Germination Rates: These germination rates are lower than usual, often 60% or less
Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Stratification is highly recommended for these seeds, you can plant in moss in a bag or in the planter and put in the fridge for up to 3 months. After stratifying, put in a warm spot like a heat mat >70F and with grow lights or indirect sunlight and in a greenhouse. Monitor the soil(checking ~once a week) to make sure it remains moist and that the humidity dome has condensation.

Starting to dabble in seeds and this is the website to start at. Two weeks and this little guy popped up. Super exciting !!! I just planted this is normal succulent soil and placed it on a heat mat and under grow lights in a dome humidity planter..
.
update 3/30. The progress, and i was so excited I planted 4 more seeds and 3 more germinated
I put these in a tray and placed them in my little indoor greenhouse that I got off of amazon and they started growing very quickly.
These grew so fast! All of my seeds germinated and looks great. I sowed on 11/05/2024 and this is the results on 11.21.2024. Very rewarding!
I sowed these seeds on 09/21/24 and I noticed 7 sprouts on 09/24/24. I followed the instructions provided with the seeds and waited. Super exciting!!! Hopefully waiting on the others to sprout but, if they don't I'm satisfied with the 7 that did that's a great germination rate for me!
This is my second batch of desert roses and they're all doing great so far!
I found Plantflix when I Googled monstera seeds to buy as a fun winter project and now it's become a bit of an addiction buying more and more seeds! I planted coleus, eucalyptus & this desert rose 5 days ago and I've got so many babies coming up today! It's so exciting checking my seedling shelf every morning. Plantflix has fast shipping, the packaging is SO cute. Plus all the great information on the blog & videos on tiktok/YouTube. I've got even more seeds I want to try on my wishlist once I have more open space on my heat mats. The subscription boxes also look really fun! This is the first time I've ever tried growing seeds so if I can do it, you can too. (warning: you might become addicted)
Really an interesting plant. i had a 100% germination rate, and a 20% stupidly rate so all but two are still alive and they are definitely the right seeds. They must be easy to grow, I didn't use any special pods i just used potting soil and a tray.
They're definitely one of the weirder seedlings I've had. Strange to see they immediately resemble the developed desert rose!
Great cute little packaging and awesome product and an exciting plant 10/10 yall.
Absolutely amazing seeds! Sprouted super fast too!
After I soaked these babies, they shot right out of the soil in 4 days. Absolutely adorable packaging and easy to follow directions
I planted this baby Tuesday and it’s Sunday and noticed a baby sprout 😭
I used a heat map and saran wrap 🤍
So excited to see baby grow!!
These Desert Rose babies are probably my favorites that I've grown so far! They sprouted very quickly, and around 90% of them came up. They already have plump cadeuxs and I can't wait to see them keep getting bigger!
very few germinated had other things planted later up looking good plus coleous that's looking good
I've always wanted one of these trees so I am excited to get the seeds started. 😊
all of the planted seeds germinated and now I have too many 😭
Im so excited to grow new things
So so so excited to see these grow! Shipping was so fast!
Came with great directions and shipped so fast!
Planted 6 of the seeds and gifted the rest to friends. I had a 100% germination rate with these. Very happy
Seeds were very forgiving since I didn't plant them for a few weeks. Germination only took 5 days and they look great so far!
Planted the seeds just over a week ago. In December our home is chilly so I was a bit concerned about these coming up. I did use a homemade seed mat made out of rope lights. As of today I have 8 very cute little desert roses! They started coming up yesterday. I received 22 seeds so I’m very excited to see how many I will end up with. Looking forward to my next order. Definitely will order from here again
