fake plant ideas?

I bought a few fake plants from our local arts/crafts store. They were significantly cheaper than online "reptile" decorations, AND on sale for half off!!! :banana: I have been playing with the idea of adding some greenery to our leo's enclosure for awhile, to provide him some more cover and security. But now that I have some to use, I can't quite think of what to do.

The plants have these super long, inflexible stems, and they are quite large. I want to figure out how to secure them into position so they don't get knocked over BUT I still want to be able to remove them fairly easily for cleaning purposes. I was thinking of cutting the stems back, and somehow securing the foliage to something movable like a small rock or piece of wood or something? Maybe with a hot glue gun? Let me know what you guys think, I need artistic/logistics advice!! :confused:

What about trimming the stems and glueing suction cups to them?

Suction cups usually come with hooks, but I do have some that have narrow slots instead. A good time to look is right now. Some are sold for holiday lighting. Adams is the brand I have. I've actually removed the hooks and just used the cup part.

Suction cups stay attached to glass longer when one uses vegetable oil to moisten the suction cup instead of water.
