Hello, I am interested in purchasing these succulents for bridal shower favors. Would they be appropriate to giveaway as they are? Or would I need to re-pot them? If so, what size of pot would you suggest?

Hi, what a neat idea for shower favors! These are in individual pots so you wouldn't need to repot them but if you chose to you'd probably want 4x4 at the largest-they come in 2x2" pots. We loved them! -Chastidy

I started out 3 yrs ago with 3 small/3" stems and put them in dirt. They are inside in a very sunny window. They do not like to be overwatered. Once every 3 weeks seems good. Spring seems to be a slow growth period. I gave cut my long limbs/8" and repotted. A few died. They are tricky. When healthy the produce small red flowers. I enjoy all the succulents but crown of thorns is not easy

I kept mine in their original pots for a few days. I put them on a tray since the pots have holes and I watered them. Hope that helps!

I had mine in the original 2" pot for 2 months before I transplanted them into 4" pots. Some had lots of healthy roots and some had very little roots.

Definitely go with the potted succulents. Succulents grow quickly, but you're looking for a WOW factor. You will pay more money up front, but the plants can be used for other things after the wedding. Have fun and congratulations!

Hi, Jessica! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I purchased these succulents (and more from Jimz) for an annual garden market fundraiser. We planted groups of 3 succulents in 4 inch terra cotta pots and top-dressed the soil with decorative pebbles from Walmart. If you are using the plants individually, you could use a 2 inch pot. You'll need a cactus/palm/succulent soil mixture for transplanting, regular potting soil is too dense. Good luck and Happy Wedding! Gail

I broke mine into groups of 5.. Then put them into 3" glass cubes with pebbles on the bottom (pebbles and glass cubes from $ store). Tied a ribbon around then to keep than together ....then keep cube filled 1" up to keep roots wet.... I uses the bamboo as a party favor... Most of them are still beautiful a year later.. I think the trick is to keep the roots wet .. Good luck

They probly would last at least two weeks, I used them for my daughters wedding flowers. So I added water a couple days before, I have been told from friends that you can reuse them I have not, I will use them again, they really make for a nice centerpiece,

Yes . . . . . this is perfect. Remember to only water through the "hole" on the side until you see that it is full, and not from the top of the plant or it will leak from that very hole. Love the style, shape and color of the pot. Highly recommend it! Yorkie Mom, Myrtle Beach, SC

They were shipped to me as two separate trees. I got them late summer of 2012, so I cannot comment on how tall they get. I planed the two of them in the same pot and "twisted" the trunks around each other somewhat, then used nursery tape to hold them that way. My hope is that they will continue to grow together.Frankly, I have been disappointed with their progress. The leaves on one are doing ok, but the other one is looking weak. I will withhold final judgment until they have a full growing season in the new pot.

That would be a nice gift, but you would have to replant them in small clay pots; foil the base or tie a ribbon around the pot. A note on what it is and how to take care of it would be helpful.

Regular garden gloves will be fine. As for repotting, it really depends on what kind of cactus is shipped. In my shipment some are still in small 4" pots, while others have had to go into 8 - 10" pots. I can say that all the ones I received were very healthy and are still doing well.

I agree with jeff. I got two of them less than a year ago. One is flowering right now. I have them potted inside my house.

these came in very small plastic pots, maybe 1 1/2 inches so you may need to fill with more than one succulent. i ordered them early and they have grown but still tiny plants

You can plant them out in the yard in a warm winter type place in soil with really good drainage. But they really shine in bowl shaped shallow pots using potting soil for succulents/cactus. Be sure the pot has a drainage hole in the bottom. This collection is really nice, and arrived in excellent shape, everyone is different. I made up pots to use as gifts, they were a big hit with the recipients. After planting finish off the top with small gravel for a finished look and the soil won't splash up when watering. Over watering is their main enemy. If you use pots you can bring them in during cold weather. Have fun.
