Chia Pet Bob Ross Terracotta Planter with Seed Pack | Easy indoor growing activity with fast-sprouting seeds; reusable pottery makes a fun birthday, holiday or office gift

This Chia Pet was both hilarious and nostalgic. Watching Bob Ross’s iconic hair sprout was a fun experience, and it made a great conversation piece. Easy to set up and surprisingly satisfying to grow—perfect gift for fans or collectors.

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!

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!

Five stars for it being Bob and one of the most creative chia pets I’ve seen. But three stars because it was really hard to keep the top of his head moist enough to grow. It absorbs the water fast, which means the top dries out fastest and first. If you keep refilling it leads to the lower half growing too fast and rotting. So you really have to be able to spray it evenly constantly throughout the day, something I didn’t have time for. As for pasting on the seeds, you’ll have to get probably add more seeds than they suggest. I mixed it per the instructions, but the seeds on the side of his head would eventually slide down and congregate at his neck. So unless you want a Bob Ross with a ton of beach hair, you will need to consistently scoop it off and re-spread it on all the bald spots around the side of his head. So just be aware. But still—a really cool thing and fun no matter what.

This was a fun gift!!

Perfect white elephant gift for Christmas time if you are doing cheap funny gifts!

Such a silly gift, used for white elephant and was a big hit.

I give it three stars for nailing the likeness, but I‘m pretty bummed about the rest. Everyone in my household was thrilled when they found out I purchased this....until a few days after planting, when we realized that it leaks...it leaks a lot! There‘s a small, hairline crack on the neck of mine below where I need all the water to saturate the clay for the seeds to grow (his head and beard). (SEE PHOTO) Perhaps if you just planted his entire shirt, that would be fine, but what‘s the point? At least for me, I wanted it to look cool! Ok...I‘ll admit, Instagramable. First off, you might want to fill it with water and see if it leaks before you plant. Don’t spend a crazy amount of time, (like me), trying to get all the seeds to stick in all the right places just to find out that to get something broken to work, you‘re going to have to fill it, baste it or spray it with water 1 or more times a day! Secondly, it’s not easy to plant. You can‘t just slather chia seeds on it and hope they‘ll stick in all the right places. (The original chia pet was pretty easy because it was glazed in places you didn‘t want chia seeds to sprout.) This takes some time to get them to stick where you want them too. I used a wooden chopstick that I patted dry between each chia seed placement. (You‘re right, I do have better things to do, but I got a bit obsessed with making it look good.) It‘s a wonderful idea that I absolutely love, but like many other reviewers, I‘m gonna have to say that this product literally doesn‘t hold water. It‘s soooooo disappointing!

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.

Gave it as a gift, the birthday girl loved it!

Its ChiaPet!!! Of course it's fun. Resemblance to Bob Ross is extraordinary

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

Was sold out everywhere & I really wanted to get it for my son for Christmas so was willing to pay 💰 extra to have it.
