Available Succulents

Succulents for everyone! 

I focus on succulents that are hardy, easy to grow, and thrive with minimal water. 

ALL PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT. 

This is required by CA law, but it has several side benefits, including lower shipping costs and ensuring no pests have hidden under the soil in the roots.

I only ship within the US. If you’re local to San Diego, I do vend at the SDCSS monthly meetings as often as I can! I tend to bring a wider variety, including specimens where I only have one or two and haven’t put them on the website yet.

How to Pot Your Recently Shipped Succulents

These succulents tolerate shipping extremely well! As long as your weather is above freezing, or below 100 degrees, chances are, the succulents will arrive to you without any issues. 

Once unpacked, pot your succulent in a new pot just barely larger than it is. If possible, use a pot the same size as what’s indicated in the plant description: 2″ pot, 4″ pot, and so on. Ensure the soil mix is dry, and once the succulent is placed in the soil, leave it in bright, indirect light for about a week before working on adjusting it to its final placement.

Do not water for at least one week after potting your plant; freshly repotted plants should have at least a week or more for their roots to heal from the microscopic damage that occurs when potting.

Returns & Guarantees

I don’t accept returns due to the plants being unlikely to survive or thrive when shipped for days on end back to back.

I do guarantee that the plants should arrive healthy, in good condition, and ready to be potted and start growing for you. I ship via USPS, and most orders should take 7 to 10 days at most to arrive (usually far less).

I cannot guarantee live arrival if it is below freezing when the plants arrive, so check your weather. Daytime highs over 95 can also be problematic, or if the box is left in a sun-exposed area or mailbox. 

If your order does not arrive within 10 days of being placed, please email me at [email protected] so I can look into it for you!

If your plant arrives in poor condition (dying, falling apart, brown, mushy, etc) please take a photo of the box and email it to me with details about your weather, where the box was placed, and if you’d like a replacement or a refund. I’ll refund the cost of the plant, but not shipping.

I am a (very) small business of one person, but I’m happy to help where I can. Just let me know when you have a question or concern!

How to Grow Obregonia denigrii – the Artichoke Cactus

You ever decide to get a cactus on a whim, just because it was there, you were first, and there was only one? That's how I ended up with my Obregonia denigrii. It was peak COVID season, the plant bubble was looming large, and like everyone else, I was stuck at home...

The Humble Split Rock: Pleiospilos nelii

Originally printed in Volume 56, Number 04 of Espinas Y Flores - the San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society Newsletter for April 2021. For many of us, the experience of first spotting a split rock is the same: walking through the nursery or garden center, and you see...

Care Diary: Growing a Massive Monstera Siltepecana

As the pandemic was just winding up and the insane plant craze was beginning, I snagged myself a nice big pot of Monstera siltepecana. I'd tried a couple times before with smaller, single-node cuttings that weren't well rooted, and had had them slowly decline on me...

How to Germinate Anthurium magnificum Seeds

Continuing the theme of Anthurium magnificum this month, I also recently harvested my Anthurium's berries and successfully germinated the seeds! Most of what I've read about Anthuriums has said that they're not self-fertile, but this plant made two blooms that just...

Care Diary – Miqueliopuntia miquelii

Miqueliopuntia miquelii I had never even heard of this cactus until I saw one become available from one of the international sellers I occasionally order cacti and succulents from. I love pretty much any type of blue cactus, and in this particular order I was planning...
