Quicker Germination Than Stated!

Planted these babies on 11/20 and am already seeing growth today 12/3! After doing my research for each seed and suggestions that came with them, purchasing a warming mat for my seeds was a game changer. Look at these babies!!! So tiny.

Fast, slow, and fast again

They sprouted quickly but seemed stunted for a while. I repotted them in perlite-heavy soil and they’re doing great now!

Sprouting in a Smart Garden

Had trouble keeping the sprouts moist on my other attempts. These are very delicate sprouts. This is my 3rd attempt starting African Violets. I started the seeds in a Click & Grow (never have to worry about watering or light) and very quickly I got seriously tiny sprouts. Super excited! Third time's a charm!
If anyone has any problem seeds, you should definitely try a smart garden.

Didn't Germinate

I tried three separate times, and just couldn't get these ones to grow. I got two other seed types from here at the same time, and both of those are doing incredibly well.

Wish these seeds were packaged like the rest that I ordered (in a paper envelope) so I didn't have to dig out the folded instruction sheet but otherwise happy with the product

Great purchase!

Seeds arrived in a timely manner. I'm waiting on a planter to germinate the seeds in. One draw back is that the care instructions they included in the packet were for Dahlias and not Violets. From what I can tell the two flowers require different things. Regardless I look forward to planting and growing my first Sprouts.

African Violet Seeds

I was SO STOKED I got African Violet Seeds in my sub this month! Sadly when I went to plant them there weren't any seeds in the tiny pack... :( Never had any issues before this but super sad about not getting the seeds!

Seeds are a gift so don't know about their quality/germination rate, but the packaging is very nice and order was shipped quickly.

100% germination rate, healthy seedlings

All the sunflower seeds I planted (split between paper towel method and greenhouse methods) germinated within TWO days of planting (what is this sorcery?!), and all are still healthy seedlings growing rapidly!

There were no seeds in the packet, just an empty envelope. I reached out and let plantflix know and asked if they would replace them and i never heard from them. I have bought a lot from them and this was really disappointing

FAQs

how difficult are these seeds to grow?

Houseplant seeds are generally trickier to grow than your more common garden seed varieties- they require a specific setup and more time to sprout. You can find the difficulty for each seed variety specified under the "about the seeds" tab on each product page.

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!

my seeds aren't germinating, what do I do?

Houseplant seeds are tricky, and sometimes certain more difficult varieties can take some practice to finally get them to sprout!

If you're having trouble with the seeds, you're not alone. Luckily there are ways to sometimes salvage seeds by adjusting the setup- this quiz can help diagnose any issues you may have with your setup and make suggestions for how to improve it.

You can also email us at hello@plantflix.com and we can help out! If the seeds still aren't germinating, we'll send out a replacement :)
