It is also an excellent way to introduce children to the joy of gardening, and the small potted plants make wonderful, thoughtful gifts for the family and your dearest friends.

We have provided a list of our favorite seeds for growing plants in 4-6" pots, and also have put together a care-free pot kit containing 4 and 6 inch pots and fun to use Wonder Soil™ Wafers

You've probably tried small potted plants from your local garening center in the past, only to find out that they need watering daily, and often die without cause. That is usually because they have been subjected to growth hormones and overfeeding, causing them to become stressed and rootbound. This is not the case when you grow your own plants from seeds, and we use WonderSoil potting medium, which allows you to go for days without watering.

We've picked out some of our favorite seeds for Living Knick Knack Plants below, hope you enjoy yours as much as we enjoy ours!

We've combined sturdy six inch and four inch plastic pots ( Terra Cotta color has the look of clay pots but are very durable and light weight ) that will last for years along with premium Wonder Soil™ Wafers that provides the ultimate growing medium. Just a cup of water, and one Wonder Soil™ Wafers wafer expands to 14 times its original volume.

Great for seed starting, one wafer fills a 4-inch pot. Or add water to all 18 in the 1-pound tube and you'll have the equivalent of a 10-pound bag of regular potting soil, enough to fill 3 six inch pots and 3 four inch pots. This lightweight, soilless medium is made of coconut coir, peat moss and water-absorbing polymers.

An excellent potting mix for all types of plants, including houseplants, palms, cacti and container vegetables.

Allows you to mix only the amount of potting soil you need when you need it, extra wafers store away until you need them again.
