I am so, so happy with these! I usually buy my succulents from Home Depot or even BJ's if the have one in stock, but it's been getting a little pricey now since they're so popular and I can rarely find different varieties. So I decided to buy some online, I was skeptical at first. I didn't want to buy these and have them come to me rotten or broken.
Thankfully, that didn't happen.
They came wrapped in in little clear bags with a rubber band around so that the soil didn't go flying everywhere and so the plants stay in their pots, the box was also filled with white foam and the plants were tucked underneath. The plants also came with a little card that tells you how to take care of them.
I received my five succulents and only one had a leave with a little scar which really isn't a big dream, they're all perfect and healthy. I excepted them to at least be dried out but the soil is a little moist and they're healthy. All five were different which I really love! And my Kalanchoe(large flap like leaves, red tips), is actually two! Two have been potted and grown! So it's like I received 6.
I tugged off any dead leaves at the bottom, it's normal for succulents to shed their older ones. And now they all look great. I'm definitely going to order more since they're so easy to care for.
Update: I wasn't very satisfied with the selection of plants I received and the fact that a few were either damaged or in bad shape when I got them BUT I forwarded my review to the seller and they went above and beyond to make it right. They sent me a new box with a better selection that were carefully packaged. I am now totally satisfied with my purchase and I found it so refreshing that the seller made sure I was happy. I recommend giving this product a try!
First review: I had been considering buying succulents for awhile, I live in Arizona so I can provide plenty of sunshine and warm weather and I just love the way they look. These cuties caught my eye especially, I liked the vibrantly colored succulents that were displayed in the picture, as well as the idea of getting a unique variety of succulents in my order. I was so excited for their arrival, I ordered succulent pots, decided on the best place to display them, and thought about what UNIQUE, COLORFUL plants might be in my package. Although I am a beginner to the succulent world, I do think it's fair to say that what I got was neither unique or colorful. While each appeared to be a different type, they didn't seem that different and every single one was green. It's not that I mind the green as much as I was under the impression that I might get at least one with colors that stood out. The box was packed with protective packing peanuts, which I appreciate, but each plant was on its side and two seemed either damaged or in bad shape. One of these two had broken leaves scattered throughout the box. These succulents were inexpensive and I'm sure I will enjoy them, but I was pretty disappointed and I ultimately wish I had gone with a different seller. I hope I just got a bad batch and others have better luck.
SO SO SO HAPPY! These plants are adorable! I've recently become mildly obsessed with succulents but can't really find them around where I live this time of year. I thought it might've been risky to order plants on Amazon but with the price point being so great, I HAD to try.
And I am NOT disappointed at all. Even though these were shipped ALMOST ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, they're in great shape. Understandable wear and tear one a couple but nothing serious at all - you probably won't even be able to see it in the pictures. They're fully intact and look GREAT.
Some of these even came with 2 plants in one so I was able to separate them (shown in pictures).
I will DEFINITELY be purchasing from this seller again. Probably sometime soon...because I have an addiction.
Upon arrival... three (3) looked wonderful, one (1) was okay and one (1) was really struggling. It was hard to tell at that point but they all kinda looked the same. So I was skeptical.
Four (4) were well packed and one appeared to have been tossed in the box and NOT well packed. Not sure what happened with that one but it was dry and looked bad. I didn't think it would survive.
But after a just a few days in some good soil, they all 5 appear to be thriving and they are all different.
I carefully went through all the reviews and decided it was worth the chance to order these! I ordered a quantity of Two. I've attached 6 photos of the 10 plants I received. My delivery was delayed about a week but the plans seem to be in good condition! I received two sets of the same 5 plants which was fine by me (these are for Christmas gifts. I figured that by ordering early I could nurse them to health before gifting them.) two plants were beautiful and reddish pink! I also received two plants of the same type that both seemed damaged so I assume it doesn't ship well. There was extra soil in the containers that I could not fit in the pot so that's why it's on top of them in the box. I also removed this from my mailbox on its side although a sticker told my mailman not to do so. I'm very happy with my purchase :)

These succulents arrived in excellent shape--in cold, rainy weather. They were boxed & wrapped securely to protect them from the weather. All 5 succulents are a different plant & all are doing well after almost 4 weeks in my house. Included is a card of plant care which I followed meticulously since I do not have a green thumb & have never cared for succulents. When you receive them, let them settle in to your house temperature for 24 hours & then check if dry. If needed, water sparingly. I put them in indirect light - not direct sunlight. I plan to replant them together into a decorative planter & purchased Hoffman's organic succulent soil mix & Miracle-Gro succulent liquid plant food. There are several small plant tool kits available on Amazon that make care & handling of these plants easy. I definitely recommend this seller to a first or ongoing buyer.
LOVE THESE! These were well packaged in a box within another box. Had a heat pack inside as well. Buying a bigger pack. The variety, size, and health of these little guys was excellent! Here are photos of the inner box/packaging that held my 5 plants.
I see some reviews are for different sellers. I thought it might depend on location, but I'm in Austin, TX, and my plants came from Shop Succulents in Riverside, CA.
They arrived in good shape. I transplanted to pots within 24 hours and water them every 10-14 days. Six weeks later they still look great, so if anything happens to them now, I'd have to say that will be my fault. I will be ordering more as gifts.
I also got the pots here on Amazon and was going to post links, but none of them are available anymore. Just search "succulent pots" and you'll quickly find loads of them.
This arrived today from an order placed two days ago. It was delivered via UPS, so make sure someone is available to answer the door if you’re not home.
The plants are overall 4.75/5, the only reason it’s not a perfect 5 is because one of the plants seems a little exhausted, but that is most likely due to the weather New York has been having. The overall quality and customer service are positive.
I would recommend this product if you’re thinking of purchasing succulents.
Update-2/19/19: one of the little flat ones is dead. I thought it would recover. But it didn't. And the one next to the open space isn't looking good. Leaves are looking wrinkly when they previously weren't. New photo added.
Update: it's been a couple weeks and one of the succulents has lost a few leaves, but the others seem to be doing okay.
I asked for a succulent garden for Christmas, and when I didn't get one, I bought this set of plants plus the white container (also Amazon).
They arrived within the time stated, they are all alive and were packaged nicely. I wish the color variety was more akin to the photo, but at least they are all different.
I took photos as I unboxed. I planted them in succulent/cactus medium. I'll update after I see how they fare.
