Frequently Asked Questions

The cards are made of unique material that contains seeds of summer flowers. These special cards consist of two thin layers of paper, with seeds in between. After reading, the cards can be planted in the ground, giving the card a second life in the form of summer flowers!

Growth cards have been developed to grow plants in a sustainable way. The paper is formulated so that under the right conditions it decomposes in the soil and allows the embedded seeds to germinate. But how can you achieve the best results? Here is a simple step-by-step plan:

1. Preparation
Start by choosing the best spot to plant the card. Both indoors and outdoors are possible, but outdoors requires a little more attention given the weather conditions. A sunny spot in spring or summer is ideal. If you are in doubt, use a pot with good potting soil that you can place indoors if necessary. Fill the pot approximately two-thirds with potting soil.

2. Plants
Place the card on the earth in the pot. If the card is larger than the pot, overlap is not a problem. Wet the card well and then sprinkle a thin layer of soil (about half a centimeter) over it and press it down gently.

3. Watering
Once the card is planted, water it generously. The card should be damp, but not soaked. Keep the card moist for at least the first 10 days as this is essential for the seeds to germinate. Place the pot in a sunny spot, indoors or outdoors.

4. Let it grow
Continue to keep the card moist once the first seedlings appear. Gradually reduce the amount of water, as too much water can suffocate the seedlings. Water the plants occasionally according to their growing needs.

5. Enjoy!
When the plants start to bloom after a few weeks, you can choose to pick them and put them in a vase, or you can simply leave them in the pot or in the ground. Either way, enjoy the beautiful and sustainable results of seed paper!

What if the seeds don't germinate?
Despite careful attention, the seeds may not germinate. Possible reasons for this include insufficient humidity during germination or the use of old soil without nutrients. We recommend planting the card indoors in winter or early spring. With these tips, growth chart failure should be almost unthinkable.

In today's rapidly changing and hectic world, personal attention is extremely valuable. A handwritten card from your employer can contribute a lot to this. It is a sign of recognition, appreciation and connection.
