Dear #Greggers, Word to the wise: Don’t. Buy. These! They start to flower and it stinks! Be forwarned! The smell attracts flies like no one’s business and it’s just gross! 🤢 If I didn’t like the way it looks when it’s not in bloom, I would just seal it in a bag and take it out with the trash in the morning. Good grief! 😮💨🥃 I can’t breathe! 🤮 Send Help! 🫣 I wonder if the deer will eat it. Maybe not. 😵💫😵💫🚮 #PlantAddict #ThatsWhatIGet #SucculentSquad #YouHaveBeenWarnedAboutThisOne #PlantsThatStink #WhatTheSuckIndeed
