How to Make Chia Pet Seeds

By Home & Garden Last updated Monday, August/26/2024

1). Plant Chia Pet seeds in your garden. They can be ordered through catalogs or the Internet. Transplants are also sometimes available and will allow you to make Chia Pet seeds sooner. Water regularly and keep the weeds away.
2). Wait for the flowers to bloom and dry out before harvesting. They will turn brown and become brittle.
3). Hold a bucket just below the seed heads. Use a flyswatter to hit the seed heads, which will release the seeds into the bucket.
4). Place the contents of the bucket into a fine sieve. Cover the top and shake back and forth. This will remove any dried flowers or leaves that have fallen into the bucket.
5). Store your seeds in a cool, dry location to help the seeds last for several years.
