Thanks! How did she handle the cacti with what looked like just rubber gloves?

 

[Michie]

Depends on the thickness of the gloves. But often grafted cactus is smooth at the bottom.

I know nothing about them. I saw these other succulents online which weren’t cacti and they came in blue, pink, lavender etc. that’s really what I wanted but I can’t find any. Maybe I can grow them from seed. Maybe they were photoshopped.

A lot of them are dyed. You can look up grafted cactus on YouTube for all the info. Grafted cactus is two different types of cactus grafted together. So there would not be any seeds.

Ok. I found a couple dyed cacti and some other succulents but those were obviously dyed.

Some are natural colors. Usually moon cactus is the colorful part grafted to the base. Be sure not to over water or they drown.

I saw a website a couple months ago that sold seeds that supposedly grow into something like these but I don’t know if it was for real or a rip-off. And I can’t find the site anymore.

I would say probably fake.

Btw- Tis the time of year. You can find these anywhere from Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowe’s.

Those are hen and chicks. I’d stay away from the dyed ones myself.

What are “hen and chicks”?

Yeah I think you’ll have better luck with the grafted cactus than the dyed hen and chicks.
The grafted cactus live about 20 years with the correct care.

The colored succulents you showed. People plant them in outdoor pots and in their yards. They propagate.
