While I might not have the greenest thumb in the world, I love picking up a new house plant from time to time. I have the perfect corner in my bathroom that gets plenty of indirect sunlight through out the day & the plants get humidity from the shower being on. I was excited when given the opportunity to work with Succulents Box on a review & giveaway. Not only do they sell a monthly subscription box that will deliver four succulents to your door each month, but they also have a large assortment of plants you can buy from their online store. If you have a plant lover in your life, one of their succulent subscription boxes would make a wonderful gift whether it is for just one month or three months, they are sure to love it.
I was lucky enough to be sent one of their four packs of succulents, plus I was given a twenty dollar gift card to choose something from their plant selection. I was quite pleased with the selection they sent, each one looked completely different which will be fun when I put them into a new pot along side one another. I have some open space in the succulent planter I already have so two of them will be moving into it & the other two I will probably get another small planter for. I found an awesome succulent planter on amazon that I liked, that was tall enough to put a layer of rocks under the dirt while still shallow enough to keep the succulents happy. So far they've been loving it, so I am hoping the new plants will as well. The monthly subscription box & the succulent bundles they sell are a great way to find new succulents they might not have in stores near you! Take for example one of the four I received, at first I thought it had some little dead spots, then I realized that is how it is supposed to look. Looking on their website, It is either a panda plant kalanchoe or kalanchoe chocolate both of which naturally have those little brown spots near the tips. All four succulents look healthy & happy!
Picking out something from their huge plant collection was so hard! There were so many beautiful and exiting plants to look at that it was hard to pick which I wanted. I ended up picking out a Epiphyllum anguliger fishbone cactus & a braided stump money tree. I love money trees, but depending on the time of the year here they can be hard to find, so I was happy to see that Succulents Box had more than one type on their website. The money tree was quite a bit bigger than I thought it would be when it arrived, I can't wait to see how much it grows over time! The fishbone cactus was also a bit bigger than I thought it would be. On their website it looks more condensed together & shorter so I was surprised to see it's little arms so long when it arrived. I also enjoyed that fact that all of their plants offer different styles of pots you can get them in depending on your preference. I went with just the basic growers pots, as I knew I was eventually likely to move them into a different pot, but wasn't sure what kind of pot I wanted at the moment.
The prices on their website are pretty good! In fact the low prices may even get plant lovers in trouble, because they will want to add so many to their carts. Their plants start as low as $6.50, plus you can almost always find sales and discounts to use while shopping. During the shipment process they will add a type of paper tape around the bottom of each plant to cover the dirt which will prevent it from all spilling out during their journey. It was very simple to remove and didn't make that much of a mess, all in all I would say 90% of the dirt stayed right in the containers. Everything looked to be in pretty good shape after their trip to my doorstep, I didn't see anything that made me upset about the new plants I acquired. Between the prices & the wide selection of plants they offer, I would 100% make a purchase from them again! In fact there are about two dozen more plants I was looking at when trying to decide what I wanted to get this time around. I also like that they let you sort by a number of characteristics like "Pet friendly plants" or "best houseplants for beginners". They also offer care guides on their site for anyone who could use them.

I cannot enter any of your giveaways on Instagram. I was kicked off for entering a giveaway that asked you to use the hashtag #Giveaway. They said I was trying to scam people to get more followers? Then I was bombarded on other social media that said they could get me back on Instagram for $125+ and more. THAT…sounds like a SCAM! Instagram is basically kicking people off for doing a contest at an alarming rate!
