Oh David my sister said the same thing. ...............................
"They also seem to jump into Blinking yer skin from a distance." They do have a bite. I sat on them one time. Talk about pain for a long, long, time.
I send boxes of them every year because I have so many. But.....I always wrap them in styrofoam inside the mailing box. on the outside of the styrofoam is a note .....
DO NOT TOUCH!!!!! DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO PLANT. DUMP THEM ON THE GROUND AND RUN!!!
You do not have to plant them they will plant themselves. If you want to move them get a stick and put them in the direction you want them to go.
David they are a novel plant in our climate. I get so many compliments and comments. I get more comments on the cactus than I get about my tropical plants. It is worth the pain.
