Serse you're soo in the wrong place for that!! We're (speaking totally for myself!) Are the addicts here!! Rolling on the floor laughing
But meanwhile...Don't do it! Or don't go over your budget! Go take a walk, put down the electronic device (see I even have SMG on my phone! So I could make an order whenever Blinking ) Make it a project to look for Hens&chicks in your neighborhood!
I'll do the same and share some photos! I tip my hat to you.

But you only got two plants, didn't you serse? They might be lonesome. You do know they are big into large families?
But only if you can support them in the manner they are accustomed to.

You also might want to wait until you can get enough to fill the small Priority size box. That way you get your monies worth with the postage.
Don (SMG) can let you know how many he can fit into that size box. Lovey dubby

Excellent advice, Lynn! I didn't order any yet (they've been just sitting 'in my cart' on another tab haha) so I will email him and ask about it! And this may sound silly, but what do you mean by "manner they are accustomed to"? *Blush*

I was just pulling your leg serse. Teasing. Group hug

Then some times I have to stop myself by asking will I be able to afford food for the house if I buy that many? Blinking
I like to eat. And I certainly don't want to eat my semp babies. Whistling

I try to buy a few from each of our online nurseries each year. I am so grateful to them for what the provide, all those new varieties. I happen to know that a couple of the nurseries brought new semps from Germany last year. May be a couple years before there are sufficient quantities to offer them for sale. But I will be first in line. Hurray!

whew! you had me a little nervous there! I was about to start up some serious research! Blinking

Succulents are officially where all of my extra spending money has been going *Blush* I just keep telling myself that its a gift that keeps on giving, and adding a little nature and green into my life is a far better choice than some of the other things that I could spend it on! Lovey dubby

Also- Lynn, you mentioned my new Jovis might like the cold- do you think I should keep them outside?? Its been in the 30s. Would they like that better than the indoors?

They would much prefer being outdoors, so would your new semps when they arrive.

Great to know! I guess I've just always thought of succulents as hot weather plants, so I've been overly cautious about freezing the poor little things! I'll move them on outside!
