A creative solution some people use to fill space at the bottom of extra large containers is sealed, plastic water bottles. They also help keep the container a bit lighter. See full answer »

Hello, if I purchased approx 100 bulk succulents and 100 bulk succulent pots would you transplant them for us? See answer

I am wondering if we can get the transplanted succulents delivered already in a ceramic pot. If so, what would be the additional cost? See more »

Sorry, we only ship our succulents in their plastic grow pots because they tend to fare poorly in shipping if transplanted into heavier pots (they bang into each other more with the weight). But you'll find that they are very quick and easy to transplant yourself!

If these are for an event, we do recommend that you have them delivered 1-2 weeks before the event. We ship Mondays & Tuesdays and you can leave us a note in the Order Comments during checkout as to when you'd like them delivered. See full answer »

Thank you very much! Below is a link to our Pots page. We're also always looking for pots with drainage holes, but the terracotta ones listed there do have them, if that's what you're looking for.

Should you clean terracotta pot between potting succulents? How do I clean it? See answer

I am looking to purchase one of your beautiful succulents to replace a succulent I bought previously that unfortunately was over watered. Should I clean the terracotta pot that its in before potting the new succulent in it, and should I just use hot water and soap? Thank you!! See more »

Yes! Hot water and soap should do fine, however, terracotta pots tend to get a white crust on them. This crust is built up salts from fertilizer or even tap water. It's easiest to get this off by first soaking the pots in a solution of 1:4 or 1:3 vinegar to water. See full answer »

Actually, most of them do not have a drainage hole. In the product description for these pots, it will indicate whether they have a drainage hole or not. See full answer »

Why do some of your pots not have drainage holes when your care guides for succs all state "good drainage"? See answer

We don't want to limit advanced growers who do want to grow in non-draining pots or use them as a decorative outer pot. We are actually switching over to only carrying draining terracotta pots, so the non-draining ones are limited. You can find terracotta pots with drainage holes here on our Pots for Succulents page.

can you transfer into nice pots for me? See answer

Sorry, we do not repot, as succulents do not ship as well in the heavier pots and the pots are more likely to be damaged in transit if we can't fully wrap them in bubble wrap. But if you add any of these Succulent Pots to your order, you'll have an easy time transplanting!

What kind of soil should I use with succulents? See answer

Shop Succulent Soil Here

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

When should I plant my succulents after they arrive? See answer

See more »

Follow

4 years ago  •  Staff Answer

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.

Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Do I need to fertilize succulents? See answer

See more »

Follow

4 years ago  •  Staff Answer

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.

Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength
