Perfectly packaged, equally informative on what was inside. Definitely an amazing seed to start with.
This is my first time growing from seeds. So I read reviews did my research and this company seemed well put together and people had great results. Well I am here to say on 1/22/25 I planted approx half(10) of my coleus seeds and as of 1/27/25 they have sprouted. It's very hard not to peek in there but I can see approximately 8 or 9 small green sprouts so it would appear almost all the seeds took. If you are in the fence give it a try. Photo attached. It's not high quality, mostly because I am trying not to open my little greenhouse for them.
Update: the first batch is still hanging in there. I tried again, and second round seems to be going better.
These are beautiful
Love how easy these instruction guides are to follow. Never had much luck growing from seed until I found these! Look how fast they grew!!! Planted on 11/21!
These seeds germinated quickly and the little plants are growing quickly too!

how difficult are these seeds to grow?

We definitely recommend following the setups outlined in our seed guide here, and you can find further details in our blog!
how long does it take for the seeds to germinate?
Houseplant seeds take longer than most seeds to germinate, the average time for germination is 2-3 weeks. If you're curious about the sprouting time for a specific seed variety, you can find that information in the "about the seeds" tab on each product page.
how do I grow houseplant seeds?
All of our orders come with a basic starter guide for you to follow, but our seed guide here goes in much more detail and also offers alternative seed starter methods.
We also include additional planting tips specific to each seed variety under the "instructions" tab of each product page. If you need extra help, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hello@plantflix.com!
