Questions
Q: Since these are desert plants, would they be ok if i kept them in the bathroom which can get steamy during baths, etc. Would the occasional humidity be a problem? Asked by Esther G., March 2021
Hi Esther,
Yes, these plants should be perfectly fine with a little humidity now and then. Some of the greenhouses are quite humid as well. Just make sure that they get their light, maybe through a window sill or something.
Q: I'm not very educated on succulents, but are they good for both indoors and outdoors?Asked by Jennifer H., February 2021
They are! But it depends on the weather. They are very good in moderate outdoor temperatures, just nothing too extreme. For example, they love sunshine, but they don't like to get scorched, and they're good with cold too, but they certainly don't like to freeze. Indoors, they like to be on a window sill where they receive sunlight. "Filtered" light is good. You can e-mail us if you like and we can discuss more specific weather conditions to your area.
Q: You don't glue the rocks in or anything do you with the plant Asked by Sam P., February 2021
No, we would never do that. We pack the rocks separately so you can put them in yourself. Much better this way!
Q: Does it come with the pot?Asked by Jennifer D., February 2021
It sure does! Matter of fact, it's pre-potted, so we do the potting. Also included is the saucer and top dressing.

This is THE perfect box! Thoughtfully, carefully and meticulously packaged. Fast shipping. The plants (all 3) were already professionally planted in a very elegant dark grey pot - no fumbling on my part getting dirt everywhere. And best of all, LOTS of details about the plants and instructions on care and maintenance. Cute and functional extras as well as hand-written notes. SO happy with this box!

Just a beautiful little plants, safely packaged and ready to go! I got this as a gift for myself, but I'm thinking hard of other people who might need more plant friends. Loved the little (handwritten!) welcome card and accessories and instructions. It also came with an apology that the box was insufficiently adorable, but I disagree.

Oh, good! Thank you, Anne. You'll see the "right" box next time too! So glad you like it!
Im in love with this box!!!

I absolutely love this box. Usually I would try a box for a month or two to see what they really do and if its worth the money. This one is for sure worth the money because you can see the time and care they put into their product. I lovelove love my new plants *on the right* and even had enough moss and pebbles to replant my new cactus. *on the left* It also comes in a vase already so you don't have to worry about planting it. There is instructions for everything so you are never lost and they make sure you dont over water the plant when you get it.. They have fueled my new obsession and will for sure be sticking with it. I love they also add something special like a tote and omg is that socks I see the month! Yessss!!

Thanks so much for posting your review, Alicia! And we are so happy you like the box! Your own cactus paired with ours look perfect together! And yes, socks are coming up!
AMAZING SUBSCRIPTION PACKAGE!!!!!!!!!!

I am so pleased with this subscription box! I purchased a year subscription for my 19-year-old daughter. This company is a little more expensive than the ones I compared it to, however, it is well worth the difference! The cacti come pre-planted and VERY well wrapped. It comes with amazing directions, a handwritten note, and a few little "extras." This month a beautiful bag, stickers, and Mexican beach pebbles to add to the pot. ALSO...we over watered our first arrivals by mistake. My daughter reached out to the company and they were AMAZING! They gave her advice and replaced the one dead one for free!!! I highly recommend this company and appreciate their care and personal touches!!!!!!

Thanks Shelly! We remember discussing that with your daughter and we were happy to help!
Thoughtfully put together

This is such a cute subscription box! Everything is expertly wrapped and you can tell a lot of thought is put into the packaging. This is a great option for both a plant beginner like me or someone looking to add some fun and personality to their plant collection.

Thank you, Ashley! We're glad it works for both beginners and those who want to add to their collection!

I gifted myself a subscription since I love succulents and cacti. I can't say enough great things about my first box. If I could rate it 10 out of 5 stars, I would. The box arrived with lightning speed after ordering. It was packed with so much care. I honestly had doubts that my little plants would be able to survive the post office slinging.
Everything was perfectly packed and secured inside. There was a sweet handwritten card for me, instructions on how to unpack, arrange, and take care of my new arrivals. An all around amazing purchase. I'm already planning to renew and don't tell Mom, but she's likely to get a Mother's Day gift from here.

Adrianne, we're so glad you're so happy with it! Thanks for letting us know!

I received my first box and was delighted. The tiny pot was the most perfect colors for me, matched my color scheme to a tee. The cactus plants shipped completely in tact. So happy with cacti’s.
