Frequently Asked Questions
Product Details
Are your tiny plants real?
Yes, these are real, live plants! They grow just like any other succulent.
Do the plants actually grow?
Yes, they grow slowly due to the tiny pots, similar to bonsai.
How long do they live?
With proper care, these tiny plants can live as long as any other succulent. Some of our original plants have been thriving in their tiny pots for over a year. Once repotted, they can grow into full-sized succulents.
What is an adoption kit?
When you adopt a plant, you’ll receive a certificate of adoption. The kit encourages you to name, feed, and care for your tiny plant!
How do you get your plants to be so small?
We grow them! The small pots limit the amount of nutrients the plants get, which slows their growth and keeps them tiny.
Where do you get your pots?
We make them ourselves!
Where do you get your plant stands?
We design and manufacture them in San Diego.
Can I repot the plants?
Absolutely! Repotting helps them grow faster into regular-sized succulents. You can even propagate new tiny plants by taking a leaf from a full-sized plant and replanting it in a tiny pot.
Plant Adoption & Ordering
How long does it take for my order to ship?
We typically ship orders within 5-7 business days. Once your plant is ready for its new home, you’ll receive a confirmation with tracking information.
Can I return my tiny plant?
Unfortunately, we do not accept returns or refunds. All adoptions are FINAL. Please review the adoption listing page and our policies prior your transaction if you have any questions or concerns. Every item is carefully inspected before being made available for adoption. If your plant doesn't look too well, send us a picture and we'll help you figure out what's wrong.
Can I cancel my order?
Yes, orders can be cancelled only up until the item has been shipped. Please email us at info@succufarm.com for assistance.
Why didn't I get an order or shipping confirmation?
You will receive automated confirmation emails to the address provided at checkout. Please check your spam folder, as our emails may have ended up there. To ensure future communications reach your inbox, kindly mark our emails as 'Not Spam'.
How long can I leave my package outside before it should be retrieved?
Your package should be retrieved as soon as possible. We recommend bringing it inside on the day of delivery, especially in areas with extreme weather conditions.
How long can I leave my tiny plant in its original adoption box?
If you adopted a thimble cactus, it can stay in its adoption box for up to 2 weeks without light or water, and it will be just fine during that time.
All other plants will require more immediate care upon arrival. If you're planning to gift your tiny plant, consider removing it from the adoption box to provide water and light until you're ready to give it away.
Plant Care
Can they survive without much sunlight?
Yes, they’re adaptable to low-light environments, like offices with artificial light. However, for the best growth, place them in bright, indirect sunlight. A window sill with indirect light is a foolproof spot for most plants in our collection.
I just received my tiny plant, when should I water it?
If you adopted a thimble cactus, you can wait up to two weeks! For all other plants, please water them as soon as you receive them.
How much water does my plant need?
If you adopted a thimble cactus, it requires just a few drops of water every two weeks.
For all other plants, water them once a week on average. Water generously to ensure the entire soil is moist. These tiny pots make it difficult to overwater, as the water evaporates quickly. For more details, please refer to our Care Instructions for more details.
Do I need to prune my plant?
Not all plants need pruning. If you have a leafy plant, remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep it healthy. If it grows too tall, a light trim can help it branch out beautifully.
What do I do if my plant tips over?
Gently reposition it in its pot and use any extra soil provided to support the plant. Tweezers can be helpful for delicate adjustments.
