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 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 and plant arrangements. We create party favors, head crowns, pictures frames, succulent jewelry and so much 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, tropical plants and more. We are a traveling business. Feel free to check out our website here Soulfulsucculents.net and see what are your options. You can see most of our work on Instagram @soulful_succulents and see pictures of our personal garden. We have also just added @plantsbysoulfulsucculents.

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.

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.
