    I'm not quite sure what went wrong, but I planted all of my seeds after following the instructions for seed prep but only one has sprouted. I'm excited to see what it ends up looking like but sad that it was only 1 out of the pack that grew.

    Store owner replied: Hello Rebecca. Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that germination was lower than expected, as we understand how disappointing that can be after following the planting instructions. Germination can sometimes vary based on conditions like temperature, moisture, and seed depth, even when everything is done carefully. We’re glad we were able to provide a resolution and that you’re giving the remaining plant a chance, and we hope it turns into something beautiful for you. We truly appreciate your feedback as we’re committed to the quality of our products and your success!
