 Not worth the time and effort December 1, 2008

I bought this for my son last christmas. What a disappointment! After waiting for the 8 weeks to pass with it in the fridge taking up valuable space, we saw the new plants hatching but after that...nothing. They all died. I should have went to Home Depot and bought a Venus Fly Trap and that would have been much cheaper and worth it.

purchased as a b-day gift for hubby. he thought it was fun and wonderful. he got a kick out of it. but it's so late in the year he wants to try to hold off until spring before planting it and playing with it. we'll be excited to see how it turns out.

Don't buy this product. Save your money. We followed the directions and nothing sprouted at all.
What a waste of money and space! August 14, 2008

We got this for my son for Christmas - what a waste. I gave it 2 stars for educational value because it taught him to be careful what he wishes for. He had wanted this for months, and was thrilled when he opened it. We put it all together and then waited....and waited....and waited....for three months while the thing took up room in the refrigerator. We marked the calendar and did everything the directions said when they said to do it. NONE of the plants sprouted. The only carnivorous thing about this was the company producing it and the only thing they wanted to eat was money.

This item seemed to work just fine for me... as long as I have patience. I am NOT naturally very good with living things, but have had some success with these carnivorous critters (so far).
got this item as Xmas gift 25th December 2007.
8th February 2008, finally got around to "stratification"- put in fridge.
11th April 2008, removed from fridge and covered 2-of-3 holes on dome lid with tape to trap more condensation. -- placed on Western exposure.
13th May 2008, first 2 sprouts visible. distinct species... 1 tall skinny, 1 short fatty. --- here I noticed only a bit of white mold, so i did the hydrogen-peroxide bit and the white mold was gone the next morning.
20th June 2008, I now have 8 sprout-ettes. 3 of the tallboys, 3 of the fatties and 2 spikey looking little guys.
so far so good... but it takes patience.
g'luck
