Chia Pet Predator with Seed Pack, Decorative Pottery Planter, Easy to Do and Fun to Grow, Novelty Gift, Perfect for Any Occasion

I tried three times to get my Groot to fully grow and three times he was bald. I even followed another reviewer's suggestion and misted him. NOPE. As my title states, fourth time is a charm and he came out great!This is what to do if you don't want a bald Groot:- Use twice as many Chai seeds and less water. I used less than the 1/4 cup of water and the suggested amount of seeds. When I checked after half an hour it was still watery so I added more seeds until I achieved the consistency I wanted which was a very thick gel (the first three times the mix was too watery and they didn't adhere).- Spread seeds on Groot. The thickness of the mixture makes it really easy to spread the seeds where you want them- After the wait period where they dry, fill Groot and -- now this is REALLY important and integral to getting a Groot that's not bald -- put a plastic bag over him. Fill him daily and mist him with a spray bottle. Groot should sprout in a few days. I kept the bag on until he began to look how he does now.That's it! That's all you have to do to get a Groot that's not bald.*One side note: I did run out of the seeds that they provided with my Groot and used some that I had in my pantry. Now I'm not saying those were better BUT, I did achieve the results I wanted so take it for what it's worth*

Who doesn't love Groot! I never had a Chia pet as a kid, so decided to get my kid one. It was fun and we had a few laughs with it, so totally worth it. As far as growing the Chia seeds, first time failed and we got a whole lot of nothing...unless Groot was supposed to have stubbly gray speckled hair. 2nd time, we covered with plastic (around the Chia pet, not on it) to help hold in the moisture. That did the trick. Groot had a full head of hair within a few days. The directions were easy to follow and, minus needing to make something to keep the moisture content high, were complete - although I *think* there might have been mention of this somewhere towards the end outside the main directions. After the seeds started to grow, you can probably get a good week or 2 out of it (water/mist everyday though). Cleanup was super easy, just soak the groot in some water, and the grown chia along with the goop to hold the seeds comes right off. We ended up growing another round after that, and still had plenty of seeds left.

It is VERY hard to do. The initial set up is a solid 1-star nightmare. The seeds just slowly dripped off because the grooves in his hair are not deep enough (think about the ridges in older chia pets). We ended up having to add more seeds to make the paste thicker so that it would actually stick, otherwise it would just slide off and pool in the plastic tray.We had to reapply the seeds at least 7 times while gradually adding more seeds to the mixture each time. Letting it sit for the 10 min and then reapply, hoping we wouldn’t return to it pooled in the tray again. Not sure if it will work since we just did it a couple days ago. The kid couldn’t do it, the adults couldn’t do it. It turned into more of a headache than a joy. We are not quitters, though!!! Haha just hoping the changes we had to make don’t hinder Dusty’s chia growth.I do think it is a cute gift.. It’s very cute so if nothing else, we’ll have a weird Dustin sculpture for the desk 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is my first experience with a chia pet so I wasn’t sure what to expect. We started the process on a Sunday and within days we could see roots sprouting. Fast forward about ten days and our chia pet has a full grown head of chia plant! It’s a simple process and can be used as a learning tool for kids (maybe not the Rick and Morty variety but you get the idea). I also now see why they call it a chia “pet.” It requires some care throughout the process. The instructions mention that there are enough seeds for three grows.Some minor snags might be that the seed paste slides down on to areas that aren’t supposed to have seeds...and they will absolutely sprout wherever they land. It’s an easy fix though; just wipe them off. And if you let your chia pet outside to get some sun, bugs may make a home.

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present. Chia seed mixture was too runny (followed instructions include) and had to keep reapplying them over the course of about 30hrs since they kept running down. Finally get them stick and waited the two days before filling with water. Come back 30min later and the water had leaked out, over flowing the drip tray all over the counter. It’s really too bad, because Deadpool looked great with a head full of chia seeds

Groot plus Chia plus Smiles of everyone who sees it equals a very well received gift. Yeah, it’s ridiculous. But my friend loves it and everyone who comes into her office loves it, so it’s a great investment. We need more smiles in life and this product helps deliver.

I always have fun with chia pets. They are easy to grow and they grow quickly. Baby Groot is no exception.

The planter is life like, but I think the seeds may have been damaged...or the instructions weren't followed correctly.This was a gift my mom asked the grandkids to get her. They worked on it the day after Christmas, and a month later there hasn't been any growth on Groot.Oh well.

I am absolutely heartbroken that this product sucks. The back of the head is such a sharp slope the chia seeds just slide right off.

Came in a timely manner. Its going to be a great xmas present

Easy af would recommend getting a plant light if there’s not enough sunlight in your house 🦋
