If you don’t have a drip tray, use a plastic dish or lid that is a little bit larger than your pet.
You may not end up using all of the seeds. If your seeds aren’t sticking to the Chia pet, empty the pot, and spread the seeds over it again. Keep the pot empty, and don’t water the seeds 2 days.
If you are having troubles getting the bag to stay up, put a long stick inside the watering hole of your pet, then place the bag on top of that. The stick will prop the bag up, like a tent.
Some gardeners will recommend not watering the pet for the first two days so that the seeds can stick to the pot. [4] X Research source
