I followed all instructions and tried separating my seeds in to four different attempts. All of these suffered very quick mold growth that overwhelmed the seeds, even wintering them in the fridge, with slight ventilation, regular examination and a varying degree of moisture across the 4 sets of seeds in high quality peat moss. No seeds even started to sprout, and the issue was not a need for scarification, as some seeds became mushy — water is penetrating the outer shell.These seeds are not worth the many months of effort we put in to tracking and caring for them, compared to just purchasing a started chocolate vine.

Their appearance does not inspire optimism.I’ll give them a shot because I’m a sucker for false hope, but if I end up growing nothing but regret, I won’t be surprised. 🌱💔

You will waste your time on this. I've had a green thumb for many years and didn't have a single sprout with these. Followed directions exactly and gave them exactly what they needed. Contacted company for a refund and they ask for the seeds back, as if I would try to dig them up after weeks. Waste!

Have had them in the sun in a warm place for weeks and not 1 sprouted. Followed the directions included. Think I'll get plants rather than seeds. Bonus was a lot of seeds, more than advertised, but can't seem to get them to sprout.

Plants arrived quickly, and in great shape. It’s been over a month and the plants are growing nicely. They are thriving in the hot sun on the west side of my home.

I'm not sure what these are, what grew is not a chocolate vine, it looks like a common weed/dandelion most of the seeds did not germinate or sprout or whatever gave a friend the last few and each seed grew into something different. This was a waste
