15 Miracle Fruit Seeds (Synsepalum Dulcificum) - Grow Your Own Miracle Fruit Plants - Fruit Turns Sour to Sweet

Got extra's and almost all sprouted. One was even sprouted at time of arrival. Was packaged very nicely and appropriately. If anyone is contemplating this purchase, you will not regret it. They arrived very fast and ready to go. Seller takes the time to package them right. Mine are growing fast and looking great.Quality Seller. A+++ One Year Update: Out of 4 batches of 5 only one batch survived. Those were the ones we used only rainwater and few drops of Super Thrive on each month. I don't recommend fertilizer, tap, or bottled/distilled water. Avoid Miracle Grow soil, use organic non fertilized soil. For best results mist with rainwater daily. Also regular household lighting didn't do well. We use a standard grow bulb about 12 inches above pot. Keep it in the warmest part of the house and if they turn purple they are too cold. Another batch was doing good too until we moved it outside to the shaded porch, some direct sunlight hit it a few hours each day and they died. They do require daily or near daily care to keep them happy & healthy. Picture was taken today of my biggest & smallest living plants.

Based off the reviews that I read before buying these, I expected I’d get some pretty rough seeds; still I hoped for the best. My expectations were too generous. These seeds were wicked disgusting. They were totally molded over. They had layers of mold stuck to them. I was determined though. I cleaned them up a bit then soaked them in 3% hydrogen peroxide. I thought they looked stable. I thought I had salvaged them. I didn’t. I don’t have any that germinated and lived. I won’t recommend these to anyone.

Its been 3 weeks now since I received and planted my seeds. They all seem to be in different stages of development. Five of them took off like sprinters and are now showing two sets of leaves. 8 others has sprouted but no noticeable leaves as yet the last 2 are only now showing sign of sprouting. These are my second time around. I first bought 3 seeds, 2 began to sprout and then died the 3rd died with without sprouting. I am now trying again with better results. I say if you have an interest in this plant , take the risk, I think it's worth it UPDATE: 10 of the 15 seeds are doing splendidly. These seedlings are now about 3 inches tall with several leaves. I had a rather interesting experience with the other five. They developed some sort of fungus before their leaves were opened and their heads got soft and fell off. I remembered someone from a review stating that we should not be too quick to discard our seed if problems develop. The seeds may not actually be dead, and I noticed that the stump of the sprouts and the seed leaves were a pretty healthy shade of green so I kept them. After a few weeks I discovered that new sprouts were coming up next to the old sprouts which had loose their heads. Pretty interesting development.

I have about 5 seeds in a mason jar still green. 3 seeds that are actually sprouted all were transplanted into what you see in the photo. And the rest while they were fresh initially they ended up getting fungus and rotting. I just transplanted this large sprout to a big outside pot. Update 7/27/22: Well an update on the 5 seeds in a mason jar. 1 had become moldy so tossed it when the seed wasn't green any longer. There are four seeds left. Of the four seeds three have sprouted a root. Of those three seeds one already had a small stem about 1/4". See photo. The first seed that sprouted from this entire order currently has 3 leaves and is outside under an awning so it only gets direct early sunrise light. For the qty, price and very difficult germination in California (indoors without my seed starter setup) it is really meant for those that like a challenge and want this plant with paying $50 for a 4" pot. Here's my setup. Stayed in the mason jar with a little water. Stayed inside the bathroom. I didn't use a heat mat but I do have grow lights for plants in my bathroom. Changed the water from time to time with tap from the faucet. Wiped any mold/fungus from the seed and jar. A few times used hydrogen peroxide to quick clean both seed and jar. Here's the key to this seeds germination. Live your life and just check on it when you remember it. If it's green it's still viable. I haven't even checked the other one still in that rosemary container. I was happy with the first plant with three leaves. That third leaf took a while to come out.

Since these have such specific requirements, and I live in a rather arid place, I was hoping to get one, maybe two, healthy sprouts out of the 15 seeds. My hopes and expectations were completely dashed... instead, I have 15 glossy, beautiful, little plants! 100% success! Really, they've been quite worry and maintenance free. The key, I think, was setting up the proper environment from the start. Ingredients: -Plastic Critter Keeper -Decorative glass marbles -Seed starter Peat Pots -The recommended miracle grow soil -Humidity gauge (from the pet store, pretty cheap) -New plastic spray bottle -Water (from the fridge filter, allowed to warm to room temp before use) -15 Miracle Fruit Seeds What did I do? -The night before planting: Rinsed the critter keeper, spray bottle, and marbles with bleach water, then regular water. Filled the spray bottle w/ filtered water. -Taped Plastic Wrap to the lid. Only one side was taped, so I could flip it back and forth to better regulate the humidity and airflow as needed. -Put the decorative glass marbles in the bottom of the critter keeper, filled bottom to about .25" w/ filtered water to increase humidity. The marbles kept the pots up out of the water so they didn't mold/rot/oversaturate. The humidity never dropped below 85. -Filled the peat pots w/ soil. Thoroughly moistened the soil and pots with the water. Planted the seeds according to the instructions. -Put the peat pots in the critter keeper, stuck the humidity gauge inside, closed the lid, checked on them daily. Gave each seed a little spritz as needed.If it started to smell musty, I'd flip the plastic wrap back to let the air flow through until the mustiness was gone. Worked great. -Once they sprouted, I moved the keeper to a window with bright, indirect light. Remain patient. Keep it maintained and regulated. It took a few weeks before I saw my first sprout. All but two are now about 5-6". I almost gave up on the last two, but they popped up a couple weeks ago and are ~ 3" tall now.

When I ordered this product, I assumed by the picture included in the ad that I would be getting the seeds with the fruit still attached. It was additionally misleading that the description touted that the fruits/seeds were not picked until the orders arrived at the supplier to ensure freshness. I will plant the seeds, but was extremely disappointed once they arrived that they had their fruit stripped. The Christmas present I had planned for my husband had to be changed on a moment's notice.

Seeds were packaged in a damp paper towel to keep them moist during the trip. Seeds are only viable for a short time after being exposed to the air. Be sure to not let the seeds dry out. I followed the instructions provided and had 100% germination rate of the 16 seeds that I planted. Be warned that sprouts are very sensitive to dry conditions and do much better in humidity. I lost some of my sprouts because they got too dry. A great purchase if you have some experience growing plants. Do not try to grow these if you don't have experience growing plants. They are hard to grow if you don't live in a humid place. Best of luck to those who try!

I have grown a lot of seeds ... Soursoap, papaya, mango, guava, citrus, sugar apple from my own trees without any problem. I bought those one ... never grow ...
