Just realized I wasted $60 on a 'rare' succulent that was just a painted cactus
Saw this cool blue cactus at a plant fair last year and the seller said it was a special hybrid. Turns out it was just a regular one spray painted, and it died after a few months. Felt pretty dumb for not checking it over better. Anyone else get tricked by a fake plant sale?

That's a bummer, but you can't always spot a fake from a quick look.

Check the base of the plant for paint drips or weird texture. Sellers get sneaky but the bottom usually gives it away. It's a hard lesson but you'll spot fakes easier now.
