desertcart.com : Fresh Cacao Seeds for Planting - Wet Cocoa Seeds - Make Chocolate, Great as Bonsai (4 Seeds) : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: arrived fermented and non-viable, second order is same. - I ordered this item TWICE and BOTH times the seeds arrived soaking wet in the white flesh of the fruit, stinky of yeast activity with package BALLOONING from CO2 production. DO NOT ORDER THESE. I thought the first delivery I would try to plant them anyways so I scraped the white flesh off and planted them in my most tropical soil mix I have ever made and gave it excellent sprouting conditions from a collection of correllating information from a set of research papers... they all failed to sprout and upon analysis they were fermented into unroasted chocolate. The second order was even worse condition when delivered. I STRONGLY suspect this is the desired outcome of the company selling these items and wont even try to argue with them, I dont feel like arguing with scammer gaslighting profiteers who send bad seeds because they themselves are bad seeds. I can't handle being told "its your fault they arrived in that condition". Everything I have purchased from CZ seeds has been subpar or non-viable
Review: Key is heat? - UPDATE 6/19/22 Heat is for sure the key. The seeds did end up sprouting but when I moved them inside for the winter they did struggle in a cooler basement. I've ordered the same seeds off Etsy sellers and they have sprouted no problem with the use of a heating mat...If you want these to sprout, get a heating mat. So, I’ve ordered this twice…And, after talking to them about the issues with the seeds, they sent another couple seeds for me. I believe I know as to why the seeds are not sprouting for many. I was guilty of it on my first round. These seeds are not like any other seeds. They NEED heat. If they get too cold, they rot. I’ve found that out after researching videos. They’re local to hot and humid places. I assume many are ordering in places that are not an ideal location. My second round is under a 25 watt red reptile lamp in a terrarium. I don’t have a heating mat, so that is the best I could do when I received them. Will this work? I don’t know, but it’s atleast getting heat at around 80 degrees. I’ve giving this one last shot and calling in the towel. They did come wet with the white skin on them(which is good, if they dry, they are not viable) and also came with a little bit of root. So, who knows. I’ll update if something happens.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long do they take to germinate(sprout)? How tall will they grow?**
A: Under ideal conditions you can see sprouts in 5-10 days after planting. It can reach 15-25 feet tall.

**Q: What zones are best for growing? I live in new Jersey**
A: You would not be able to grow outside.  Cocao requires tropical locations but can be grown inside with proper lighting in a large planter once established.

**Q: What type of pod are the seeds from: Criollo, Trinitario or Forastero?**
A: These seeds are from the Trinitario variety.

**Q: I'm co fused with this post. Is this a bonsai tree or cocoa?**
A: These are seeds to grow your own cacao tree.  It is not a bonsai tree, these trees should grow 4 foot in the first year.  Although, I did not have any luck with my seeds.  I hope this helps.  Bonnie

### ⭐ Not a dependable company for seeds!
*by G***S on February 9, 2026*

First eight seeds failed to sprout and rotted. They replace eight seeds which also failed to sprout and rotted. Fortunately Amazon credited my purchase cost. Will never buy seeds from CZ LLC in the future.
