Stop Buying Spray Painted Plants for Christmas

This is going to be controversial, but stop buying spray painted plants! They are suffering, can't photosynthesize and will die fast just so you can come back and buy more!
If you're going to buy something for Christmas, a better idea is to choose real 'natural' plants, or if you want a festive decoration, just choose something that will last forever. Spray painted succulents or glittered aloes are not an eco friendly option.

Well said. I feel the same way about all the poinsettia plants murdered over the festive season and the new year... Depressing AF.

Yes! I saw tons of them covered in glitter and people buy them every Christmas even if they die 😑 So frustrating.
