I loved receiving these little guys every month I did for a year but unfortunately several came with a mealy bug infection which got so out of hand it spread to my other cacti and I lost a lot of valuable cacti from my collection because of it. A total of 5 out of the 12 I've received died within a month due to the bugs and I've got 2 which are touch and go. So unfortunately spending every month trying to get on top of the infections it got too much. Especially when they spread to my others which I've had for years that not only had monetary value but also very personal value. Other wise the pots and other bits that come with them are great and it was good fun getting the surprises every month
