They are not that large, so it may be better to go to a garden centre for a larger plant...If you are giving away as bridal shower favours then would also suggest that you dressed the container up or pop the plant in a nice inexpensive outer container to make the favour special. Another idea is to put them in aluminium pots with raffia...there are plenty of ideas on various websites on how to dress the favours up.

They just come in small black greenhouse production pots. Not too attractive. You could replant them into nicer 2" to 3" planters, but it would probably be easier to make a decorative wrap with foil or paper using the existing planter, and tie with some nice ribbon. A nice wide decorative ribbon might work all by itself. Your florist could probably give you some good ideas.

I would think you would need to re-pot them. They come in small plastic containers like you might see at a garden store when buying herbs or small plants. It would be okay to give but the pots need dressed up a bit for a bridal shower.

Hi, what a neat idea for shower favors! These are in individual pots so you wouldn't need to repot them but if you chose to you'd probably want 4x4 at the largest-they come in 2x2" pots. We loved them! -Chastidy

Hi! I order so many because I own a business doing exactly that (favors, centerpieces, etc.) so I'm not 100% sure if these came potted, if the description says they did, they came in little plastic terra cotta colored containers. I would cover them in brown paper or burlap or repot for a shower! You can see some ideas on my Instagram page (Piccola Pianta)! Good Luck!!! Toni Freda

That would be a nice gift, but you would have to replant them in small clay pots; foil the base or tie a ribbon around the pot. A note on what it is and how to take care of it would be helpful.

These were really nice. They are small about 2" each & you will need to plant them in containers. We had a business making pots & used them for arrangements. They would work really well for gifts & you could plant several in unique square or oval containers and add some nice pebbles, river rock, shells, bamboo or wood chips. I would definitely buy these again.

Mine do, but I might have drilled them to add them. Sorry, but I don't remember! Even so, if I did, I would have used a regular drill bit to do so. I LOVE these pots. The succulents I planted in them have thrived!!

Personally, I wouldn't. Repot them into different pots a bit larger with cactus/succulent soil. It drains quicker so your plants don't get root rot. Also, the pots they come in are paper thin and these guys grow pretty quick if treated well.

Some of mine were - but defintely not all of them. Many (probably 70+) already had hardy leaves as big or bigger than a penny each. But, these are great for pulling off leaves to propagate your own succulents if you have the time and patience. I did that and I now have hundreds of plates from teeny to medium-sized. Good luck!

I think so. They're pretty small though so it depends on how big or small the succulent is. They're really pretty . Good luck!

Good day, I received mine in a 4" pot and immediately transplanted it in a 6" pot. It has grown quickly and I will soon be moving to an 8" pot. I have had the best luck with all my tropical plants by increasing the pot by two inches until it gets root bound then going larger. Ultimately, if you will be bringing it indoors, I wouldn't go larger than a five gallon pot preferably on wheels. Hope this helps.

I was well pleased with my order, but my intent was not as specific. I just wanted to see what they were like, as i had never experienced succulents. They are fun, and can be placed in many different vessels for many different effects. Mine are all still alive!!!! i would suggest you contact the seller to see what they have at this time. Sorry, not as knowledgeable as you.

I would use all you got in your package, if they were like mine maybe if you are lucky about 6 would germinate and you would get tiny, not nice,flowers. Would not recommend doing this.

Hi. The plants I ordered are doing well. I've lost only one, and I think it was mostly my fault.

Yes, it is the plant and very small. I couldn't believe how much it had grown. It's been several years since I purchased it, and we have had numerous offshoots from it...Right now we have two large plants from the original one we purchased in pots that are about 18" in diameter.

Brussells uses a heavy soil so their Bonsais are hard to get used to. I go by weight. When I first got mine I submerged it in water in the kitchen sink......wait for the bubbles to subside. When you take it out....notice the weight. You want to let it dry but not completely. If you do this, every 2-3 days should be fine, unless you have it in full sun or something...then you would need to water it more. I don't like Brussells bonsai's. Primarily due to their soil. They have sent me sick plants with no resolution so I don't buy from them anymore.

I broke mine into groups of 5.. Then put them into 3" glass cubes with pebbles on the bottom (pebbles and glass cubes from $ store). Tied a ribbon around then to keep than together ....then keep cube filled 1" up to keep roots wet.... I uses the bamboo as a party favor... Most of them are still beautiful a year later.. I think the trick is to keep the roots wet .. Good luck

The Topsy Turvey holds the plant. It's a great way to grow. When is the first frost for you? Also, I hear you can reuse these although we haven't tried it. Will the plant last until the frost? If it will then the TT will.

About 6 weeks before the event I planted 3-4 of the little tubers in 6" pots with potting soil and tied a ribbon around the pot to give them as favors. The tubers in the pack of 25 were of various sizes, so I tried to make sure each pot had at least one good size tuber. Keep in mind even the "good size" tubers are small. Keep them in a sunny window and water every couple of days when the soil dries out.

I separated all and put in small pots. If half make it I will be happy. They ship a lot in one pot so it looks like a great plant. I have lost 5 plants out of all that I got. Good luck.

Hello Christine, I apologize for your inconvenience. the pot should be a standard clay pot with a lip as shown in the image with the hand. Other flower pots can be used , but it's important to have a lip that will slide into the Pot Klip. I'll go to your original amazon order and send a photo of the types of pots that are ideal. I hope this helps. Have a great weekend.
