Great succulents for the price. They arrive in pretty good shape and on time. I had to clean them up a bit and fill in a little soil, but they worked out perfectly for what I needed. I watered them upon arrival and then let them sit outside in the Texas sun for a day. Used them as party favors for a baby shower. Can't beat the price or convenience!
Multiple sellers share this listing so be sure to check the individual reviews before ordering. My package was shipped 2-day priority and when it arrived it looked like someone sat on it (USPS ftw). My plants came out almost unscathed, with a couple suffering minor breakages. All of them seemed to be alive, though one of them looks pretty squashed. Some have scarring and other imperfections. If you're looking for picture perfect plants, try one of the lots that are intended for wedding favors. I found that more than half of them were picture perfect. I removed one star for a squashed plant and because a couple of the pots had itty bitty plants (though there were multiples to make up for it) but it's not what I consider "as described." As you can see from my photos, I got several purple tinged plants, which I wasn't expecting but was pleased to see. I ended up with 6-7 rosette type succulents, which was also a nice surprise. Every one of my plants was different and there is a nice variety of color, texture and shape. I recommend this as it was really fun for starting my collection and trying to ID them all.
The plants all arrived in good condition. There was a fair amount of loose dirt in the boxes but all of the plants & root balls were still in their pots. Since I repotted all of them anyway, the loose dirt didn't faze me. Some of them had more than one stem and I was able to separate them so I ended up with more than 20 healthy plants. After a month, they are all still doing well.
Update: 07/26/18 — I ordered this collection a second time and have been just as happy with the 2nd purchase. All of the plants arrived alive and well. They were packed snuggly in a box filled with pleated paper strips to keep them from moving around and then that box was in a larger box with crumpled paper all around it. Again, there was some dirt in the inner box but all the plants and their root balls were in their individual pots. I watered everybody and tomorrow, when I put them in decorative pots, I'll brush the loose dirt off of them with a small paint brush. I'm very pleased with the assortment in this second order. I'd say at least half of them were not duplicated in the original order. "Shop Succulents" has been 5-star both times and I'm sure I'll be ordering again from them in the future.
It bought this variety pack of 20 succulents to make a floating island rock garden with my coffee table (also purchased on Amazon). The plants came well-packaged and thriving. I’m pleased with the assortment and how well they are serving in the capacity they’re in. The plants, while small, are just the right size for this installation and I look forward to seeing how this living centerpiece will change with time.
Succulents arrived a day early planted "the right way" in coco coir and perlite mixture. Sometimes you get these little succulents and they are in potting soil which isn't good for drainage. Packed extremely well, double boxed with finely shredded paper over the plant tops and a heating pack underneath. Included instruction sheet.
I bought these on a Lightning Deal to make arrangements for gifts. These usually cost about two dollars individually so it was a no-brainer. They are good beginners succulents. If your household is dry remember to water more often because this is not potting soil and does not become waterlogged like potting soil. In other words, the medium is more likely to dry much quicker. This can be remedied by either putting a piece of oasis or sponge underneath at the bottom of the soil to retain water or using glazed pots instead of glass, terracotta or plastic, or by keeping them in a humidity dome or covered terrarium.
I am satisfied with my purchase and being a person who ships many items on a daily basis, I was highly impressed by the packaging.
Edit: updated rating to reflect that plants have fungus gnats, which I have isolated to these plants. Still a good value. To fix, let soil dry out COMPLETELY to kill larvae. Put out a flytrap of apple cider vinegar or wine to catch living flies. Done.

Absolutely the best succulent collection I have ever seen. Each plant was a different variety, some that you rarely find. This is a terrific bargain!
I purchased two boxes of these succulents to give out as gifts at a bridal shower. They arrived well packaged and in excellent condition. When they arrived (before I even knew they were at my door) I received a call from the company to make sure the plants had arrived and I was satisfied with their condition. The representative I spoke to on the phone was very polite and said if I was unhappy with any of the plants for any reason to let him know and he would send me replacements. I received many compliments at the bridal shower on the succulents and everyone wanted to know where I got them from. I would definitely order these again the next time I want succulents.
I ordered these from the Amazon Treasure Truck. I had to pick them up but they were still boxed the same way I'd they were shipped. Naturally the dry dirt is sprinkled inside, no big deal, just a little messy when you start pulling everything out. So open them by the sink or outside. All 20 are a different succulent and look beautiful! I've had them for at least 2 weeks and so far so good. I've only repotted one but I haven't watered any yet. I'm so happy I got these. I've just spread them around my living room for now. Next to pictures, etc. They're adorable and tiny, I love them! Fingers crossed I don't kill them. I would buy again. The last photo is the only one I've repot Ted to go with the other 2 in the holder. So far so good!
These arrived faster than I had anticipated and all looked very healthy. I was very pleased with the variety I received and will most definitely order from this company again in the future. Now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I can keep them alive!
I was very reluctant to order plants from the internet. I needed these for gifts and needed them quickly. They were shipped in 2 days! When I opened the box I expected to see some plants unwell or overturned from shipping.
HOWEVER!!! THESE PLANTS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. Not only that, they are all very different. I immediately put them in a big pan with water. They are in the kitchen window soaking up indirect light. and looking very healthy. I wish I could keep all 50 of them! I will definitely buy these again. You will not be disappointed if you buy these plants from this seller. The pic is of 40 of them, the other 10 are just as perfect.
