ChiaPet Rick & Morty - Morty with Seed Pack, Decorative Pottery Planter, Easy to Do and Fun to Grow, Novelty Gift, Perfect for Any Occasion

I tried three times to get my Groot to fully grow and three times he was bald. I even followed another reviewer's suggestion and misted him. NOPE. As my title states, fourth time is a charm and he came out great!This is what to do if you don't want a bald Groot:- Use twice as many Chai seeds and less water. I used less than the 1/4 cup of water and the suggested amount of seeds. When I checked after half an hour it was still watery so I added more seeds until I achieved the consistency I wanted which was a very thick gel (the first three times the mix was too watery and they didn't adhere).- Spread seeds on Groot. The thickness of the mixture makes it really easy to spread the seeds where you want them- After the wait period where they dry, fill Groot and -- now this is REALLY important and integral to getting a Groot that's not bald -- put a plastic bag over him. Fill him daily and mist him with a spray bottle. Groot should sprout in a few days. I kept the bag on until he began to look how he does now.That's it! That's all you have to do to get a Groot that's not bald.*One side note: I did run out of the seeds that they provided with my Groot and used some that I had in my pantry. Now I'm not saying those were better BUT, I did achieve the results I wanted so take it for what it's worth*

Ever since I was a small child I wanted a chia pet. I would see that perfectly 90s CH CH CH Chia! commercial all the time and just wish I 18 so I would be old enough to call that toll free number but sadly I was not.Years went by and I thought about my dreams of owning a chia pet. The sheep was classic but lame, Groot? Nah. Bob Ross? Meh. For years I wandered the planet with no chia pet to my name.Finally chia pet of my dreams was announced. I waited patiently for him to arrive and got to work immediately with planting my Weird Al chia pet. I love plants so I took this on as more of a plant than a gimmick. I did research...what kind of sun light do chia plants like, how much water, etc. I settled for a north facing window and did my best to keep them as moist as possible.Putting the chia goop on his head is a fun challenge. I put about double the recommended chia seeds to get a full coat of seeds. After placing them on his head I spent the next several hours baby sitting it and pulling up the droopy chia seed goop until it was sticking.Then I followed the directions did the water fill up and tray drain daily. I kept this up longer than recommended and once I noticed the mail pattern baldness setting in (the water evaporates from his head) I did my best to mist the top of his head every day every two hours or so.I think he turned out great and the whole process lasted 4 weeks or so as the instructions said. Since I love plants anyway I went a little crazy with the care but I think a person can passively take care of their Al and he would still look good.

Who doesn't love Groot! I never had a Chia pet as a kid, so decided to get my kid one. It was fun and we had a few laughs with it, so totally worth it. As far as growing the Chia seeds, first time failed and we got a whole lot of nothing...unless Groot was supposed to have stubbly gray speckled hair. 2nd time, we covered with plastic (around the Chia pet, not on it) to help hold in the moisture. That did the trick. Groot had a full head of hair within a few days. The directions were easy to follow and, minus needing to make something to keep the moisture content high, were complete - although I *think* there might have been mention of this somewhere towards the end outside the main directions. After the seeds started to grow, you can probably get a good week or 2 out of it (water/mist everyday though). Cleanup was super easy, just soak the groot in some water, and the grown chia along with the goop to hold the seeds comes right off. We ended up growing another round after that, and still had plenty of seeds left.

It is VERY hard to do. The initial set up is a solid 1-star nightmare. The seeds just slowly dripped off because the grooves in his hair are not deep enough (think about the ridges in older chia pets). We ended up having to add more seeds to make the paste thicker so that it would actually stick, otherwise it would just slide off and pool in the plastic tray.We had to reapply the seeds at least 7 times while gradually adding more seeds to the mixture each time. Letting it sit for the 10 min and then reapply, hoping we wouldn’t return to it pooled in the tray again. Not sure if it will work since we just did it a couple days ago. The kid couldn’t do it, the adults couldn’t do it. It turned into more of a headache than a joy. We are not quitters, though!!! Haha just hoping the changes we had to make don’t hinder Dusty’s chia growth.I do think it is a cute gift.. It’s very cute so if nothing else, we’ll have a weird Dustin sculpture for the desk 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is my first experience with a chia pet so I wasn’t sure what to expect. We started the process on a Sunday and within days we could see roots sprouting. Fast forward about ten days and our chia pet has a full grown head of chia plant! It’s a simple process and can be used as a learning tool for kids (maybe not the Rick and Morty variety but you get the idea). I also now see why they call it a chia “pet.” It requires some care throughout the process. The instructions mention that there are enough seeds for three grows.Some minor snags might be that the seed paste slides down on to areas that aren’t supposed to have seeds...and they will absolutely sprout wherever they land. It’s an easy fix though; just wipe them off. And if you let your chia pet outside to get some sun, bugs may make a home.

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present. Chia seed mixture was too runny (followed instructions include) and had to keep reapplying them over the course of about 30hrs since they kept running down. Finally get them stick and waited the two days before filling with water. Come back 30min later and the water had leaked out, over flowing the drip tray all over the counter. It’s really too bad, because Deadpool looked great with a head full of chia seeds

This was my first chia pet and I enjoyed watching this product grow. I used instructions from a blog that suggested after the planter and seeds had completely dried, use a spray bottle and a plastic bag to dampen the planter with water to allow the seeds to germinate and stick to the planter to help stop seeds from sliding off. Once the roots were long enough, remove the plastic bag and add water daily to allow the chia seeds to grow. I would also probably use a little less than 2 tsp of chia seeds (maybe 1.5 tsp) for this chia pet, as I had a lot of seeds left after I covered one layer of seeds on the entire head.

I am absolutely heartbroken that this product sucks. The back of the head is such a sharp slope the chia seeds just slide right off.

Came in a timely manner. Its going to be a great xmas present
