Coleus 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.

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.

You know, I never thought I would dabble into the world of gardening if I didn't have the opportunity to try it out. And why would you want to test something/try it out if it costs a lot of money? Therefore, I am glad and appreciative of something like this, that allows for that opportunity. There are bonsai kits, but they do need a bit of a green thumb, or at least a someone with a lot of time and patience. So it's nice to have this simple kit for just over $10, and something not too hard to grow, so you can see if you have that green thumb and or interest. The bottom line advice from me is patience, but also that you need to water the seeds many times a day, but to not overwater them. And the best way to water seeds and plantlings, is to use a spray bottle, for it is gentle, and helps you to not over-water.This kit comes with the planter (the pail), the soil discs, and the seeds, so all you need is to water them, and give them TLC tender loving care. Another advice to expedite germination is to wet a paper towel, then put some seeds on them, and put everything in a zip lock bag, or something where the moisture can't escape. Without ingress and egress of air, it should remain wet, but you can add more water daily to make sure it. Finally, make sure you store it somewhere without light. Do this for at least three days, or until you see the seeds start to sprout, like tiny bean sprouts. It's up to you when exactly to switch them over to the pail (planter). Sometimes it's good to let the seeds grow strong a few more days to be sure. Also make sure there's a drainage hole for the pail - either create one, or just use your own planter/pot with a drainage hole - Home Depot sells the cheapest for like 40 cents. Once the seedlings start blooming a leaf or two, then you can add in some daylight. Just make sure the soil is always wet, or the heat will kill them during this precarious phase. You can even add some plant food mix by adding them into the water spray bottle. After all this, the rest is up to you. Best wishes!

Unpack, soak the dirt discs, sprinkle the seeds, water. Easy to set up and grow. Deducting 1 star because they say if you want drainage holes you need to drill some in the bottom of the metal bucket - not everyone will be able to do that, and if you do you will then need a saucer to catch excess water in. Suggest the manufacturer include a plastic, inner pot, with drainage holes.

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

Waiting for some growth just bought !!

Nice gift

Bought as a Christmas gift. She’s enjoy it now in the spring

Been fun watching it grow and now get color. Now I have a full planter full

Love it

I have a lot of experience with plants and gardening so I thought I would see if this was actually a time saver. Surprisingly, it gives an impressive germination yield for just $10. Very pleased with the functionality and quality materials. This will be a great Christmas gift for those that want to dabble and gardening or for those that just want something easy and effective to use.

Instructions were easy to follow. It's sitting on my window sill at home now and will soon transplant it to a bigger pot.

Might be my black thumb, might be a defect. Either way, it's a fun little set up. Great for a gift to someone good with plants.

I have ordered several items from BUZZY seeds and I have had good results with all of their products. I love houseplants, and there are not a lot of houseplants that grow best from seeds, so I was so excited to grow these coleus from seed. The kit comes with everything that you need to grow Coleus, but I started the seeds in seed starting trays with grow sponge and then I had a couple of free slots in my hydroponic grower and they are growing in there too. The seed packet has a TON of tiny coleus seeds, I have about 36 full seedlings growing and I still have more seeds. This is a great gift for a plant lover.

I want to write a review, but I haven't quite had the success with the seeds yet, or the plants. I do want to say that another plant that I am trying to grow is just a slow in another contain and different substrate, so it could be another issue. I do recommend that product, it is an adorable gift and for a person with a green thumb and some plant know how, perhaps it would be appreciated and put to use successfully.5 stars

It's a cute little stocking stuffer plant. Not the type of plant you want to put outside later, it is a tropical plant, so please keep that in mind. The pot does not have any sort of drain hole, so you will need to either poke one in or use a different pot. The included soil pucks expanded nicely, but they only filled about half the pot. You will need to add more soil later if you are successful with your grow. I just noticed today (it's been 7 days since I planted), we have some little green sprouts, so that is a good sign. I do need to treat the soil for mold however, it started to sprout before the seeds did. I'm hoping that I'll have a nice little plant here soon.
