Miroja is a subscription box that focuses on minimalist design and plants! They have several different subscription options, and I am reviewing the Small Surprise Gift Box - it includes one plant, and one home item.

This box includes some fragile cargo, so I'm happy to report that it was packaged very well!

This box comes with a card that gives you details on where to get plant care instructions. And details on how to set up your plant:

Now, onto the items!

Time to put together the plant! First, you get a ceramic planter.

I love the minimalist design of this little planter - and it's exactly the type of style I was expecting from this subscription.

First, add these drainage rocks to your planter.

What a cute little succulent!

Miroja also includes extra soil if you need it.

Beetle + Bones Apothecary Floral Bath Tea - Value $10

This bath tea/bath salt blend can be used with or without a tea bag, (I opted without). It was relaxing and smelled lovely! A+ bath salts!

Verdict: This box cost $29.99, and I received everything I needed for a tiny succulent planter, plus some lovely bath salts. The quality of the items is great, and I love the minimalist vibe, but since the bath salts are $10, are the succulent + planter worth $20? I'm pretty sure I could get a similar plant at Trader Joes or Whole Foods for $10 or less.

To sum up, this is not a subscription for anyone seeking a good retail value. However, as someone who often sends flowers online knowing very well that I could get them for much less at my local grocery store, I can acknowledge that there is a premium price on sending plants in the mail. If you're OK with that extra cost, I think you will like this subscription.

What do you think of Miroja?

One thing I have noticed about the succulents available for cheap at places like Home Depot is that they are not supplied with the proper potting material or they’ll put 2-3 plants with different care requirements in the same planter. I killed a bunch of them before I figured that out. They do OK for a few weeks. But then they die.

I had Miroja (the $50/month version) for awhile and my plants from there are doing much better. I don’t know if it equals the full cost difference, but based on my experience, the Miroja plants were better equipped to survive long-term.

That’s good to know! So far my little plant is doing well, too!
