Better than real.
The leaves look real. They are just a bit smaller than the ivy I have seen but that doesn't take away from their attractiveness. I would have given a 5 star rating but some of the leaves fell off in the package and when I stapled them on to a branch, the plastic broke. If I didn't press hard upon the plastic it did not break. "Learning through doing" always exacts a price. I stapled 10 of the 12 vines on to a one inch thick by 15 inch long branch, strung it with fishing line and hung it in a corner of my bathroom. Now I can have the warm look of a hanging plant without dealing with the soil flies that often occupy live plants.
