Christmas Tree Grow Kit | Warm Wishes Holiday Pail

Out of the roughly 15 seeds in the package, I had 3 that germinated, and after nearly 3 months, they're about 3.5" tall.

We'll see how they continue to grow now that spring is here.

I got this spruce growing set so that I could grow my own Christmas style tree. I thought that it would be a really nice and sustainable way to celebrate the season because it can come in for the holidays and then go back out after, at least for a while until it gets too big.This set is very cute, I love the little bucket, and they have a few seeds so that you have a higher chance that something will sprout. They also provide the seed starting puck that expands when you get it wet.My seeds have not sprouted yet, but I planted them very recently and they take a few weeks at least to sprout, so I need to wait a while longer. The seeds have a guarantee from the company and they have great instructions on their website for planting, so there is a good chance that everything will work out well with the kit.I counted five seeds, so I may even end up with more than one spruce from this set. Really the only not as great part to this set is that the red bucket and the seed starter puck are not the best methods for starting these particular seeds. At least if the instructions found on their website growing spruce are correct. The instructions on the kit and the ones on the website seem to disagree a bit on the best conditions for seed sprouting. I figured that the website instructions that are much more specific about the needs of the seeds would be the best ones to focus on. Going by those instructions, the bucket wouldn’t provide enough drainage and the water trapped in the growing puck would just stagnate and rot.It might not be the best for functionality, but if you just plant the seeds in a tiny terra cotta pot and keep it int he red bucket, then you solve the issue. Besides, the red bucket is fun and festive just like the rest of the kit. it is all so cheerful that minor issues like that are easily overlooked.Overall this is a really nice little kit, it is simple, but it doesn’t need to be elaborate. You just need to make sure that you go to their website and read the directions for planting your seeds thoroughly.

Sprouted pretty quickly after covering with plastic wrap to maintain moisture. Leaving review to recommend that to everyone since it seemed to stop soil from drying out and getting fuzzy. Moisture and light are key. Happy with this product and would purchase again.

This is a fun and slightly festive everything-you-need kit. The "slightly festive" part comes just from the label as the pail is just red with no design. With the tree actually growing it, I can see it feeling more Christmasy with the red and green vibe. So hopefully mine will grow!This kit includes soil pellets, seeds, and pail. Just add water!It recommended soaking the seeds for 24 hours so I did that. After a week, still waiting for something to happen but will update as it grows.UPDATE: About a month later, I have about an inch of growth. Let's hope it keeps up!

Cute little spruce tree grow kit! The best thing about this kit is that the company guarantees that the seeds will grow, or they will replace them! I've got mine planted, just waiting for them to pop now but this kit was great as it includes everything you need. Simply soak the seeds overnight before planting, soak the included soil cubes to get them to expand and plant! Its that easy! You'll want to keep them wet, but not too wet, and preferably in a warm spot. Comes with a cute little pail to plant in, though in the future I would like to see it moved out of this pot as it does not have drainage holes. Would make a great gift!

I am really excited to see if my spruce tree grows. I followed the instructions and soaked them for 24 hours to aid in the process. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The tin bucket is super cute and will definitely be reused after the tree gets moved out from it. My only complaint is that there's no drainage hole, so keep that in mind when watering. Everything you need is provided, though I think it could have done with another dirt pellet or two, but otherwise this is so cute and would make an awesome gift. I'll try to remember to update in a few weeks after seeing if the plant sprouts.Edit to say that a week or so ago, I noticed I had some little tree sprouts shooting up! Looks like 2/5 seeds worked. Super excited to see how they grow.

This is such a cute gift idea for any gardener or for someone you don’t know what to buy. It includes everything you need to get started growing a tree. Cute Christmas color red bucket pot. Expand the soil with water, put seeds in the soil and the wait. You can even start growing the plant now and then give as a gift. No drainage holes in the container, so don’t over water. I got this for me but would love to get more as gifts.

Who doesn't want their own little bit of Christmas to grow? The instant I saw this I knew I needed it. I'm looking forward to growing this. According to a quick google search, this is a Norway Spruce (Picea abies) and can grow up to 100-150 feet tall! Even up to 200 feet! Of course, it won't grow that tall in the little pail it comes in, but I'm hoping that after it grows to it's fullest in the pail I can rehome it outside and end up with a giant spruce in my backyard.

It says to soak the seeds for 24 hours in water before planting and I have done that in the past and it seems to work well, so I will update what happens. It kind of insinuates to use all seeds at once but I’m going to do one at a time just because I like doing it that way. Also the grow tablets are amazing and actually turn into soft soil!!!

Plants grew within a few days. Decent quality for a pot.

Waiting for some growth just bought !!

Nice gift

Only 3 of the seeds sprouted, but that could be expected. I'm enjoying watching them grow in my office. I'm glad that I can replant them (spruce is native where I am) when they get too big.

Not sure why there are no holes

This is a cute little holiday tree growing set. It is nice quality and is easy to grow.

I actually picked this spruce grow kit up for my husband and I to try together. He loves Christmas, and we both love gardening, so I thought he would get a kick out of trying to grow a Christmas tree of his own. Ours hasn't sprouted so far, so I can't really speak to how quickly the seeds germintate or how easy the plants are to take care of.This was very easy to set up, though. The growing medium pellets are fun to activate and really do process into real growing soil. The seeds were easy to plant, as well, and I love the little red pail. Just be aware that the growing pails don't come with drainage holes, so if you want to actually grow your tree in the pail, you'll need to drill holes yourself.All in all, I thought this was a delightful product, and it was lots of fun to set up. It would also make a really thoughtful, personal gift for anyone who might enjoy growing their own spruce tree. Very nice item and one I'm glad I tried!

I think giving this spruce tree growing kit to a teacher especially a science teacher will be a great idea this Christmas season. It has a festive holiday look and everything needed (except water) is included.In keeping with an authentic spruce, the red bucket is a nice-looking planter. Of note: the bucket will need a small holed drilled into the bottom if you want drainage which you will certainly need after planting a seed. Five seeds are included but I recommend only one seed go into the planter. If no luck with the first seed you get four more tries.

This is a cute gift but beginners beware. This kit comes with a packet of spruce seeds, 3 growing medium pellets, and a pail as a pot. There are two things to be aware of. One is that the plant pot does not have drainage holes which will need to be drilled into the bottom of the pot. The other is that the growing medium does not completely fill the pail. I had more potting soil at home and a drill so this was not an issue for me. I do wish the pot had come pre-drilled. I did get sprouts but there is a guarantee for the seeds if you do not.

Easy house plant to grow yourself, comes with everything you need. Beautiful flowers. Good gift idea

Comes with a small red tin, 6 seeds, and dirt pellets. Easy to get everything put together but now I’m doing the waiting game for the next 4-6 weeks. The instructions do mention putting a growing medium overtop to keep it moisturized while the seeds geminate but the kit doesn’t provide it.

Update: it’s been a week and I have a sprout!I planted my spruce tree a couple of days ago. It was super easy to do. You should soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting. I took the dirt discs and put them into the red container provided and slowly added water and fluffed the soil. Once the soils was all fluffed I planted the seed 1/4 inch under the soil. I have this sitting on a seed mat to keep it warm and under plant lights. It takes 4-6 weeks to germinate so I will update accordingly. This is a great kit overall. Now just a waiting game for germination!
