Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Monstera deliciosa seeds do not store well, so if not planting right away, store in sphagnum moss in a baggie in the fridge to prevent rot and drying out. Germinating fresh seeds is easy and quick, and germination rates vary from 50%-100% depending on setup and freshness of the seeds.
(Find more info on germinating seeds by going to our seed guide)
These seeds are for the 2024 growing season.
This company and their detailed information on how to get your seeds germinated are absolutely incredible. I wasn’t expecting such a high germination rate (90%, meaning 9 out of the 10 seeds I received sprouted). I meticulously followed their directions, including pre-soaking the seeds, keeping them warm on a heat pad, and providing them with a grow light. What you see in my photo is my sprouts at just one month old. At this rate, I feel the rest is on me! I will continue to follow this site to the “T” in terms of making sure the sprouts are cared for as best as possible until this site no longer has any more guidance OR the plants are adults, whichever comes first! LOL I highly recommend this company and these seeds. Do what they say, and you should be successful.
Everything grew within a month. Super happy and will be back!
Just wanted to give an update on how my monstera is coming along after 1 year. I sold the rest over the summer cause I don't have space for a bunch of monstera but the one I kept is now putting out leaves that are bigger than my head! What a difference a year makes! Absolutely gorgeous new leaf 💚
My monstera babies are growing!!
I did exactly what the instructions said to do and my seeds are starting to sprout! Thank you, Alina and Jeff!

FAQs
how difficult are these seeds to grow?
Houseplant seeds are generally trickier to grow than your more common garden seed varieties- they require a specific setup and more time to sprout. You can find the difficulty for each seed variety specified under the "about the seeds" tab on each product page.
We definitely recommend following the setups outlined in our seed guide here, and you can find further details in our blog!
how long does it take for the seeds to germinate?
Houseplant seeds take longer than most seeds to germinate, the average time for germination is 2-3 weeks. If you're curious about the sprouting time for a specific seed variety, you can find that information in the "about the seeds" tab on each product page.
how do I grow houseplant seeds?
All of our orders come with a basic starter guide for you to follow, but our seed guide here goes in much more detail and also offers alternative seed starter methods.
We also include additional planting tips specific to each seed variety under the "instructions" tab of each product page. If you need extra help, don't hesitate to reach out to us at hello@plantflix.com!
my seeds aren't germinating, what do I do?
Houseplant seeds are tricky, and sometimes certain more difficult varieties can take some practice to finally get them to sprout!
If you're having trouble with the seeds, you're not alone. Luckily there are ways to sometimes salvage seeds by adjusting the setup- this quiz can help diagnose any issues you may have with your setup and make suggestions for how to improve it.
