Description
You will get an assortment, 5 different species of Cactus & Succulents growing in 2″ pots. The varieties you receive will vary with the season. Cacti & Succulent Care. Many people tend to think that cacti and succulents are too difficult to care for and decide against even buying them. As it turns out, many people are simply caring for them too much or too often. Cacti and succulents will do quite well under the same conditions which would be considered neglect with other plants. The most common problem people have with cacti and succulent plants is overwatering. They are ‘water storing’ plants and will do better with less water than they will with more. Since every situation is considerably different, there is not set time interval for when to water cacti and succulents. Many factors play a role in the timing (such as humidity, light, and temperature). General Rule: Water Cacti and succulents thouroghly and allow them to dry out completely between watering. If you are not sure if the soil is completely dried out it is useful to stick your finger in the soil (1″ or so if necessary) to see if the soil is dry. Many plants will be potted with a sand or grit topping, be sure to check the soil for moisture, not just the topping. If you are still not sure and think it may be too moist, don’t water it! Overwatering can lead to disease and rot and will kill your cactus and succulent plants! -Light- Cacti and succulent plants love bright sun and will do quite well on a windowsill or on a porch.

I was a bit skeptical when they arrived, because they are not as large as the photos had me believe. (most do not extend past the container) BUT…they have all been thriving in their little planters, and I see new growth on some already. I’ll be back for more!

I love the collection of baby plants. They all made it fine except the one on the front left in the photo. It’s little top broke off. Do you suppose the roots will grow another top?
I have received a lot of items from you and this is the first one that didn’t quite survive the trip. Anyway, don’t worry about it, I will replace it if it won’t root and grow.
Thanks for everything.

This was my first time ordering plants online and I was a bit nervous about it. I ordered a total of 10 plants from Hirt’s. The package arrived today, and I could not be more pleased! The packaging was phenomenal. I was concerned, because the USPS dented the box quite a bit, but I had little reason to worry. Each plant was packed with such care. The only one that looks like it spent a week traveling across-country is the African violet and I am confident it will recover well. Everything else looks amazing. Thank you, Hirt’s, for your attention to detail and care!
