Click show more...and please subscribe! ↑(◕ᴗ◕✿) I thought it would be fun and informative to open the box from our Texas Succulent Swap with y'all! Watch me unwrap and demonstrate how to wrap* succulents for shipping in the mail. I also explain how to set up a swap so you can host your own plant-mail party!
The first 15 minutes are of the unboxing and the rest shows me filling it back up with plants for the next recipient, a very special lady named Becky who just got married and used some of the swap sucs in her wedding bouquet - you'll get to see some photos of the results!
*Wrapping demo starts at 15:18

Hey Andrea! I just got into growing succulents a while back, and your videos were one of the first I found. I gotta tell ya, there is no other place I'd rather go for advice on stuff I'm dealing with with my plants than your content. Thank you for being so informative, funny, and weird. I love your channel, and look forward to more content! - Gavin

Maybe start one yourself Carmen! And don't limit yourself to one state... they can last a few days in the box without problems - unless it's super hot or super cold. You can also join our FB group and see if anyone wants to join you! I know there's some AZ people, as well as NM, CA, and other nearby states ... ;)

This looks like so much fun! Sadly, I'd only have the most basic of basic plants to share. Maybe there are other people who'd like a swap circle of beginners on low budgets. Even if we all send the same common varieties...it'd be sweet to box and to open.
@SucsForYou
@SucsForYou 3 года назад
I suggest joining a local succulent group on Facebook and volunteering to organize it. Post asking for statewide/nearby folks who are interested to DM you and consider starting a group chat, gather addresses, then go from there. I am still in regular contact with all of my fellow swappers on Instagram direct messages. Our first swap began before Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and we're all in Texas so it was great being able to communicate with each other before, throughout, and afterwards :)
