Customer Reviews
I used a cheap germination kit for these and they all germinated beautifully! There are a couple runts but all are growing and have been potted now. They were babies in the photo, but have gained more of the beautiful dark coloring since then. Great seeds!!
Had almost every seed planted germinate! They’ve started developing their lovely purple leaves now. Easy to grow for my first time planting from seed!
These plants are super cool looking and pretty easy to grow. Definitely one to add to the collection!
I have planted 6 seeds so far (lack the space to get them all planted), and every single one has sprouted. All the seedlings look healthy and I am thrilled with the germination rate!
The good news is they all sprouted. The bad news is....they all sprouted! Now I have to find room for all these lol! I wasn't expecting any of these to successfully sprout because I admittedly waited a bit long to plant them, but about 6 weeks after planting they have all sprouted and are very strong and healthy 💚 The shipping and packaging of my order was fantastic and the quality is unmatched. I will be buying so many more from Plantflix :)
