Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an excellent kit. Before getting to the kit review, I must first say that a big reason for the 5 stars is due to their customer service. I ruined the instructions that came with it through my own clumsiness. I sent a message to the seller directly and received a response incredibly quickly with an electronic version of the instructions. I have found them to be very friendly and very responsive. The instructions are clear, and I planted 4 seeds of each reserving the remainders for a second round if any failed to germinate. Germination can be a tricky beast. I was waiting to write my review until I had either successfully germinated all varieties, or if one or more failed to wait to see how customer support would handle it. All 4 have sprouted at least 1 plant now, and I used less than half of the seeds so I can do a second round and have even more plants. I read several reviews that reported mold as a major problem. Please note that the potting material is organic material and will mold if left alone. Like bread, fruit, etc., etc. given time and the right conditions any potting soil will mold. I had great luck with mine keeping the pots in an area with diffused sun all day, good ventilation, and misted with water only when needed. One additional old-school tip for preventing mold: sprinkle a (very!) small amount of cinnamon on the surface after planting the seeds. It is a natural anti-fungal. And check the soil at least daily and simply lightly rub off any apparent mold with a fingertip when you see it. EDIT: More photos, additional comments. The plants are doing great. The Jacaranda is growing like a weed. All plants have at least started the first set of "real" branches. Zero mold issues, and apparently I can't stop the Bristlecone Pine from sprouting. I already removed one sprout. I can not stress how great this kit is!
