Chia CP438-01 Pet Hedgehog Seed Pack, Decorative Pottery Planter, Easy to Do and Fun to Grow, Novelty Gift, Perfect for Any Occasion, Terra Cotta

Great and fun to grow! Will buy again! It would be nice if a clear, square shaped plastic bag was included. We have plenty of grocery bags but you can’t see through them and the one clear plastic bag that was big enough still ended up rubbing many seeds off when we were trying to change the water. Other than that, the instructions were clear and easy to follow and we all love watching it grow. I’m glad it has enough seeds to regrow many times. I might try a different animal next time I buy. The llama is cute but a little top-heavy.

Bought the item as a gag gift and ended up with it.This actually was a good gift

A friend of mine wanted a hedgehog. But for real, as a pet. I thought it was a little bizarre but I ended up getting her one anyway. For Christmas. Not real, though. lol! She absolutely loved it! Always remember, if you don’t know what to get…get a Chia! They never disappoint!

Taking care of Mia the chia & watching her progress every day has given me more joy than it should. I took a lot of the tips from the reviews I’ve read to optimize her full bushy hair! I did use less water to seeds to create a decently thick paste and it didn’t have any issues sliding off the clay mold. I topped off the water 4-5 times daily, emptied the water tray daily, misted her several times daily, and made sure to give her ample sunlight by an open window. Whenever topping her off, I’d make sure to dab off excess water from the top to avoid mold growth.I knocked off a star because day 10-11 I noticed it started to leak water faster? I would top off the water as normal and check back an hour later but the tray would already be filled with water when it used to take a whole day for the tray to fill. Not sure if this is just normal after the chia plant has reached full growth or not but either way it’s been a really fun 2 weeks with Mia!I’d recommend this plant for kids and adults! Fast growth and a fun experience for everyone

Entertaining

Lots of fun growing my Chia llama! Have grown it twice since I purchased it in August 2021. I did google tips on how to at wikihow.com. I did soak the llama for 24 hours. I also let my seeds soak for about the same amount of time. It becomes a think jelly like substance. This is important. If the seed mix it too loose or to thin, the seeds slide right off. I covered it in a fruit/veggie bag from the grocery store for a day or two, with NO water in the llama. Once it got happy and started to sprout, I added water to the llama and took the bag off. Then let the llama live happily in a window seal. Made sure to keep the water in the llama full everyday. And drained the drip pan every day. Lots of fun.

I bough this for my friend as a birthday gift. She and I both love llamas and plants—it’s perfect! It came packaged well and everything was included. Look, I like this little thing so much I’m ordering one for myself too. It’s so cute. I’ll update photos when she sends me a photo of it growing.Side note: Amazon and this seller are the best. I ordered this Chia Pet and one other item, USPS said it was delivered, but it was nowhere to be found. I live in a remote area so I’ve never had a package stolen. I checked with the other people that live in the area—nothing. I have no idea what happened to it, but Amazon didn’t ask any questions, quickly put in a new order for me, and it was all (re)delivered quickly. I wanted to give the seller a huge Thank You!

This Chia Pet is cute. The body is made of terracotta, so it needs to be treated gently so it will not break. The chia seeds sprouted, however they did not fully cover the terracotta as in the pictures.
