Fun & Unique
Fun and unique way to add a bit of personality to your space! It’s easy to set up and watch Bob Ross grow his iconic “happy little trees.” The kit comes with everything needed, including the seed pack, and it's a great conversation starter. Plus, it’s a perfect gift for fans of Bob Ross or anyone who enjoys quirky, interactive decor. It’s not just a plant – it’s a little piece of art that grows!

This was a fun gift- I really enjoyed it.
My husband got this for me for Christmas because Bob Ross use to come to Muncie, IN to film his painting show there and He knew I was a fan of his fro. It took several days for the thing to sprout. The top of his head was the hardest to grow, but it did grow in well once it sprouted. I tried keeping it filled with water but a lot of it leaked out into the tray everyday so you have to mess a couple times a day with watering it. I was wondering if it would be safe if birds ate the sprouts but there was no information on the website if the sprouts were safe. One person told me the terra cotta pots sometimes were high in lead but I never found out if that was true or urban legend. Anyway My bird didn't eat it. I've replanted the sprouts a few times. It's a cool chia pet! I suggest that you purchase chia seeds from your local health food store. They grow much faster than the seeds that came in the kit!

Eh, good for a few weeks only
So, it worked at first, they grew, but it falls off. I was really disappointed.

Our first Chia Pet
Never have done the Chia Pets before but when they came out with Bob Ross we had to try it. My mother was an avid fan of his. We’ve had fun watching it change through the days. It’s nice that the package of seeds are enough for more plantings. It’s a fun & easy indoor gardening project!

Helpful tip on the chia pet.
I've always wanted a chia pet and a bob ross chia pet was a dream come true to get on. So I got one for Christmas. It took me a while to start it but as it was snowing a week ago it was the perfect activity to do while your stuck at home. Now there are people who are saying the mix it too watery and wet not gel like. Apparently those people didn't read the tip on the instructions. (As a tip it says to add more seeds wait 10 minutes. And it helps the spread get thicker.) So first when your starting to spread the seeds. Spread it like your spreading icing. Cover the head with plenty of seeds. It says to water it every day. I actually water it one day wait another day then the third day you change the water. Put this head in a deep container. It didn't overflow. But get a deep container. And give it plenty of sunlight. On top of the head take a spray bottle and spray the top of the head. Now i did the beard. So far it looks amazing. So if you want the full look I recommend the hair and the beard. If you follow these instructions it will work. And its exciting to do. Its fun activity to do it takes time but its a plant so be patient and have fun watching the chia pet grow.

rip bob ross
I've always dreamed of having a chia pet since i saw them when i was little and now that I am over 30 I thought I finally deserved one. I received it as a gift on Christmas and was so eager to grow the iconic Ross Fro. How disappointing it was. All the other reviews are right. You have to water it constantly to keep it filled due to the porous terracotta pot, and gravity means water only stays filled at the bottom where there is no hair. The drip tray was not even close to enough to contain the water seeping out through the pot and it was too much work to constantly lift the heavy pot to empty the tray. I ended up using a dish for drip tray instead. The application is pretty difficult for the hair because it keeps sliding down. The best method I found is to mix the chia seeds with minimal water possible, and lay down the bob on his side (any) to apply on one side with a butter knife. Wait til it's dry, rotate to another side, rinse and repeat. After all that work, your cat smashes it by throwing it to the ground. After buying a second one and trying again, it grows great for about 2 seconds before molding and sliming. I tried putting the chia seeds on his bust instead and that worked much better for 2 seconds longer. I also just ended up putting the Bob figurine on the shelf without the seeds. Basically, the design of the hair/chia being on top of a terracotta pot makes it impossible for you to enjoy this chiapet. I look into his eyes and I no longer see joy in them, only insanity. I'm so sad. Bob would've told me that there are no mistakes in this world, only happy accidents. But he is gone and this was a mistake.

A little hard to keep all the seeds in place, since you're trying to keep just the fro. But, once they take, it's hilarious.

Nostalgic purposes
Bob Ross + chia = absolute fun! The seeds actually took very well to the surface and they’re just starting to sprout now. Can’t wait for the finished product! Dimensions are the same as mentioned on the box. Happy with the purchase
