About Us

Hi! My name is Maria and I am the owner of The Sandy Succulent. I have a Master's in Meteorology, but my love for plants all began when I wanted to add a few plants to my moms landscape (it needed a lot of love).  Before you know it, I redesigned her whole landscape and fell in love with gardening design, plants and even the science behind them. Fast forward a year, I decided to arrange a succulent pot for her and a friend, knowing it would need less maintenance for them. I also started testing out air plants and decor. I fell in LOVE with these plants! The endless possibilities and different species, shapes, colors, sizes and just all around UNIQUENESS of succulents and air plants made me obsessed. Succulents are great plants to have in different lighting settings and there are so many DIY crafts you can do with them. It took some trial and error to understand how to care for these plants, but once I learned, there was no going back! I started my own succulent garden which gained traction locally to family and friends. I then started selling succulents, air plants, and doing succulent landscape and pot arrangements locally. Once I became a "pro", I decided to sell and ship on Facebook Marketplace domestically, which I have done very well on and have over 200, 5 start reviews! I wanted a place where my customers would return to instead of facebook, and to remember where they got their lovely plants from. This is the start of my website, so bare with me while I hopefully get more reviews! I ship only my healthiest plants and when you receive them/open your package, I want you to be extremely excited and pleased. For any questions or even concerns, don't hesitate to contact me! I will always want to make it right or help. Thank you so much for supporting my personal and small business.
