Not to bash flowers as a gift even more, but one of the most depressing aspects of the entire ordeal is watching the flowers wither and die before throwing them out. It’s grim, we know. That’s why hardy succulents and cacti make for a better gift – with the right amount of care they can live for a long time. The Succy Bunch specialises in sourcing and delivering unique and beautiful plants in striking pots that brighten up any nook.

The latest range of deliverable foliage includes a Moroccan-inspired range of succulents and cacti. Customers can select between a blue planter with a hawthoria attenuate succulent (also known as a zebra plant) or a turmeric-tinged planter housing a mammillaria bocasana cactus – known as a powder puff cactus to many. Previous weeks have offered intricate planters containing the likes of Black Prince echeveria. The Succy Bunch delivers to the Brisbane metro area on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with orders for a specific delivery day taken the day before. Head to The Succy Bunch’s website to get a closer look at the gifts available, or catch The Succy Bunch at St. Mary of the Cross School in Windsor for a giant cacti and succulent pop-up sale!
