DavidLMO said:I detest those things. Hard to say how long they will stay that way. The marketing jerks and execs that allow that trashing of plants should be shot. I do not know what the "base" of the dye used is or I might suggest something. I have never observed one closely as I am repulsed. Thumbs down

I don't know is blasting them gently with a water stream would work. Maybe someone can chime in.


I agree water should get some paint off. If it's warm enough for cacti outside leave outside so natural rain will wash them off and give much needed sunlight as the paint blocks the leaves from photosynthesis.
