Planting Seeded Paper

1. Prep the Paper

Soak the card overnight in a bowl of water

2. Plant

Fill a pot with soil. Place the card on top of the soil and then cover it in a thin layer of soil (around 2 millimeters). Place the pot in the sunniest spot, the more sun the better!

3. Water

 Water generously!

Afterwards check the pot every 2-3 days. You'd want to keep the soil moist until string sprouts appear. Use a spray bottle to water your card. 

4. Enjoy

Continue to water your sprouts and remember they thrive better outdoors! And don’t forget to enjoy your seeded memories.

When Should You Plant?

The best time to plant is usually between early March to early June. By planting in the spring, you'll get the most out of your annual plants. Prime time we suggest is late March / early April.

Wildflower seeds such as ours can also be sown in the autumn however a certain percentage of seeds may get lost and not bloom due to rain, birds, and animals. 

How Much Light Do You Need?

Since our seed mix are wildflowers, they do best in full or partial sun. However try to avoid scorching sun, such as in front of a window that gets sun all day. 

How Often Should You Water Your Card? 

In the early stages, you want to keep the soil moist. Ideally use a spray bottle to ensure the sprouts don't break under the pressure of falling water. Once the sprouts are 3 inches (approximate) then you don't need to water it unless there is a long period of dry and hot weather.

Remember, more sun the better and they thrive best outside (pot, garden, planter - patio, porch or open window) doesn't matter, just outside!

Great question! We recommend double the area of your card, so simply, yes, a bigger pot will work better :)
