- What are the steps I need to follow to plant my products?
-
All orders include planting instructions (for cards, they are printed on the back).
1. Soak the flower bombs/seed paper well in water first.
2. Plant the soaked flower bombs/seed paper under 1 cm of soil and keep them well watered and place it in a nice sunny spot.
3. Once you see some shoots, allow them to get stronger before planting outside in Spring or Autumn.(Germination happens typically in 2-3 weeks).
Please see 'Your Planting Guide' for more detailed information.
