OC Succulents began as a small family greenhouse with a simple focus. Grow healthy plants people can rely on. Over the last fifty years that focus has shaped who we are and how we work. Today we operate multiple locations, supply retailers and landscapers across California, and continue to serve thousands of local shoppers each week.
Our growth has always been rooted in family values. Steady work, long term relationships, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Many of our team members have spent most of their careers here, and their experience shows in the quality of the plants we produce.
Across every location you will find the same approach. Consistent care, honest service, and a standard that has been built over generations. Guided by the Stansbury family, we continue to refine how we grow, select, and deliver plants so our customers can trust what they take home or put into their projects.
OC Succulents is still a family run company. Still focused on cactus, succulents, and houseplants. Still dedicated to helping people succeed with plants that are grown to perform.
