5.0 out of 5 stars Takes time to germinate
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022
In spite of the negative germination reviews, I ordered these. I put the seeds in a mason jar with water (with a lid) in the refrigerator and honestly forgot about them. They were probably in there for 5 days. I was nervous that I had ruined them, but kept on going. I prepared dirt that was perfect for seedlings. (Important) you have to gently press them in the dirt and lightly cover the seeds. Then I misted the dirt with water. I also covered my tray with Saran Wrap. The tray was placed in my breakfast area, but only got indirect sunlight. In maybe 6 or 7 days I started to see them coming up out of the dirt. It was only a few at first. As time went on, more and more came up. Here is the important thing to remember: these can take up to 30 days to germinate! Don’t toss them out or give up. As you can see from my tray, I still have some coming up. So far, I probably have 40 plants. (I had to put 7 dust on them to keep something from nibbling on them)

The other comments about this plant being invasive: All you have to do is harvest or cut the plant down before it goes to seed. If you see flower buds or flowers, cut it. You are probably like me and growing this plant to harvest the leaves anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars All my seeds sprouted.
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2023
I Love my sprouts. I soaked my seeds in water in tea cup, plastic wrap it. In my fridge for a few days. (Forgot about it was in my bottom compartment) almost a week. I noticed the tip of the black seeds became white. Nervous thought it got moldy. I chanced it and sprinkled them over my container/miracle grow dirt. Then sprinkle a little more dirt on top. 3-5 days later. Keeping it moist. It has been sunny and warm. I believe the weather helps. May/June. It truly sprouted. I’m a proud plant mom . Thank you . I highly recommend this seller. Im excited to use these medicine plants.
Hey, I was hesitant from reading some of these reviews, saying that it did not sprout… But I’m super happy with my results…

I only used half of the seed packet. I anticipate sharing my plants with all my family and friends… Perfect gifts for any occasion holistic healing. It will be a new experience for me for sure.
