I need 20 but may only get 10 depending how much they are. Brugs are such virus prone plants I always use new pots. I finally bought a bunch of clay pots the other day for my clivia/succulents and darn on the way home if I didn't slam on my brakes suddenly to avoid instant death and they went CRACK CRACK CRACK. Then I opened the back door and if they were not alread broken when they tumbled out and hit the road they sure were. Made me nuts. Ask me how hard it is to be me these days.

The one thing about succulents is you need to get ones that stay small. I have seen such messy gardens that have overgrown ones. And they can be so mean and hurtful to keep trimmed back.

I saw a very cool aloe today at OSH. All the HD and OSH I went to had new succulents in. I saw very fat and chunky variegated Euphobia ammaks. They had great arms coming off. I love them but I already have 4 of them so I walked away. My biggest one is over 8 feet tall and getting taller. Also better than decent Pachypodium geayi, better than the one I bought several years ago because of the PINK stripe down the middle of the leaves.

Here are some I saw.
