My tree didn't sprout, what to do?
It takes 2-6 weeks for the seeds to germinate, so it might be just a matter of time. But if that time has passed, please report the issue to
info@forestnation.com with photos and also let us know what tree species you were growing.
There might be many reasons for germination to fail. Overwatering or underwatering, or overexposure or underexposure to sunlight are the most common reasons. Also, you need to make sure you follow the instructions and put the lid on for the cup or fold the top of the pouch to create a greenhouse effect that's ideal for germination. Sometimes, even after doing everything correctly, the tree might not sprout because we're in the hands of nature.
But don't worry, we'll send you replacements to try again :)
