I put this on my wishlist to send to family members and got this from my uncle. First off, the packaging was awful. It came in a shipping bag, and in the bag, were just little sandwich bags. No Protection at all. In the package, there is the capsule and a baggie of seeds. No water grate/filter thing as shown, no shovel tool, no dirt. Surprisingly, there was already a little cactus, nice and healthy looking, sprouting in my key chain, and I had extra seeds. I went to water the plant and discovered that the cactus was actually HOT GLUED into the "dirt", which was the fake soil used for artificial indoor plants (If you look carefully at the base of the plant in one of the pictures, you can see a plastic-y type of base that is making the plant stand up and look alive). I carefully removed the hot glue and got the excess off of the cactus, which was a real cactus, and I will now try to keep it from dying, as there are no roots. I know nothing about cacti, as I was expecting a cute little bonsai plant like in the picture. I guess I have the housing to make my own keychain, but I am quite disappointed.
