Pronto Seed Grow Your Own Cactus Kit with 5 Seeds Varieties - Indoor Growing Set with Sustainable Packaging Display - Gift for Women, Men - Beginner-Friendly (Cactus Kit)

I bought the Pronto Seed Growing Set (Herbs) as a gift for my sister in India, and it turned out to be a thoughtful, unique surprise. It arrived in good condition and fairly quickly, considering it was an international delivery. The packaging was neat and gift-worthy, and my sister loved the concept right away—especially since she enjoys cooking and had been wanting to grow her own herbs. The kit includes everything needed to get started: seed packets, biodegradable pots, soil pellets, and clear instructions, which made it beginner-friendly. She planted basil, parsley, rosemary, and chives, and so far, most of the seeds have sprouted well (basil and rosemary were the fastest). The quality of the seeds seems reliable, and watching them grow has been genuinely satisfying for her. It’s also a nice way to bring a bit of green into a small kitchen or balcony. Overall, it’s a charming, meaningful gift—especially for anyone who loves cooking, gardening, or just needs a little greenery in their space. Would definitely recommend, especially for gifting across borders!

bought as a surprise birthday gift for son. he works from home and he was delighted with the idea of growing herbs in ten lttle boxes on window cill where he could see them as he worked. instructions and video really clear and helpful he will wait for warmer weather to try them.

I was worried the seeds might not sprout at all, but with some extra warmth and light, a few did start growing after a couple of weeks. The kit looks great and has everything you need, though the packaging could be stronger. Compared to other grow kits I’ve tried, this one feels more thoughtful and beginner-friendly, but the results take time and not all seeds may germinate. If you’re patient and enjoy slow projects, I’d say it’s worth trying.

This kit comes with detailed instructions - but very poor ones. If you put the smaller seeds so far under the compost, they are unlikely to succeed; only the 'giant western cactus' seeds are really big enough for this. The naming of the three 'identified' species is a disaster, and tying up names on the seed packets with the pictured species may be a problem. The 'golden barrel cactus' is undoubtedly 'Echinocactus grusonii' which is easy to grow from seed, and should do well. The 'giant western cactus' pictured, is probably 'Carnegia gigantica' but the seeds supplied are Pachycereus Pringlei', a very close relative and of very similar appearance; both grow very slowly indeed - which is just as well - and are rather unexciting, though very tough. As for the 'clumping barrel cactus'... who knows? The seeds are labelled 'Ferocactus' (which would imply 'Ferocactus Stainesii' - a handsome plant), but the picture is not of any Ferocactus I know of. There are a number of possibilities, but the illustration is of a young plant, and I can't give a positive identification of the species. In view of the price of the product - which is excessive - this is shoddy work. As regards the mixed cactus mixture, (the picture shows cacti and succulents), don't be in a hurry to discard the pot - cactus seeds necessarily remain viable for some time, and some can take up to two years to germinate. You should get a lot of fun from the kit, however; watching a prickly young plant emerging from the ordinary-looking seed leaves is always fascinating, and the novelty never wears off. (wait until the seed leaves have disappeared before potting on). Good luck.

I’ve only just received this so feel it may be too early to review. Feels like a good project and the instructions were very helpful. I’m only in the first stage of planting the first 3 are in and the other two are in the fridge!

They actually grow quite surprised . Follow the instructions and voila herbs !

Totaly same as described

It's much too soon to know of the seeds are any good but it's a nice little 'garden in a box'. Bought for a friend who doesn't have any outdoor space but likes to grow things and cook with fresh ingredients. The coco coir discs are loose in the box so they are rolling around and shedding debris, would have been better if they had been wrapped in a paper bag to keep things a little cleaner. A little bit of damage to the box unfortunately so it doesn't look as 'gift worthy' as I had hoped but everything will still function as it should so I'll still be able to give it. Nice variety of seeds and chilli's of varying heat. It's a really neat unit, won't take up a lot of space, could be a fun activity for children to learn about plants. Instructions for setting everything up are easy to follow. Will update review once the plants are grown to assess viability of seeds and general taste of the fruit grown.

Mes enfants ont adore s en servir en plus s est réutilisable et il y a suffisamment de graines pour recommencer

Les graines ne correspondent pas à la commande

Super ludique. Il faut utiliser une pince a epiler pour manipuler les graines !!!

C'est tout petit mais sympa seulement je n'ai pas reçu une seule graine de thym... Du coup j'ai deux pots de vides

Il manquait des pièces, article renvoyé ! Qualité médiocre
