I've had a VERY abundant crop of spineless PPCs this year...would be happy to send you some small ones (6-8" tall) for the cost of the shipping (the 11 1/4" x 8 3/4" x 6" Priority Mail Flat Rate box is $11.35, and will hold 12-15, I'd estimate...the small box, @ 8 11/16" x 5 7/16" x 1 3/4" will hold about 6-8 and that runs $5.35). Let me know if you're interested, and I'll go harvest some...by the time you recieve them, they'll be ready to plant in a good sunny location, in a well-drained area or a large pot.
As previously mentioned, they need VERY little water, and over-watering is about the only way to kill them...
