How To Plant Seed Paper
It's easy to give your card a second life.
Plant your card in 3 easy steps!
It's easy to plant your card at home - all you need is a garden or planter with soil, your card, and access to water and sunlight!
Place under 1/8" of soil
In a garden or a planter filled 2/3 of the way with soil, rip your card and place in a single layer under 1/8" of soil. Just enough that you can slightly see the paper poking through - we want the sprouts to be able to reach the surface.
Water thoroughly
Once the paper is in the soil, water thoroughly. We want the water to be damp, but not pooling with water so go slowly at first and continue to add until the soil has created a nice damp home for the paper to dissolve.
Place in sun
Whether the garden or the planter, make sure the soil has access to indirect sunlight. For the next 10 days, the seeds will be in the germination phase and it's important to keep the soil watered at all times.
Once sprouts begin to appear, continue to water enough to keep the soil damp. As the sprouts grow stronger and in to the stems of flowers, you'll only have to water as needed.
I hope you grow beautiful flowers that serve as a reminder of the sentiment of your card!
