Hello, I am interested in getting some new cacti/succulents. Can you please e-mail me at jolly_rancherscream@hotmail.com

I have two large Blue Glows in copper planters on a stone patio. We live at the coast where the temperatures don't usually exceed 78. Whenever there is a heat wave and the temperature goes up to 85 or above, my agaves scorch. I was surprised to learn that metal planters on a stone patio create a temperature as high as 150 degrees. Consequently, I move them into the shade when the weather heats up. I hated looking at the ugly scorch marks so I painted them! The flesh is dead anyway so paint won't hurt them. I mixed acrylic paint to match the leaves and painted all the scorch marks. They look beautiful again and my husband couldn't tell where they were painted.
