Astros are a good choice. Very hardy but give them a rocky soil. They tend to last longer.

It's my white whale. I have yet to own a cactus of that size. That if when I started I would have saved at least one cutting, I would definitely own one by now.

Dude,tell me about it!
Out of all the colors there are,there is no blue
The most common types sold are Coleus blumei,and Plectranthus scutellarioides,so yeah,there are different types.

I didn't even know there were that many. I know for sure they don't have all those varieties at the stores man.
And I love the deep purple ones. They are super cool. I may have to get me one.
