Shop Succulents | Verde Collection | Assortment of Hand Selected, Fully Rooted Live Indoor Green Succulent Plants, 12-Pack

I bought these succulents for my wedding last September, and they were a great success. They looked very cute, and I got many compliments for them. But best of all: They are still alive and striving! They have grown a lot over the past three months, many of them have bloomed or are blooming at the moment. And that means a lot, because I don't have a green thumb AT ALL! When I first opened the package I was a little disappointed. The plants looked small and some had fallen out of their little plastic pots during shipping. One had a piece broken off. But then I repotted them into small terracotta pots, and they recovered remarkably quickly (my wedding was three weeks after the succulents had arrived). I covered the earth with small pebbles, and voila, they looked fantastic. Three months later they have doubled and trippled in size and look gorgeous. - What a great reminder of our wedding! I can highly recommend this product!

My first batch came most not looking that great because of the carrier! I was really upset as this was for a baby shower that was coming up very quickly. They sent me a whole new batch and they all look beautiful! Thank you so much. Highly recommended.

What a major disappointment. They are tiny, bone dry, and dying and or dead. The soil was all over the box and the containers only had about 1/2 soil. Shipping sucked too. I know the variety varied too, but I didn't get a string of pearls which I thoughy was likely in this "variety" I will never, ever buy plants from this seller again. Thank God it was not a gift.

I love succulents so go big or go home, right? They weren't as varied or colorful as the picture, but there was an ok amount of variety. Some came with the edges "burnt" and there was some dirt spillage, but most were fine. Then they started to die one by one. I will say I had little experience caring for succulents, but I read up online and tried different watering schedules. Nothing really worked. After a few months, I was down to a few lone survivors. I'll chalk it up to my own inability to care for succulents, but minus one star for lack of variety.

I ordered 2 sets on May 3, 2012 and they arrived six days later on May 9. The succulents came in little plastic 2 inch square pots with the foam peanuts on top for protection.[Here's a quick tip. Examine your plants and remove any with moist soil. Remove any of the loose moist soil and replace it with dry soil (from a Cactus soil mix) and then put it in a sunny spot to dry the soil. If the soil remains moist too long, the plants will die.]What you see on the internet is somewhat similar to what I got. The majority of plants are variations of the color green, with a few having different colorations. My packages include different aloe looking types (which are not necessarily all aloes), a light pink plant, a stringy looking plant, plants in rosette pattterns, plants in tiny cluster patterns, and a few plants that vaguely look like variations of miniature jade plants. Some pots have two or more plants in them. Three or four plants have miniature flowering stalks. This is quite a pleasant assortment of succulents.The vast majority of the plants arrived in fine condition, with some shifting of the soil (as expected) due to shipping. A few pieces had broken off from the main plants, but it's no big deal as I put the pieces in clay pots so hopefully the pieces will become new plants. In addition, since some pots have a few plants in them, I moved a few of the extra plants into small clay pots, making mixed plant succulent dishes.~~~The key to keeping your plants alive is not to overwater.As of May 25, 2012, (22 days after receiving the plants), about five (which were in the plastic containers) have died, because I overwatered. I examined some of the plants that died, and they all have small root systems, which were still moist from having been watered five days earlier, plus the soils beneath were also still moist. Notably, the ones which I had put earlier in clay pots are doing great. Clay pots are excellent for the ones with little root systems because the clay dries faster than plastic pots, plus you can jam the plants closer to each other so that there is less soil to remain moist. Small clay pots dry faster than larger clay pots, so you may want to consider putting your smaller succulents into smaller clay pots, from 3 to 5 inches in size. Stores also have special clay pots that are wide and less deep.Around May 26, 2012, I looked at the root systems of all the succulents and separated them into three groups. In general, one group has extensive root systems, the second group has roots in half the pot, and the third group has very little roots. This may be the best way to figure out when to water and when not to water and how much or little to water. For example, you would want to give very little water to ones with only a small root system.What I found out is that a general guideline is to water just enough to wash the dust off the leaves. So if the plant has a few small leaves, you need to carefully and judiciously water just a little bit. If the plant is larger with larger leaves, then presumably the root system is correspondingly larger and you water just a little bit more to slightly wet only the roots. Be careful not to give too much water, especially if the pot contains excess soil which takes longer to dry. Plus, the ones with fat leaves need less water than the ones with thinner leaves.If you are not sure, it's better not to water than to water.I live in the North, where it is cooler, with more cloudy days, so I should water less often than someone living in the hot and sunny weather of Texas.It's a good idea to keep the soil dry, rather than constantly moist, in order for the succulents to stay alive. Many people, including me, tend to overwater.

I ordered the pack of 4 on a Monday, counting on the fact that they would arrive before the weekend and wouldn't have to wait through Sunday. They arrived the next Monday. It's also December and freezing cold (literally). Amazingly, these four little guys put up with being in a cardboard box for a week with no heat pack or anything, just a bunch of packing beans. They all seem sturdy and all but one have healthy little root systems. Really impressed with the quality of the succulents. My big complaint, however, is that they don't all match the varieties shown in the advertised picture, and two were even the same type.
