I have not used the product, because it was a gift. Doesn't it seem like it's over a foot wide or something? Well it's not ... it's about the size of an adult hand ... I was surprised! Why are dimensions not listed as a rule of thumb? How are they to properly communicate this? For what I recieved, I think it should have been $5-$6.

hi "i am (insert name here) who are you?" (here, america) - See all my reviews

i like cacti and growing some sounded fun. but they grow slowly and thats ok for me.

looking at this product and the review... yes one. not more than that.
what about the future of the plants? gotta replant them when they grow up?
needs more of a description yes..
whats with the space theme? desert would be nicer. and are they trying to make it look better by putting pictures of cacti in the backround? or am i wrong and it was just a flat cacti?

moon dust? ... sandy soil? isnt that what they grow in? honestly i believe a child would get bord with a slow plant like this right? mine would..

if you want plants for a child try a fast easy to care for flower. sunflowers are slow but amazing for kids because they see how massive they get. indoor flowers would be something like a bulb. paper whites aren't colorful but make lots of flowers quickly. i personally planted a Amaryallis about a week and half to 2 weeks ago and its around 1foot tall."it was over a year in dormancy before i planted it"

but there are tons of seed plants like marigolds and such. could always grow dandilions hahahaha they are free and edible on salads.
