone about her "perfect plant" she'd had for two years.

The succulent she bought had stayed healthy the whole time she had it. Caelie had created a watering plan for the plant, cleaned its leaves like it needs, and it sat in her kitchen window for two years.

The plastic plant was stuck into some Styrofoam, and had sand glued on top of the foam to look more realistic.
