Graptopetalum Tactius Bellus super star

I paid for 2 of these wonderful succulents unfortunately when they arrived they were both infested with mealy bugs. I informed shipper and they credited me immediately and told me I could keep the plants if I wanted to try to save them. I am currently still isolating them and fighting the mealy bugs no win on either side yet. I was very please with the superb packing and immediate customer service I received only wish that the plants had not succomed to mealy bugs. A few years back I had received 2 healthy ones of this same variety.
