How to Use

  1. Place one soil mix pellet in each pot and place the pots on a saucer.
  2. Pour warm water into each pot, allowing the pellet to absorb all the water. Then pour in a bit more water. In a few minutes, the pellets will turn into soil and fill the pot.
  3. Press a half fingernail deep hole in the soil, place a couple of seeds in each hole, and cover with soil.
  4. Cut out the plant pictures on the box where marked and glue them onto the popsicle sticks to create your plant tags.
  5. Mark your pots with the plant tags and place them somewhere warm but not in direct sunlight. Keep the pots moist but not too wet. After about 7 to 14 days, look out for the seedlings!
  6. Plant the seedlings in a sunny spot in the garden when they are about 8cm tall and when any risk of frost has passed. Plant the pot and all, making sure the pot fully covered with soil. Leave a space of 50-75cm between each plant.
  7. Water your plants regularly and feed them with liquid fertiliser every 2 weeks.
