FAQS
Q: How long can the succulents last without water? Will they die in shipping without water?
A: Succulents are incredibly hardy plants, the leaves and roots are full of water which is what gives them their unique appearance. They can last months without water, so a few days in a shipping box is no concern at all - we promise.
Q: How long can the succulents go without light? Will they die in shipping without natural light?
A: Succulents are plants that thrive in low natural light, in fact direct sunlight can burn them to a crisp. Our succulents are no exception, and can go weeks without any natural light, direct or indirect, so, a few days in a shipping box is not bad for them at all.
Q: Will the succulents get crushed or broken in transit?
A: We package each order very carefully and have designed our packaging to ensure the succulents will stay safe with a special shell around them to prevent any crushing or breaking.
Q: How much natural light do the succulents need?
A: Succulents thrive on a low amount of direct sunlight, or a medium amount of indirect natural light. We do not advise placing them directly in a windowsill, but they should not be kept in a completely dark area for weeks or longer.
