Spray painted succulents at the grocery store. Hurts my heart. This can’t possibly be not-bad for them!

      Yeah? Wouldn’t it hurt with getting sunlight?

      They are not fine. Most of them die from lack of light. If you go to Home Depot they usually have them there, and then you can walk 20 feet over to their clearance rack and almost always find the last shipment of them there because they’re dying.

    Ya I think it would block sunlight. And it can't produce oxygen because it is blocking the pores.

    Not healthy in the least bit. It inhibits their growth potential their ability to make chlorophyll. Why do people have to do things that are against nature?

    Yeah these guys can’t get light because, well, the paint covers them up. They all die eventually, or if you’re lucky get new leaves fast enough to live. My other fav are the plastic flowers glued onto cacti. Those don’t seem to be a death sentence tho, just kinda tacky looking.
