Succulents Box is a US plant shop that sells live succulents, cacti, houseplants and air plants. It also runs a subscription alongside its larger gift catalog. The company says its plants come from its own 8-acre nursery. Its homepage is built mostly around gifting, with sections for birthdays, housewarmings, sympathy, holidays and corporate orders. You can buy the subscription for 3, 6 or 12 months, either as a gift or for yourself. The plans range from a single air plant or a single succulent up to three or four succulents per shipment. Every order includes a plant care guide, and the site also offers access to a live plant doctor for questions. The company promises to replace any plant that arrives unhealthy. The appeal is simple: small, low maintenance plants that suit beginners and fit on a windowsill or desk. The limits are also clear. The smaller plans send only one plant per shipment, so collectors may find the pace slow. The homepage also doesn't explain how varieties are chosen or whether you can avoid getting the same plant twice. Live plants shipped by mail can also suffer in very hot or cold weather. Overall, it is a sensible, beginner friendly way to add small plants to an indoor collection on a regular schedule.
