Succulent and Cactus Bonsai DIY Rocks, Black Galaxy

About the Succulent and Cactus Bonsai DIY Rocks, Black Galaxy

Black Galaxy Rocks are a highly sophisticated top dressing, particularly when uniformly applied to your potted succulents. The deep color of these rocks enhances the cleanliness of the plants and accentuates their appearance. They are also suitable for decorating plants in office spaces, giving them a more formal and serious look. With smaller particle sizes compared to most top dressings, Black Galaxy Rocks are often used for mini succulent arrangements, such as lithops. Please note that due to black's heat-absorbing nature, it's best not to use Black Galaxy Rocks for outdoor succulent decorations in summer to prevent the soil from getting too hot.

How to use Succulent and Cactus Bonsai DIY Rocks, Black Galaxy

Top Dressing: With their simple yet elegant black color, Black Galaxy Rocks are the perfect complement for various potted lithops plants and lithops arrangements, as well as some bonsai-style plants. This inorganic material serves as top dressing to prevent soil bacteria and mosquitoes, as well as soil splash during watering.

DIY Projects: If your gardening DIY projects, such as terrariums or dish gardens, require black accents, don't overlook Black Galaxy Rocks. You can also combine them with white decorative rocks for a more striking visual effect.

In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package. Estimated shipping times are offered as needed.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
