Good

My daughter specifically asked for this for her 12th birthday. She loves it but there was some trial and error in the beginning before the chia started to grow. They would slide off every day and she'd have to put them back on. She learned that they grew much better if she spritzed the head with water a couple times a day vs filling the head with water to the top.

Awesome Chia pet. My coworker has been looking for this one for a while and she loved it.

My husband got this for me for Christmas because Bob Ross use to come to Muncie, IN to film his painting show there and He knew I was a fan of his fro. It took several days for the thing to sprout. The top of his head was the hardest to grow, but it did grow in well once it sprouted. I tried keeping it filled with water but a lot of it leaked out into the tray everyday so you have to mess a couple times a day with watering it. I was wondering if it would be safe if birds ate the sprouts but there was no information on the website if the sprouts were safe. One person told me the terra cotta pots sometimes were high in lead but I never found out if that was true or urban legend. Anyway My bird didn't eat it. I've replanted the sprouts a few times. It's a cool chia pet! I suggest that you purchase chia seeds from your local health food store. They grow much faster than the seeds that came in the kit!

Fabulous!

I give it three stars for nailing the likeness, but I‘m pretty bummed about the rest.Everyone in my household was thrilled when they found out I purchased this....until a few days after planting, when we realized that it leaks...it leaks a lot! There‘s a small, hairline crack on the neck of mine below where I need all the water to saturate the clay for the seeds to grow (his head and beard). (SEE PHOTO) Perhaps if you just planted his entire shirt, that would be fine, but what‘s the point? At least for me, I wanted it to look cool! Ok...I‘ll admit, Instagramable.First off, you might want to fill it with water and see if it leaks before you plant. Don’t spend a crazy amount of time, (like me), trying to get all the seeds to stick in all the right places just to find out that to get something broken to work, you‘re going to have to fill it, baste it or spray it with water 1 or more times a day!Secondly, it’s not easy to plant. You can‘t just slather chia seeds on it and hope they‘ll stick in all the right places. (The original chia pet was pretty easy because it was glazed in places you didn‘t want chia seeds to sprout.) This takes some time to get them to stick where you want them too. I used a wooden chopstick that I patted dry between each chia seed placement. (You‘re right, I do have better things to do, but I got a bit obsessed with making it look good.)It‘s a wonderful idea that I absolutely love, but like many other reviewers, I‘m gonna have to say that this product literally doesn‘t hold water. It‘s soooooo disappointing!
