Seed packet was not sealed and seeds were all over amazon box and chia pet box.

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*

The top of the head is not sprouting the rest is ok. I have started this more tha 10 days. Directions say 2-3 days. I started runn7ng some water lightly over top to get it to sprout. It’s funny but would be better if it worked

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.

i had bought the rick chia pet. absolutely fell in love before it even arrived. i haven’t had a chia pet since i was a kid. i started setting it all up right away. i’ve had it for awhile now. until i pulled my curtain back and it fell off the window seal. i grew emotionally attached to it. it gave me happiness and now i’m very sad & crying. wonderful product, just don’t get attached. may cause heartbreak

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 🤷🏼‍♀️

I always wanted a chia pet and now I have one and it’s deadpool how cool is that. Easy to grow and set up. Looks great. If you like chia pets and if you like dead pool this is the product for you

I only did 4 stars, because I just received it. I wanted to write a review though, since people are saying it is broken. Possibly their shipments were broken, but if they are talking about the one hair piece that is cut off a bit and has a hole in it then it is not broken. That hole is used to water the chia pet and to pour water out. I was worried when people were saying it was broken but when I received mine, I was relieved.

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
