Lovely magic bean with "Love"on the bean, suitable for lovers, friends, family, and everyone you care.

It's easy to plant the seeds as well: get some soil from your garden and put the bean in a small pot, then, occassionally water the soil to moisturize the bean and just wait. Keeping the environmental temperature between 18 and 25 degrees celsius (that's between 64'F and 77'F) helps ensure a successful growth. After 3 to 7 days, you will see the sprout of the seeds. And soon after that you will see a little green plant showing your message to the receiver. It's an unique live gift!

                                            Pros: It's easy to plant and it doesn't need much care, just water when the mold is dry.
The plant grows extremely fast. After a month or so my plant is about two meters (over 6ft) tall. I measured over 5cm (2 inches) growth per day!
It also looks very good too.
 
                                            Cons: All of my 10 beans featured a same text "Angel".
 
                                            Other Thoughts: With a better text, it's a perfect gift for someone special. Plant it beforehand and let them watch it grow.
The package contains ten beans, so if you don't need that many, you can give them to your friends to enjoy.
 
                                            Bottomline: Great item, good price. Too bad I got only Angels.

Very Interesting

                                            Pros: Very cool to send as a gift hidden in soil with some message "Water every day", 10 days after the person will see the message, your girlfirend will love when the "I Love You" message pops on a bean plant!!!
 
                                            Cons: Not so easy to grown as they say, I pu to much water and they died =[ 
Takes to long to get perfect.
When you put the bean in the wet soil the messages some times get dirty and can't be read.
 
                                            Other Thoughts: Very cool gift, kids will love to grow a bean =]
 
                                            Bottomline: Guys could find some way to put other messages, I got a chinese message lol, you have to buy more than 1 package to get all the messages, also they come repeated.

Very neat idea!

                                            Pros: A living thing you can order from China and it'll still be alive (sorta) when you get it! Very cool idea and interesting that the message shows up on the leaves when they sprout!
 
                                            Cons: Too bad they don't have these for huge trees, that would be cool!
 
                                            Other Thoughts: Not very useful, but cool nonetheless!
 
                                            Bottomline: Buy a pack, and plant some magic beans. Why not? They're fun (if you like watching plants grow that is...). It's tempting to buy a bunch of packs and then just plant them in random places to see people's reactions...

Very big beans with message

                                            Pros: You just have to plant these beans in a pot and see how fast they grow. They come with several messages and funny drawings.
 
                                            Cons: Not very useful, they're not for food, so just see they grow.
The message can only be seen on the seed's sides, so once it emerges from the earth it can be read clearly during a week, then it unfolds to gro the first two leaves and it starts to shrink.
Be careful, it gets quite big in just two-three weeks with almost hand-size leaves!
 
                                            Other Thoughts: Great idea to give some of them as a gift, but be sure the person you give it has enough room in his/her house ;-)
 
                                            Bottomline: Buy some of them if you have a garden to plant them, or give some as a gift.
