They also dip Amaryllis bulbs in colored/glitter wax for Christmas. They are pretty, and popular right now, but it kills the bulb. If you are diligent, you can remove the wax, damaging the bulb, but the bulb can survive. But I would never buy one, no matter how pretty. You would think that with those succulents they could find something to spray them with that would not kill them -- a light glitter spray in a beneficial oil/soap or something like that.
