I had no directions to soak the seeds for 24 hours. Why? I would like to see what the plant looks like while it is growing so I know what I have.

You soak the seeds to soften up the outer shell so that you can peel part of the shell to speed up the growing process. If I knew how to post pictures on Amazon, I could show you what my 3 plants currently looking like. Once my seeds arrive ( I bought more) I will record every step I take to get the seeds to grow.

Don't waist your time and money... I did! We did everything by the book and had no results. Bought at the end three wisteria plants and they are gorgeous...

Unfortunately, I have purchased seeds from various providers and very few of the supply any planting or germinating information. I had to wing it or check online on horticulture sites or you local University. Wish I could have been more help. Personally I am planning on making seed purchases through a Nursery next time. Good luck.

It takes about 110 days before they are ready for harvest! Soak your seeds before planting for best results!

I don't rinse the seeds. I haven't found them to be gritty or anything. But you could rinse them if you prefer.

I agree with the suggestion to water the plant before using the spike (I use a moisture meter to check the soil), and to be sure to soak the spikes for 15 min. before putting them in the pot. Before putting the lid on the spike I blow on it (with the tube in the water) to be sure it's not plugged; then I suck on it to bring the water up to the lid to start the siphoning process. However, the reservoir needs to be below the plant - not above it! I've had other problems with the spikes (tubes getting plugged, probes getting empty and dry for no apparent reason - but haven't had a problem with spikes emptying in a few hours. That mystifies me. Good luck!

I cover 1/4 cup of seeds with water and soak them overnight, then rinse them 2 times per day. Most sprouts are ready in 4-6 days.

if I have gentle hands, take 6 paper towles, wet 4 of them stacked ontop of eachother, with a sharpie make an 1/8 in square grid on them. Now wet them down, not dripping but thuroghly damp. Put aprox. 3-5 seeds in.each square. Takr remaining paper towels, wet them.and put them over grided seeds. Now put them I'm 1gal ziplock, zip shut and put in a relatively cool dark place. After about 5 days CAREFULLY use tweezers to transplant the their permanent place(pot, ground*recommend*) really dont like to be transplanted so be careful.and sure

Hello there! I am not a seller, I purchased this product a while ago from this supplier. I do not know what state this supplier is located at; however, my order arrived in perfect condition with 3 day shipping /delivery I believe. It is well packaged that has enough moister for plant to survive without water.

First, soak the seeds for 2-3 hrs. Start them indoors in 2" pots. Use a "seed starting mix." Make a dimple in the well-watered soil. Lay the seed on its side in the dimple. Cover the pots with clear plastic to create humidity. Place in a well-lit, bright, but not direct sunlight. Mist daily depending on whether the seed casing looks damp or not. They will pop up in about 3 to 5 days! I planted 11 seeds, but only 5 made it. I have been growing mine under fluorescent lights. These instructions came with my seeds ordered from Amazon.com. For further instructions, search the Internet. First, soak the seeds for 2-3 hrs. Start them indoors in 2" pots. Use a "seed starting mix." Make a dimple in the well-watered soil.

Well for the most part the instructions you need depend on the seed your trying to sprout. Not the sprout-er you decide to use. Generally, you take the amount of seeds you want to sprout. You soak them for about 6-12 hours depending on the seed you choose. You then rinse them off and drain them. You place them in the sprouter. Place some in each compartment of the sprouter. every 12 hours or so you rinse them in the sprouter and make sure they drain well and re stack them. That's it. wait til they get to the level you want them . Then , you eat them .

You're quite welcome. I'm having to do some research myself, because I don't have any knowledge of seeds and plants. I want to learn, though. Foxfire books may be helpful. I haven't checked them out, but they are reported to tell about the "old" ways of doing things. Happy researching.

I just got seeds, they grew for about six months then all died. I'm guessing they didn't get nearly enough sun :(

Interesting question,I never read the direction since I make this tea regularly. And no I never rinse the flowers first.

Actually, I still have it in a really big pot. I've been meaning to plant it near a fence, but haven't done it. I think it's suffering in the pot, but now it must have a lot of roots, so I'm going to have to dig a really big hole. In the pot it has mostly gotten wide, not tall. I'm a little disappointed that the stalks are still very skinny, and only one is actually black at the moment. I guess I'd better plant it!

I also didn't receive any instructions with the purchase. I looked up suggestions on google. This is what I've found, I sprinkle/spray water on my plants once a week. The suggestions said less than that however it is incredibly dry in my apartment so they are requiring it more frequently. When I planted them I made sure that they had a great drainage system (rocks in the very bottom with topsoil above that).

I timed it today and it was a little over 6 hours. It could have something to do with humidity or maybe someone else put in a little more water? I don't know. I had never timed it before but I know from the beginning it was more than 4 hours.
