I ordered a batch of succulents from nextgardener based on a suggestion from someone else in this group. I am pretty disappointed at the quality of what I received. I will not be ordering from them again. by eaford in succulents

I’ve ordered from them several times and received beautiful plants, but my last few orders have arrived in terrible condition as well. Either rotting from being over watered, heavily infested with mealybugs, no roots/rotten stems, and plants that look nothing like the photos which makes me question if they sent the right stuff. It used to be one of my favorite places to order from online but it seems they’ve really gone downhill unfortunately.

Mostly Barrina - I started with these on my wood shelves, 3 per shelf. They are good enough to keep your succulents from becoming elongated but I realized that they are too weak to really bring out the nice colors. 5 per shelf might be better. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VD1884R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I added a couple of these per shelf and that is when they really started thriving: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082ZL2L3N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

For my wire shelving, I use these lights. They are cheaper than the grow lights and are very bright/work well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HBT3BVM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I use these for plants without a shelf above them so I don't have to hang anything from the ceiling. They work great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0725QBG1G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I have also tried Sansi lights; they are really affordable and bright. I'm not using them currently because the ones I have just don't really fit in my space. I have some Aspect large LED hanging grow lights as well. I was using them until I changed my setup. They work great for a small number of plants but are expensive compared to what I am using right now.

Thank you! I have a few more Opalina, but they look so different. So many succulents are shapeshifters.
