That makes for a lot of little kids and folks with poor? taste. How many Lowe's, Home Depots and Wal-Marts are there? Each with a few racks of these things. That's a lot of dyed and glued succulents of some sort. The painted ones currently at the local Wal-Mart are Haworthias of a type similar to fasciata, so all the natural white lines are completely obscured. I suspect it's some kind of water based paint, so I think eventually the paint would disappear and the plant would have normal growth. I'm not too sure anyone who bought them would want the natural plant though.
