About Us
“As I watched my succulents grow, my soul became calmer.”
Soulful Succulents is a small business in Southern California (bordering LA/Orange County Area) . We host a variety of succulent and flower workshops all over Southern California. Our events are called "Sip 'n' Succs." We have a great time sipping on drinks (cider, wine, etc - depending on the locale) and creating gorgeous arrangements. We also provide private parties all over Southern California. We provide all materials you need to make the arrangement. We create a variety of custom succulent, flowers, and plant arrangements. We also create party favors, head crowns, pictures frames, succulent jewelry, succulent hearts, wreaths, crosses and more. We host POP UP shops and Succulent bars for any event. We sell succulents individually from our garden. We also sell house plants, air plants, and tropical plants. We are a traveling business.

Owner
Hello friends! My name is Maritza Mendoza-Aguirre. Thank you so much for stopping by Soulful Succulents. I grew up surrounded by tropical plants and now I’m surrounded by succulents, house plants, and tropical plants. Succulents and all my plants have been so healing for me. Succulents really helped me during a difficult time of my life. I had lost my voice for 5 months due to a polyp and had some succulents left over from my son's graduation party. I used those to start my garden. And now it's probably 10 times bigger. Succulents gave me HOPE and STRENGTH. From a withered leaf that had fallen from a succulent I started to notice little roots and then little pups (babies) growing. This gave me hope that little by little my voice would come back. In my complete silence I became in love with succulents. They were therapeutic and meditative for me and I hope my arrangements, succulents, and plants can do that for you. I personally hand pick each piece and create each piece sold. I love to spend time in my garden and cut clippings for my arrangements, workshops, and private parties. I love to take care of my own indoor and outdoor urban jungle. I love how my plants clean the air in our family home and how they provide life and good energy to every space I’m in. I would love to share my passion with you and teach you about succulents and plants. I was a teacher for 10 years, took a break and now I am back. Now I do get to stop and not smell the roses, but stare and gaze at my succulents and plants.

Big News
Hey friends,
We can't believe that this is our eighth year in business. I started selling out of my yard and now I am workin with wonderful large and small business. In 2024 we added the LA Arboretum, Teacher Creative Materials, and Anthem Blue Cross. We also have many private parties going on our calendar with some large corporations. Simply feeling blessed to be workshopping and selling at some of my ultimate goal places. I just need to achieve 1 extra special place. And of course we continue to be so excited to be at The Sherman Library & Gardens. We have already hosted several SOLD OUT workshops there.. We feel so blessed.
Last year we had the great opportunity of working with Union Mezcal. We were in LA's Art District at Cha Cha Cha's. It was an absolute stellar event. We had a 50 person SOLD OUT workshop at
Miramonte Winery in Temecula. We are planning our next visit. We also worked with the Hilton, Waterfront, Huntington Beach. Such a beautiful venue working with a great group of women.
We have worked with Chevron and had a great private workshop. We were pleased to work with 21 Seeds Tequila in 2022. We were at the Bungalow in Huntington Beach and at Casita Hollywood with them. Both events were amazing. We met a lot of great people and made fantastic connections. Our first event was with 250 people. It was absolutely gorgeous. Our background was the beach. The owners of 21 Seeds are amazing. Our second event at Casita Hollywood was so elegant. We made such beautiful succulent creations.
We were also blessed with the Hyatt Centric, Long Beach.. The venue is beautiful. We SOLD OUT quite quickly. It was a great success.
A couple of years ago, we were honored to do a nationwide workshop with The Ritz Carlton. We had several Ritz Carltons along with a variety of high end hotels (including Bora Bora) workshop with us. It was a wonderful time had by all. We feel blessed that they choose us to provide them with a creative workshop. So many people joined in the celebration.
Three years ago we felt so blessed that Yelp OC asked us to host a Thanksgiving Centerpiece Succulent Pumpkin Workshop. We had many friends joining in the workshop. It was great to work with YELP.
Also, four years ago we were beyond honored that VENMO chose our small business out of thousands of businesses to represent them. We did a photo shoot/campaign with them. An entire production took place in our workspace/garden shop. Videos, photos of our products, garden and myself were captured. And we were chosen to be the showcase. We can't wait to see the outcome. We are so grateful to have been selected among a large community of small businesses. We worked with so many different companies and I am so happy that they loved our vibe.
A couple of years ago, I was on "My Whittier's" Podcast. I would say it was one of our top interviews. We felt honored to be asked. Check us out our interview.
Did you see us on RHOC (Real Housewives of Orange County? We were seen on TV. We were super excited.
.

Facts
Watering: During the hot weather, make sure to mist your plant at least 2-3 times a week. If you have a succulent garden then make sure to water at least twice a week.
This Summer has been so hot, we are talking triple didgets for days that i even watered once everyday in the morning. On the days that it was over 105 i placed tarps over my succulents
We are now in October and are still experiencing heat waves, so i water every other day.
Succulents favorite water is rain water, but there can be too much rain water. Make sure you have drainage holes in your planters. If there is too much rain then cover your garden with tarps.
Also make sure your succulents get fresh air and partial light.
Now that it’s gotten cold here in Southern California mist your arrangement once a week with a spray bottle and water your garden once a week or every other 2 weeks. If it rains of course you don’t need to water. Depending on the rain, water every 3 weeks.
