Do you suggest the succulent cuttings, or the succulents potted in 2inch pots to make succulent terrariums for wedding center pieces? need by 10/31/14

Definitely go with the potted succulents. Succulents grow quickly, but you're looking for a WOW factor. You will pay more money up front, but the plants can be used for other things after the wedding. Have fun and congratulations!

I think in your case it would be based on economics. Since you are putting them in terrariums they will appear to be rooted and stay in place, even if you choose the cuttings. They only take a short amount of time to form rudimentary roots, and there should be sufficient time as you will receive them within 5 days from ordering. On the other hand, the ones in the 2" pots are usually larger and more "developed". Hope this helpful.

Yes, get root grow for the cuttings.. now with the cool evenings they will grow. Either way will work... everyone of the plants have thrived and are now BIG enough to do cuttings for next spring.

The succulents in the 2 inch pots are nice because they are already rooted (they are more sturdy) and we received a nice variety, but they are all fairly similar in size. The cuttings had more variety when it came to size and shouldn't be much trouble not being rooted if they are going to be secure in a terrarium (most of them had fairly decent stems), mine have already started growing little roots but nothing substantial. Hope this helps!

I did, about a week later. Bought an orchid clay pot, Oncidium soil mix and orchid plant spikes. All are sold a Home Depot. My orchid is still going strong. Lots of new growth.

You might want to contact the company directly. They are great getting back in answers and any help you need. Fast, also. I have had my plants since May and they are doing great and getting bigger.

Hello MaryKatz...I will be at our cafe later this afternoon and take a closer look at the rhinestone piece. I know the rhinestones were in a single mesh piece, so you probably can cut it lengthwise...let me check it out and advise. The piece is really nice as a 4-row strand for cake layer bases...good quality. MB

These plants are tiny and would probably be lost at a wedding. 4-6 inches tall. The other problem would be these would be in pots. I would suggest going to a garden center and see what they might have. Good Luck

You could...but I don't know how long they would hold up. Maybe succulents that didnt' require much water. I would look elsewhere for planters though.

these came in very small plastic pots, maybe 1 1/2 inches so you may need to fill with more than one succulent. i ordered them early and they have grown but still tiny plants

I like too make stuff too ! , but I think some thing should be bought , might work if it don't cause fire , If your thinking of using to flower plants, buy the real thing

Yes, you can keep them in the pots they come in--- for a time. I think I ordered them about a month before I needed them and they were fine. Stay inside with bright light.Of course the pots are small, so at some point they'll need to be transplanted into something larger. I used them as 'gifts' for an event I was hosting.I've also seen them planted into pot saucers, so you can put several together.

I think the flowers would stay to wet....my opinion, I would use smaller flower pots that you can take out and drain, or put fresh cut flowers in small mason jars that would fit in slots, very cute. I use as silverware and napkin caddies for buffet type dining. I like the rustic look.

I think a indoor terrarium is acceptable unless you get a warm winter and keep it moist if so they might grow I personally would get a living plant or a purple pitcher plant or a red Asian pitcher plant also try a sundew or a venus fly trap.

mine started rooting within one to two weeks, but the growth rate depends on the species, viney/stem succulents doubled their size in two months, but rosettes were pretty much unchanged.. I recommend buying the rosette only succulent packages for wedding favors just for uniformity, you can get them from $1.50 - $2.00 each (I purchased them before for my friend's wedding).. but imo even a single clipping resting in a clear plastic cup with a layer of substrate looks amazing and the guests can grow them out themselves, just a thought

I am sorry I have do not have an answer for you. We are in zone 9. Bought 2 year old plants. We are letting them grow fully this summer and will cut back for next spring's harvest. 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!

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!!
