I called the store to ask about a plant they had on their website. They explained they didn't keep them in stock (I'm local and was willing to go in). I ordered it and received the tiniest plant I have ever seen - it looked lost in it's 2" pot. I've since found their Etsy store and seen some of the photos of others that have bought this plant. Some complained the plant was very small but the related photos show plants much bigger than what I received. I guess they don't care about repeat business and maybe because I didn't order from Etsy they figured they could give me an unfairly small plant. Well, I'm a plant lover, I love to give plants as gifts, and they've lost all of my potential business. read more

I first was introduced to NY City Succulents months ago at a Yelp Event. I loved the plants so much, I had to come back for round two! Pros: + Great Variety of Plants + Pet Friendly + Yes, they are pretty idiot-resistant. I do not have a green thumb and I still managed to let my plants last 6 months so far. Fingers crossed! + Julio is so responsive and goes out of his way to help answer questions! Cons: - A little pricey, but you are paying for quality IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

I reached out to Julio, because I was having difficulty deciding whether or not to buy a Grom or a node from other places, and he had an actual live Plant. Julio was fabulous! He gave me the information I needed for which to make a decision. And although the option through his shop is fastly more expensive, I feel confident that it was the right decision for me and my soon to be Plant Baby! My excited soon to be Plant Mama self is expecting!!! ¡Les deseo muchas bendiciones por su generosidad y sabiduría! read more

I was looking for a local plant store and found this place with the help of Yelp. I had a great experience! My friend and I were looking to add to our personal plant collections. I've been looking for a medium/large size plant and my friend was looking for a cat friendly plant. The owner gave us great insight and recommendations! Customer service was 5/5! He helped me load a relatively large plant into my car. The shop itself was so aesthetically pleasing. There is an unique assortment of plants and pots. They also sell soaps and candles. read more

Saw this cute plant shop as I was heading to the subway last week. They are conveniently located just off the R train on Steinway Street. There were a couple of cute and unusual looking succulents displayed outside their storefront which made me want to go in. The shop mainly sells succulents (hence the name) but I saw that they also had some other plants like ferns, mini orchids, aloe and cacti. They also sell hand-crafted candles and soaps and small pottery. Staff were very friendly and made a point of chatting with customers, answering questions, etc. I would say this store a great option if you are looking for a housewarming gift, a plant for your office, looking to decorate your home or whatnot. read more

I haven't written a Yelp post in a very long time so this means a lot for me to write this review. I saw a post on NY City Succulent's Instagram promoting their Houseplant Arrangement class and my friend and I quickly registered online. As soon as we got there, we were mesmerized by all of beautiful plants and the large variety they had in store (that pun was intended). Our class of 8 was fit comfortably in the space with Stephanie and Julio as our knowledgeable and passionate instructors. They were super friendly and were very open to the myriad of questions the group had. Aside from learning about different ways to style our plants, their needs, and other classes, they shared with us how meticulously and thoughtfully planned everything was about NY City Succulents. From the planter colors to the candle selection to their Instagram posts, everything has been carefully decided to stay current with today's trends vs the older shops in the area. For the $50, we were able to take home two plants with a medium sized planter. Considering each plant was $20, this was a great deal. I highly recommend this as a wholesome date night activity. Even if you don't come for a class, pop in the store anyways! read more

Julio sold me a dying variegated banana musa on his Etsy store: nycsucculents. It took very long to get a tracking update from him, after I got my order the plant was not doing well at all, I reached out to tell him the heater pack burn the plant and it's very soft, I sent him a photo and his first response was "I see a new leaf", "keep me updated". The plant was kept in a humidity dome with proper moisture and temperature, it was dead. I reached out to show Julio the plant is dead sending a photo and have been ignored since January 27th. $97.08 for a dead plant shipped from what had to be a third party is way too expensive for anyone to pay. Do not make my mistake go somewhere trustworthy and cares about their customers. If I could give less stars I would. read more

Latino owned Family business alert!! Absolutely love coming here! The owners are so knowledgeable and passionate about plants and it creates a inviting and warm environment. Their planters are absolutely beautiful! Every plant I've gotten from here FLOURISH! I've also done one of their plant arrangement classes where they teach you how to repot plants. You get to keep what you arrange which includes a plant or succulent, planter, soil and decorative rocks. I've included a picture of the plant I arranged. The classes are such a cute and fun idea for a date or activity to do with your friends. read more

Was hesitant of this place at first with the prices, but upon researching I found that their prices are pretty standard for boutique plant stores. I bought a small snake plant and a pot and it came to $70. It was worth it for the personalized touch, they potted it very aesthetically as in my photo. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly but doesn't hover over you while you're browsing. read more

What a beautiful store. Such a nice selection of succulents & cacti. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable. The prices are affordable. If you are in Astoria Queens & need some gift ideas or just want to treat yourself to some beautiful plants come here! (They also stock candles & handmade soap) Two thumbs way up. read more

A great spot to find unique plants! I haven't been able to find a String of Hearts plant anywhere else in all of Astoria. This place has a nicely curated variety of succulents & cacti, and a lot of nice leafy plants. They also have a unique assortment of pots, ranging from minis to larger ones for floor plants. Other giftable items include lovely candles and soaps made in Upstate NY. I have a TON of plants already so I wound up getting an amazing smelling citrine candle, and some pebbles to decorate a particular plant I have at home. It's a good place for plant accessories like moss poles etc. Some of the plants I found a bit overpriced for my budget, you can find them at the other stores nearby for cheaper, but the unique ones you really can't find elsewhere and are well worth the price! I'll definitely stop by again to see newness. read more

Now look, I only really review places I'm pleased with, so my reviews are all 5 stars. But let me tell you, if I could give NY City Succulents 10 stars I damn well would!! I normally do all my reporting/soil changes myself, as I don't trust anyone else to handle my plants. However, my monstera's just gotten too big to handle alone, so a friend mentioned to me that he'd recently taken his bird of paradise in to NY City Succulents for the same reason and highly recommended them. Considering A.) I got this guy into plants, and B.) he's about as discerning as they come, I decided to suck it up and give them a call. For a SUPER reasonable price, they were willing to repot in a provided pot or do a soil change- I ended up doing a soil change, as I couldn't find a nursery pot at the right size. Because of that, I was a bit worried my monstera might be rootbound and told them they could do any trimming or adjusting as needed to get her happy in her current pot. Upon picking her up, boy was I immediately pleased! She looks so happy in the new soil, clearly she was handled with the utmost care- not a single injured leaf, and the owner was clearly as in love with her as I am! They let me know the state of her roots, any and all changes they needed to make, and let me know that she was overall super healthy, which I was thrilled to hear. I will absolutely be back for any repotting needs, as well as to add to my collection (even tho I swore I was done) as they have a number of hard to find variants I haven't found in the city. In particular- whale tail and moonshine sansevieria, two of my must haves! Definitely stop in if you love your plants read more

my order took forever to reach me (was supposed to be 3-day shipping). So, I reached out to Julio to ask if my plant would survive being boxed up so long. No response at all! I then called the USPS service to see if they could track my package. They weren't sure. The package was lost somewhere in WV. Dwayne from the USPS service said not to worry there is a $100 protection on my package. I reached out to Julio again, but there was no response regarding my package possibly being lost. Once I received my Albo the the root was pure mush. I sent him pictures. Told him I understand the shipping wasn't his fault, wasn't Ride or nasty......and guess what. No flipping response. I waited 3  business days before I wrote his review. read more

This has become my Go-To place and #placetobe. Everyone is super sweet and they always have new and exciting plants. I also love their pot selection. They carry lots of hard to come by plants which I really appreciate. I've also made requests for some wishlist plants which they've gotten in for me. The value is great. Hands down my favorite shop in the city and always making an excuse to stop in, even just to say hi. Thank you NYCity Succulents for everything and for helping me finally have my indoor jungle I've always dreamed of. read more

Barely any succulents to speak of. Recommend Home Depot. They had tons. We filled our terrace.

The stores right across from the R and it's definitely worth a visit. It's by no means large for a nursery, but it's more of a quality over quantity for several reasons. 1. The plants are happy and healthy. I've been to some places where the stores asked a lot of money for a dying plant, overcrowded on some back shelf. These are super healthy and look great 2. It's got generous hours and consistent schedules. I live in LIC and there's a plant store that is seriously never open when I drop by. It's a lovely place but seems like it's ALWAYS closed even though the google hours say it should be open. There's another great nursery south in Greenpoint but it's closed in mondays (also known as the day before Valentine's Day) 3. The price. I snagged a beautiful Bird of Paradise for only $70. Its 47 inches tall and was a perfect gift. If I would have gotten it at the sill, it would have been 88, dying, and 7-17 inches shorter. (Their large is 30-40 inches) You can make it a day in Astoria by getting some good food one block north and a little west. Just hop on yelp and there's a few 5 star restaurants next door. read more
