Starts to grow in a few hours! Only tip is to find a safe place before adding Magic Liquid in order to avoid sloshing around and uneven growth. Only to look at - touch the crystals on the cleanup day if you must, as hey brush off easily. Also, You'd rather stay as far from kids (if you have one) the chemicals are a bit nasty.

Loved the coloured ones of these when I was a kid so got this to use at christmas with my 5 year old (I let her nowhere near the chemicals and displayed on a high shelf) and it grew quickly and lasted ages and was really very lovely. Going to get for next year too.

This tree is easy to set up, "grows" fairly quickly (1 day or less), has some cute little decorations for you to add after it's grown, and lasts a long long time. We had it set on a shelf in a glass front cupboard for about 6 months before we decided that as a Christmas decoration it needed to be moved. Once moved it started falling apart, but for something that was meant to be very temporary, it did much better than expected. Add to this the low price and you've got a fantastic Christmas activity for any child (as long as she/he is supervised).

Our daughter had one of these crystal growing toys in her stocking for the last three years (Snowman and penguin previously) and they have all been magical. Extremely simple to set up, results in hours that can be seen gradually appearing and adorable end result which lasts for months (if you don't mind it sitting around out of season). I think they are relatively expensive but worth it. With the tree, we put the beading on before the crystal grew, thinking that if we did it afterwards it may knock the crystals off. However, the beading largely became covered by the crystal so, it may be worth trying to lay it on carefully afterwards -unsure.

I remember having magic trees when I was younger. This one is great fun to have at Christmas. As promised within 24 hours it was fully grown. Over 2 weeks later it's still in full bloom!

Excellent! very happy with my purchase. Super quick delivery and tree was packaged well. tree grew very quickly, first crystals started to show after a few hours and tree was fully grown within 24hrs. the colour was very nice and the tree was very bushy as you can see from the picture. I ordered one of these from another seller who was selling for cheaper but I was disappointed. the colour of the tree was an awful sickly green. this however is a good one and I would recommend it.

The instructions were really clear, the tree grew really quickly and is still standing two months later!

This is a good product and works well as stated on packaging. However I was quite disasspointed as the tree was not green. Instead it was multicoloured. I guess its my mistake choosing this color thou. :D
