Succulents and small cactus seem to be a hot trend right now. Even my 10 and 11 year old daughters are obsessed! Most of us are spending a lot more time indoors right now thanks to Covid and especially now as we head into fall and winter. Did you know that plants have been proven to reduce stress, increase productivity, and freshen up the air? Even if you aren’t already a “plant parent”, there’s probably a succulent for you to give you the wellness benefits without high maintenance or a lot of effort. Whether you’re new to the hobby or a a collector of plants, Succulents Box delivers exactly what you need right to your door.
I was really excited to see a kit designed just for kids. My youngest daughter got one for her birthday and it was her favorite gift! The kids box comes with the following items:
- 1 Random 4″ succulent handpicked and bubble wrapped with lots of love and care.
- 1 Random Ceramic Animal Pot – Just use your own paint to add a little colorful creativity to each planter.
- 1 Mini Gardening Tool Set (Blue or pink are randomly picked).
- 1 Random Succulent Stickers for decorative ideas.
- 1 Bag of Soil – ideal for growing succulents.
My daughter hates pink and loves dogs. Succulents Box was very accommodating with my request and sent her a dog pot and blue tools. The pot is adorable and makes this set even more fun since you can paint the pot however you like with your own paints. I also requested a rosette shaped succulent plant and she got that too! The stickers that came with this set are really cute and a fun little extra.
She couldn’t wait to plant her succulent and start caring for it. Until the plant acclimates we are keeping it in the kitchen window sill. Once we figure out a good watering schedule I’ll let her move the plant to her room. I’m not a plant person at all but this kit is so cool it makes me want to start collecting succulents of my own!
Succulents Box sells gifts sets and individual plants but they also have a subscription box that will regularly deliver low maintenance, organically grown succulents directly to you door. The have so many cool varieties that this hobby is super enticing even to someone like me that has a hard time keeping plants alive. We just moved to Arizona so I’m really drawn to the cactus varieties that they offer.
You might wonder how plants are sent through the mail and still arrive safely. I was curious myself! Most of the 2″ plants are shipped in a plastic pot with soil but the bigger and more fragile 4″ plants are shipped bareroot in bubble wrap to keep them safe.
Succulents Box offers all sorts of care tips on their website to ensure your success. They also offer tools and accessories. In addition to the wide variety of cactus and succulents, they also have a selection of air plants! There’s truly something for everyone! You can find out more at www.succulentsbox.com.
