Q: I have one but it is dying. How do you replant it?
submitted by Balletlil14 - 5 years ago
A: Yes, over time your garden will need to be replanted. You can use left over materials that you may have from the kit or purchase new soil and seeds from your local garden center. You will basically take the materials out of the jar and rework the project.

Q: Throw do u care for it after it has grown a lot? Transplant?
submitted by Callahan - 7 years ago
A: My daughters planted the seeds provided in the kit. They do not sprout actual flowers but more like a petit grass/ground cover. We did not transplant as there was really no reason to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter absolutely loved this! She had so much fun doing it all on her own, with supervision. It’s easy to do for school age and the instructions are easy to follow. She’s excited to continue to take care of it and see how it grows. An adorable little project, highly recommend.
Educational as well as fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super fun for the kids. My daughter really enjoyed customizing the container with the stickers and planting the seeds! It even has an educational section that shows how seeds grow. I love that you can see the roots growing in the container. She’s having a blast keeping it alive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 6 and 8 year old enjoyed this kit. They used their creativity to decorate the jar and were so excited that the figures, some stickers, and the sand glowed in the dark. My kids were very impatient after planting, but the seeds started sprouting after about 3 days, and we measured their growth every day. We did struggle with a small mold ball growing on top of the soil despite only misting the seeds with the included sprayer and leaving the lid off and in a sunny location. I like that the kit includes enough seeds and rocks to be able to plant again. It's not a big deal that I need more soil to do it again, but i do wish that it included more glow in the dark sand to use for future uses.
Great for a science lover

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I revived this complimentary kit from influenster. I decided to have my nephew create the terrarium. He had so much fun creating this terrarium! He was able to do all of it by himself with just me reading the directions to him. He enjoyed creating each different layer. I personally liked the sweet animal theme. He waters it with the mister checking for new growth. Very exciting activity that isn’t just over once the terrarium is complete. It continues to excite and intrigue his little mind!
Awesome! Glow in the dark pieces dont glow very well..

Awesome! Couldn’t keep the cute lid on bc the grass grew sooo tall. My only downside is that unfortunately the glow in the dark things barely worked. You’d have to hold a spotlight directly on it and would only glow for a couple min. Wouldn’t glow at all from sunlight or natural room light🤷🏼♀️🫤 Other than that super cool! Kids loved putting it together!

Although it was testing in regard to working with two toddlers. (3 and 1 3/4), it was a pretty smooth project other than and mix of layers, which is all in good fun of exploring. Great results. Anyone know if the wheatgrass and chia seeds are edible?
Cute idea

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a cute activity to do with the kids, or comes with everything needed to put together a mini terrarium in a small plastic container. It includes, glowing sand, stones, grassa and chia seeds, also stickers to decorate the jar. The only cons I find so that kids aren’t that patient to be waiting for the plants to grow or to be taking care of it, at least it’s not the case of my son. Still, it’s something different to do.
Fun, parent led activity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought my 8 year daughter would enjoy this. Well, it quickly turned to frustration. The little bit of colored sand that is included, was not enough to be spread evenly. And it doesn't glow as bright. The directions state to mist each layer, but the sprayer left the middle mostly dry. When constructing, you cannot tilt the jar, otherwise everything slides around. The figures included are super cute and my daughter loved the fox sticker. But definitely decorate before constructing. It comes with 2 different types of seeds. The grass takes longer, and more misting to germinate. And it is something that requires care every few days.

We're sorry to hear you had some difficulties, but we're glad to hear that you and your daughter shared some crafting time together. Younger children may need adult assistance. The sand requires charging by a bright or blue light and will produce a subtle glow in the dark after doing so.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is definitely one of the most interesting and fun things I have experienced together with my children. They were so excited to get started on this kit once I brought it home. Clear instructions were given and it was so easy to put together. My kids are ages 6 and 8, but I imagine this would also be great for kids of any age. Within a few days, we noticed roots growing at the bottom. Within a week, we noticed sprouts springing up. After a few weeks in, the sprouts were growing so tall that we decided to remove the cap off the jar to give it more room to grow. And it definitely grows. It's now over 6 inches past the top of the jar. The kids are amazed at how much it grows every day that goes by. I don't know how long this will last, but I have a feeling it'll be here for a while as long as we keep spraying it down with water. It's one of those things where a little bit of money goes a long way!
Kids love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was begging to do this project from the day it arrived. She had so much fun learning about the different layers the soil needed to be placed in so the plants could grow. She has been watering her plants for the past month now and they have grown so much we had to remove the lid. She has already talked me into buying a different kit from the same brand so she can do it again.
Easy, fun, and everything is included.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This comes with everything you will need to do a fun project with a child. I have a toddler and she is so proud of our terrarium! The box gave a pamphlet with 5 or 6 easy to follow instructions. After about two days we had rooting, and by day 4 the terrarium was steamy and looked like those photos attached to this review. We were given this Grow and Glow terrarium for free for my honest review.
So much fun for kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was super easy and fun for my son. We love plants and watching this grow was like a little scientific experiment. Our cat has knocked it over multiple times and no breaks and I really appreciated that it wasn’t this giant obnoxious box for a small activity.
Great creativity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My just-turned-4-year-old and I really enjoyed doing this little project together. She definitely couldn’t have done it completely on her own but was able to take charge for most of the steps and especially decorating at the end. It was a good little STEM activity as she had to practice patience so that the sand layers didn’t mix and then again for our seeds to sprout. I do feel they could give a little more of the colored sand and less of the seeds. The plastic jar doesn’t feel super durable but overall this was a fun activity that she was very excited about and got to flex her independence with. I would gift it to other children her age.
