My plant arrived in wonderful condition and was larger than expected. I will definitely purchase from this vendor again.
Echeveria 'Biante'
Echeveria 'Biante' is a rare Korean Echeveria, hybrid of E. cuspidata var. zaragozae x E. laui, aka Echeveria 'Viyant', a member of the family Crassulaceae. Its Korean name is 비안트、비얀트. The leaves are ovate and plump with short-pointed tips. Covered with white powdery, aka ''farina'', the leaves quickly turn pink and red while thriving.
How to care for Echeveria 'Biante'
Sun/Location: Like other Echeveria, E. Biante requires indirect bright sunlight to maintain its color and shape form. It can be placed outdoors in spring and fall to get full sunlight. Shade is required in summer to avoid sunburn. In winter, protection from frost is needed.
Soil/Pot: E. Biante prefers loose, well-drained cactus soil mix to thrive. Creating the soil mix in standard potting soil with gritty rocks and perlite or TNG organic soil mix used in many succulent nurseries is a better choice.
Watering: The most potential killer for succulents is overwatering. If you don't know when and how to water your succulents. Click here to learn more about succulent watering.

We pack all shipments by hand.
We have many years of experience shipping live succulents and cactus plants. We pay close attention to packing and have developed an expert shipping method.

It is important to us that you are able to Keep going and Keep growing without any stress about the quality of the product or packaging.
Shipping Speed
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.
HOLIDAYS: During weeks in which a holiday occurs - Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc. - shipping may be delayed until the following week.
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!!!
