Welcome to your planting guide. This guide teaches you exactly how to plant your plantable products and help them grow into beautiful wildflowers.
First of all, please don’t be disheartened if your shoots haven’t come out as you expected. We want your experience with our plantable products to be 100% positive. However, we cannot control your growing conditions.
To ensure your plantable products grow into a healthy garden of flowers we can give you some helpful tips. There are many factors to consider when you are growing from seeds. Temperature, moisture, air, and light conditions must all be considered for the seeds to germinate.
Our meadow paper is embedded with 20 types of live wildflower seeds native to the UK. A special paper that is made exclusively for us. We have tested the paper in many different scenarios, several times. They do sprout and grow, which we continuously showcase in the gallery and social media feed.
Please be patient as some seeds take longer than others, some could even take weeks to germinate, and if they don't provide positive results the first time please keep trying as you have a chance to grow something truly wonderful and support our bee population. Let’s get started…
How To Plant Your Paper
Step 1
Tear up the paper into smaller chunks, soak them well in water for half a minute.
Step 2
Plant the soaked paper under a very thin layer of soil, water them each day to keep moist but don't over water them. Place in the sunniest, warmest place in your house.
Step 3
Once you see some shoots, allow them to get stronger before planting outside in Spring or Autumn. Germination could take up to a few weeks.
Hints & Tips
Tip 1
Place a compostable or biodegradable see-through bag over the plant pot (please don’t do this if you are using biodegradable pots) to create a greenhouse effect.
Make sure to leave enough air to flow through, otherwise your paper will rot. This could make your germination a bit faster plus the bag keeps the moisture in so you would not need to water it as often.
Tip 2
If you do not have a bag keep checking the soil with your finger to make sure it is not drying out and keep watering it every day.
Tip 3
Best to put the pot onto your warmest windowsill away from radiator heat, but please note seedlings do not have the strength to survive a brief drought so try to keep your window shut.
