Costa Farms Mini Succulent Live Plants in Cute Pots, Easy to Maintain Indoor Succulents, Houseplants for Home or Office Decor, House Warming or Birthday Gift, 2-3.5 Inches Tall, Pack of 3

I'm convinced all Costa Farms plants are amazing! I've now gotten multiple plants from them a various sizes from teeny tiny like these two large plants. They all arrive in great condition and thrive. These are no exception! Most of these are approximately 2 inches wide and 2 inches tall.

Other than the fact that the delivery driver had the boxes on their sides when they are very clearly marked to keep them top up, they arrived 1 day earlier than expected, which is great! They were all alive. Only a few dead leaves to be removed and of course, the soil was dry and needed watering just as the instructions in the box say they will be. I HIGHLY recommend that you open them outside or in your greenhouse as some of the dirt is loose within the box. Other than that, the only somewhat negative is that some of the plants seem to have less dirt than others, but that’s why you can buy soil! Great product. Highly recommend. These will be for decoration and party favors at an event. Thank you!

I loved how well the item was packaged! In spite of one of the boxes of succulents arriving upside down! Costa Farms did such a great job wrapping them, it didn't matter! ( : The succulents are 1st completely covered in a special paper shred, then saran wrapped tightly all around mtiple times, very securely! Then, they are wrapped in bubble wrap after that and the package fits securely inside a perfect sized box as well! So, even arriving upside down part of the trip, it made it through with only a few tiny petals falling off! That is extremely impressive to me! ( : All the succulents were alive and gorgeous and much bigger than I expected too! ( : My daughter, the mommy to be who is using these as party favors for her baby shower, is thrilled and so am I! ( : Thank you so much, Costa Farms, for such a great product! ( : Definitely got my money's worth and will order again! I love succulents! ( : UPDATED: All the transplanted succulents are growing like weeds and are sooo healthy and beautiful! ( : Thank you again Costa Farms! Our guests loved this unique party favor, no one left them behindlike usually happens with boring party favors! In fact, they were looking for them when they left, if their neighbor accidental took them! Lol! ( : I ordered extra, though, since we all wanted to be able to make some succulent gardens after the shower! ( : 🥰🥰🥰🌱🌱 ♥️♥️♥️

I have ordered succulents online from several companies, but I had a couple of bad experiences with one of my favorites, so I decided to take a chance on Costa Farms. I knew the plants would be tiny, which is ok...but at least one looked more like a pup that had been hastily yanked from the parent plant, and appeared more as half of a plant rather than a whole plant. Still, I could work with that. I know that these succulents go through rough treatment in shipping, so I am also prepared for the possibility of bruised and beaten plants (some of which these were). But that's the risk of ordering online. Half of the plants were dry and the other half were soaked. The dealbreaker for me was BUGS. When I pulled the first plant out of the shipping box, the bugs came out with it. In FORCE. They were tiiiiiiiny, fast-moving insects (they looked like white mites of some sort but not mealybugs--however, I'm not yet an expert at identifying the differences). What I do know is that there should be no creatures of any sort enjoying existence at the expense of plants that I paid for. (And they were a bit on the pricey side.) I tried and tried to get photos of the bugs, but they were so tiny and fast that I didn't succeed. I should have taken a video, maybe. But...I am disgusted. I contacted Amazon, following the directions from Costa Farms, and requested a replacement, so we will see if that gets shipped, and without extra passengers. I am really dreading the pricier succulent from Costa (Whale Fin Sansevieria) that should arrive in a couple of days. I know I should have taken the more cautious approach with a new company, but I just got too excited to wait (this was, of course, ordered before the arrival of the bug infested plants). So if the Whale Fin fails and the replacement tinies (should they be shipped) are unhealthy, that's it for me and Costa Farms. Also, lesson learned: open the box and do initial inspection outside, awayyyy from your house if at all possible. At this point, I am going to be walking them to the next block over and opening them on the street (we live in a cul-de-sac) to lessen my stress that any bugs will find their way to my backyard plants or, far worse, my indoor succulents. I'm just so sad about this! What a huge bummer! Update: the Whale Fin failed, but that's for a different review. The six little replacements, which did indeed ship, also failed. I did remember to open them outside this time. It looked like they had drowned before I even opened the box. NOT because of transit; the box was totally intact and dry, as was all of the paper packing. I met the UPS delivery driver at the door and received my package directly from their hands. I'm not sure who is responsible for packaging Costa plants, but please stop drowning these fragile 2-inch plantlets. Why would you give these little would-be beauties so much water, then tightly package them without giving them any time to dry? I understand that you don't want them to dry and die on their journey, but succulents are far more tolerant of not receiving water than they are of a full pre-packing soak. Most of them were so fragile and wet that they fell apart in my hand. You can see in one of my photos how oversaturated the root system was for that plant. Another photo shows black roots. They are not dark because they are covered in dirt; I worked on this one for a while in search of healthy roots. Finding none, I was forced to throw it away. Similar situation for all. In a couple of cases, just touching the plants caused leaves to fall. I was left with what looked like half or a third of a plant, and a roughly treated one, at that. So disappointing, especially since, from what I could tell (identifying succulents missing most of their leaves is tough), there was some variety among the six, including a couple that I don't already have. On the other hand, there were two that looked like offsets (for example, the aloe in my second order and the haworthia fasciata in the second order). They came with just a few leaves each.

They were packed so tight it squeezed all the leaves off two of my suculants. But otherwise the plants are really heathy and happy.

Looked good on arrival. Lost most vey quickly to fungus. Recieved 6 different plants.

An okay item to order Most of the plants died
