Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about PLANTABLE SEED PAPER.
How do you plant Plantable Seed Paper?
Soak the paper in water, then cover it with about 3mm of soil in a pot filled two-thirds with potting soil. Wet the soil until it is damp, without ponding. Keep it moist for the first 10 days and give the pot good sunlight.
How can I help the seeds in Plantable Seed Paper germinate?
Soak the paper in water before planting, which is meant to speed up germination. Lift it out gently afterwards, because wet paper is soft, then keep it moist in good sunlight.
Is the thickness consistent from sheet to sheet?
