My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Received my first month of succulents from Succulent Studios. They ran a promotion to get 3 succulents just for the price of shipping. It’s a monthly subscription box for $10 + shipping every month: you get 2 new ones.

I’m only trying for another two months or so: what in the world would I do with all that succulent after a year?!

Anyhow, these little guys are so cute and arrived healthy! They’re currently resting in my repurposed soup bowl (hairline crack). I appreciate the included instruction cards to know how to take care of them. Hope this is the beginning of happy succulent raising!

Nicely packaged and moist

    That’s a nice deal to get some plants. I love succulents and these you got are really pretty. 🙂

      Thanks Barbara! I think they’re a great deal too. I’m surprised by the trio they sent! If they grow well, you can propagate them.

    How fun! That’s a great subscription for a few months. Can’t wait to see what else you get!

      It’s a pretty good deal to start a small collection. If they grow offshoots, you could propagate them, which would be so good. I’ve propagated my aloe plant and have some experience with it.

    WordPress is acting up – the last post before I go outside and two of the pics were white, no pic. Sigh. My mom had cacti gardens for years on her windowsill. A lot of small cacti planted in a row and she loved them. Give them lots of sun and minimal water and they’ll thrive.

      eeek! I hate it when WP acts up.
      Yes, I think you said your mom had a Christmas cacti? I hope ours thrive. They are so plump and healthy now.

        Me too – I worry about my theme. It’s a simple, but old theme (Twenty Ten is what it’s called) and I worry they’ll retire it and send me an e-mail to that effect and I have to sit and change it ASAP. My mom had lots of small cacti and a Christmas cactus, but it never got that big. My grandmother did have a beautiful Christmas cactus – she had it for years and years and it sat on her Singer treadle sewing machine … the sewing machine was wide and had a wooden to and it sat at the back kitchen window, a perfect location. I often wonder who got it as it was her pride and joy and whenever someone came to visit at the holidays and it was blooming, she showed it off.
