Not a completely new idea, but definitely fun.

Extremely cool but ridiculously expensive.

It doesn't work. I tried a DIY version... the plants try to grow back right-side up and just look awkward. The only way to keep them good looking is to only display them upside down occasionally, and that wouldn't really work with these. Plants have a sense of gravity... roots like to grow down... it might work for plants that naturally vine or trail, but most of the specimens here are just going to look like crap in the long run. It's a gimmick. Save your cash.

Doesn't the dirt fall on the floor if the plants get too dry?
