How to grow
Blooming paper grows best from early spring to summertime. After planting the seeds will sprout within 5-10 days. With enough water, sun & love the sprouts will grow out into flowers, herbs or veggies.
- Moist the card or paper;
- Place in a pot or garden in a sunny place and cover with a small layer of soil;
- Water every day to keep moist, the seeds will sprout and start growing;
- Take good care of the small sprouts, for the best result, good luck!
Outside the growing season you can plant paper with flower seeds in a warm place with enough sunlight, blooming will start in springtime. For herb- and veggie seeds we recommend to wait until March to plant the card in your house to sprout (preferably in a tiny greenhouse) and outside from the second half of April.
