I have been eagerly waiting for these beauties, and today i recieved them in the mail after only ordering them 3 days ago! They were shipped here to NC from CA and again i must say WOW on the fast shipping! As for the plants, they are all a good size (i will upload pics) all were 2-3 inches with only 1 exception of a smaller rosette that is approx 1 inch in diameter, and that isnt an issue at all. I will say, a couple had lost a few bottom leaves, but as most succulent lovers know, thats just more oppertunity for more babies, so really isnt a issue at all either. I did recieve 16 instead of 15, so yay for the bonus baby, and of those 16 all but 2 were already calloused enough to try them in some dirt. No 2 were alike, and several that have or will have great color. This isnt an instant gratification hobby and you ARE buying cuttings that will take some time to grow and mature, so i dont understand why some people complain that they arent getting store bought mature specimens (that would cost you alot more). Overall I am extreamly pleased with the diversity and speed of reciept. I will try to update as they grow a bit for those of you that are like me and read raitings and appreciate thorough reviews ☺.
As others have said these are CUTTINGS, not fully rooted/potted plants. They are small as in 1-4" long and some as small as 1" x 1". Succulents are slow growers but I'm excited to see them flourish.
Very happy with my purchase. Price was great, arrived in about 5 days instead of the originally quoted estimate. They were wrapped in plain paper so I was nervous they would be mashed and mangled but they weren't. I received exactly 15 cuttings. No two alike and a really nice variety. No care booklet like others have stated. I let them callous for a couple days before putting them in soil. They are now in their new home and are doing well. So well that I have placed a second order for more cuttings. Eventually these will be hardened off and moved to the front porch but for now they need to be established before transplanting.
I ordered fully rooted cuttings from another vendor and after only a week already 4 plants are in trouble so I'm surprised the cuttings are doing great but the fully rooted plants are on the fence.
Definitely look forward to my next shipment from this seller and will likely order more in the future if my 2nd shipment is as healthy as the first one was.
I'm absolutely thrilled that I decided to order these plants. I ordered 15 cuttings and received 21. The description said that the cuttings would be between 1 and 3 inches. All but one I received are between 2-5 inches. Make sure that you understand that you're ordering cuttings, not full plants, before you order! Succulents are super easy to grow from cuttings, but they do take some time. I posted a picture of what they looked like right out of the box with a quarter for size reference.
Great deal- at home depot or lowes,tiny rooted succulents range from 3-6$ per plant. This is like getting 63-126$ worth of plants for 11$. Fantastic.
Super fast shipping. I ordered on Friday June 13th, the shipping estimate was June 19- June 24th. They arrived on Monday June 16th. Well packaged, they were carefully wrapped so the cuttings wouldn't arrive damaged. None of them look like they were damaged between cutting and arriving at my door. They also included detailed instructions on how to plant and grow.
Love the variety, they will be absolutely beautiful once they've grown in. I would (and will!) absolutely recommend this seller to anyone. I posted another picture of my succulent garden assembled.
Arrived in 3 days! :) Lovely assortment and I got 23 not 15, thanks! They are mostly green but there are colored ones in there too and they are healthy and calloused so they are ready to root. I have no doubt these will do well. They are in very good shape. None were crushed or broken. I love them. Thanks!
UPDATE: These plants while not very colorful at all, REALLY grow well and fast! I have a little jungle in my kitchen window right now and they are a delight to watch grow. I've added some recent pictures to see the difference.
I wanted to have a little window garden that didn't take lots of care. I found this section, and decided it would work much better than seeds. I've tried seeds in the past with mixed results, that don't yield or yield very few plants. And I really wanted this to be enjoyable and relaxing, so no seeds. The plants cuttings arrived quickly, and were packed in shredded newspaper. All looked very fresh, except for two cuttings. The selection was very good succulent wise, but only one cactus. That was fine by me though. I wanted more of the succulents anyway. I've had them offered for a week and already about half have rooted. Overall I am pleased, and it was fun to not know what ones I would get. I planted them in bosnia pots, grouped according to type. So far it looks like all of them will make it. I'll do an update later.
Update
All the cutting took root and are thriving. I have changed my review from 4 to 5. This was a great value and worked out much better than I had hoped.

Description
15 different fresh cut succulent cuttings that are 2 to 4 inches long. Cuttings are bare root.
EDIT: Just a few weeks later and most have gotten healthy roots so I planted some in little pots (pictured) and a few others I planted in an arrangement for now. The ones that have not rooted I replanted with more room and trying again since they are still looking good!
Too many too even count! Ordered 15 and got quite a few more. I can't wait to put them in soil tomorrow. I am only worried because they came a day early and sat in the cold for a while before I could bring them in 😢 not the sellers fault but I hope it does not prohibit them from growing into beautiful plants! My favorite part about this order is how I don't even know what more than half of them are. Such a variety!
I have ordered these from this seller several times and will be ordering several more , these cuttings always arrive absolutely beautiful and tend to callous on shipping so they are usually ready to be rooted when they arrive . The seller has amazing customer service and i would definitely recommend them to anyone .
I saw some bad reviews for this vendor, but I took a chance anyways. I think there may be some confusion - you are ordering succulent CUTTINGS, not full plants. Therefore, you are getting precisely that - cuttings. Cuttings that you can propagate into your own plants.
I got my package in a timely fashion & nothing was damaged. I ordered 15, but I'm fairly certain I was sent at LEAST 20 cuttings. It's greatly appreciated considering some succulent cuttings just don't want to take root and it also takes into account any of the little guys that may not have made it during shipping. The benefit of them shipping was that some of them had already started to callus, so less waiting for me! Some had also started to grow new plants already - even better.
In the end - I had 10 small cuttings that were big enough for me to arrange into small planters I had and then about 24 other cuttings (some were leaves from the 10 that I had mentioned) that I am now working on propagating.
All in all - definitely a bang for your buck if you know what you're doing!
I’m enamored with the quality of these succulents! My shipment was carefully packed and every succulent cutting is healthy and absolutely beautiful! Plus my shipment arrived sooner than promised. Yeah! After setting them up to start growing their roots. I immediately reordered more! #succulentsbymare
These arrived in excellent condition, in a very timely manner. On does look like it got a little too much sun before packaging, but all are healthy. All the ends were callused over, so I planted them when I got them. Even got to take a few leaves off for further propagation as they were all the way to the bottom. After a day they seem to be doing awesome. 2 of the 15 are the same, but I am extremely happy with the variety. The little fuzzy guy is my favorite, so he got his own pot. I am propagating a couple other plants in my house, so that is why the pie pan has a ton of leaves in it. I am waiting for them to take root, then moving them to another pie pan. At 36 I'm not even sure why I have 8 ceramic pie pans, but at least it saves me having to go buy pots. At Christmas everyone in my family will be getting a terrarium in a pie pan or one of my 20 coffee mugs I haven't touched, but somehow keep gaining also.
