Happy Sunday everyone...well, I work at a large retailer in the garden dept. We sell Cactus and Succulents, and have hesitated buying them because very often they begin to look unhealthy. I believe it is most likely due to the soil material they are shipped in. The other day I found these two, a "Baby Toes" and a Hibotan...both with peculiar blooms and thought they would make an interesting and fun little display. My question is- these were the only 2 of each we had in stock that were "blooming"...are "blooms" rare on these? And, is there anything I could do to promote more?
