Your name badge this year is printed on seed paper that you can later plant:
.jpg?w=720&h=487)
-
Find a warm and sunny spot to plant your seed paper. You can start inside and then later replant it in your garden.
-
Place the seed paper on soil and sprinkle a bit of soil on the top – the seed paper should not be more than a few millimeters deep.
-
Water the seed paper well and regularly – it is crucial to keep it wet.
-
The seeds will start germinating in 2-3 weeks. Some seeds start germinating later than others, so please be patient!
Did your seed paper not grow? It can happen – most likely because it dried out accidentally during germination. Don’t worry, just send us a photo of your (ungrown) seed paper card and we will send you a new seed paper for free!
