Succulent of the month clubs are the ideal gift for a loved one or yourself. Not only are they easy plants to take care of, but they also offer some health benefits like improved memory, focus and mood, along with better air quality.
Succulents themselves are long-living plants that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They require very little water and care, so they don’t need too much of your time to keep them happy and healthy.
Succulents are a variety of plant that stores water in their leaves, making their leaves thick and fleshy. Though succulents are similar to cacti, they are in a different family.
And if that isn’t enough to get you signed up for a monthly subscription, succulents are ideal for people who lack a green thumb. They are known for the heartiness and ability to thrive in various soils, including low-quality soils. These plants thrive in warm, dry climates.
Also, because succulents come in a variety of sizes, they make the perfect decor accent for the home and office. They can be displayed in decorative artistic pots or more a functional plant and phone holder. But if you lack counter or desk space, they look excellent in hanging baskets.

Succulent Studios
Succulent Studios, based in California, operates its fulfillment center in Longbeach. Succulent Studios not only sells and ships their plants, but they also grow their own plants.

Succulent Studios offers one subscription option that includes two 8-week old organic succulents. The plants are potted in 2-inch biodegradable pots in coconut coir.
The succulents come pre-trimmed and are tenderly packed in special boxes to ensure your plants’ safety. Shipments usually get sent out within 2-3 days after the order is processed. Once your succulents are on their way, you will receive an email with the delivery details.
The pots are suitable for a couple of weeks, but the succulents will require re-planting when the original container softens. The benefit of the biodegradable pots is that they can be planted directly into the new pot. In addition to the plants, each box includes care instructions and an ID card for each succulent.

- Hatiora Salicornioides aka Dancing Bones
- Crassula aka Baby Necklace

Leaf and Clay have over a hundred different succulent and cacti options. So if you are considering several different plant species choosing one of their many variety packs might be just the right choice for you.
However, if you are interested in growing your garden slowly, they have three different subscription boxes. The plant mail club comes in three different time durations:
- Month to Month starting at $19.95
- 3 Months starting at $53.85
- 6 Months starting at $95.70
Each month the recipient receives three-hand picked 2.5-inch plants. Also, each month’s selection will contain different plants so you will never get bored.
Depending on where you choose to have the plants shipped, you may opt to include a heat pack with each shipment to keep your plant warm and healthy. Heat packs come at an additional charge but can be selected when choosing your plan.
Succulent Lovers
Succulent Lovers isn’t as well-known as some of the other items on this list, but the company has some cool subscription choices, including a Succulent Arrangement Planter, a Potter Plant and Cuttings With Planter.
Each of these is a monthly subscription where you’re getting different succulents and planters each month.
The Succulent Arrangement Planter is probably the most interesting subscription. You get at least 2 types of succulent each month in a concrete or ceramic planter. The arrangement varies from month to month.
This subscription is surprisingly inexpensive, costing just $22 if you pay each month. Paying for 3, 6 or 12 months at a time decreases the monthly cost a little.
Mountain Crest Gardens
Mountain Crest Gardens offers a single monthly subscription box for $19.95 per month. Members receive 4 unique potted supplements every month, along with a mystery bonus plant.
Collectible plant info cards are included too, along with a care guide. The first box also comes with a foliage cleaning brush. Mountain Crest Gardens guarantees that there will be no repeats for years, so you can be certain that you’ll get plenty of variety.
A heat pack can be added on for $3.75 per month to protect plants in the colder months.
Each month of the club follows a theme. For example, the theme for December was Low Light Lovers, while February’s theme was Pretty in Pink.
