About

We're Nick + Gianna

And every succulent we sell — every one — was rooted by hand. Mine. In a 200-square-foot RV.

This is the small story behind a small brand. We don't think it has to stay small forever, but we don't think it should pretend to be bigger than it is, either.

Everything else has a name attached to it. The coffee comes from one small roastery, the matcha from a single Japanese farm, the stoneware from a potter we work with directly, and our starter bonsai from a specialist grower. We'll name each of them here as the paperwork clears. The succulents are the part that's mine.

How this started

Sip n' Suc started on a windowsill. We were living full-time in a 200-square-foot RV — Nick was running a different business, I was building a UGC creator business — and somewhere between Joshua Tree and Morro Bay, I started propagating succulents.

It was an accident at first. A leaf fell off a plant I'd had for two years. I didn't throw it away. Three weeks later it had a root. Six weeks later it was a tiny plant. I started doing it on purpose. Then in batches.

Six months in, I had thirty succulents on the kitchen counter, ten on the windowsill, and six in the bathroom. Friends started asking. I started selling them out of the RV at farmers' markets in Morro Bay. Every one of them survived their first winter — which is the bar.

That's where the brand starts. Not from a business plan. From a counter.

What we sell, and why

Four things, paired the way they're actually used in our morning:

Plants. Hand-propagated by Gianna in our RV, using only the three or four varieties that survive forgetful watering and low light. Echeveria 'Lola', Haworthia fasciata, Sedum 'Burrito'. We tested all of them in our own apartment-equivalent first — and all three are non-toxic to cats and dogs, which is not something most houseplants can claim.

Coffee. One bag at a time, slow-roasted by a small partner roastery — single-origin Latin American whole bean, with the actual roast date stamped on the bag. We picked this coffee because it's the one we drink, not because the bag photographs well. We'll name the roastery here as soon as the partnership is signed.

Matcha. Ceremonial-grade, sourced from a small Japanese farm partner. Comes with a hand-cut bamboo whisk and scoop because anything less is a tea bag.

Ceramics. Hand-thrown speckled stoneware mugs from our pottery partner. Each one slightly different — that's the point.

The Sip Box pairs them: coffee or matcha, a small succulent, and a hand-thrown mug. One delivery, three small things that make a slow morning feel like a real one.

The promise we make on every order

Live Arrival Guarantee. If your plant arrives damaged, email us within 72 hours of delivery with a photo and your order number. Your choice: a replacement on the next Monday shipment, or a full refund. We answer within 2 business days.

We ship Monday and Tuesday only, so nothing sits in a warehouse over a weekend.

Every succulent is propagated, potted and packed by hand, here. There's no warehouse and no fulfillment center — it's two people, one RV, and a small kitchen counter. Our ceramics come from a partner studio and ship separately.

A day in our RV

Mornings start with coffee — because that's how we got here. The plants get checked: bone-dry soil, watering can, twenty minutes. Whatever order is queued gets packed before noon, with a heat pack between November and March. Our pottery partner ships the mugs separately. The succulents go out Monday and Tuesday, wrapped in recycled tissue.

That's the whole operation. We're not pretending it's anything bigger.

Stay close

The waitlist is the warm channel — first access to new drops, first heads-up on Sip Box openings (we cap at 100 founding members, who lock $99/mo for 12 months with first right to renew at the founding rate), and a slow-morning email every few weeks from the RV.

From our hands to yours,
Gianna + Nick
