How to plant seed paper

Every PRWMade order ships in plantable seed paper packaging. Instead of ending up in a landfill, the packaging grows into wildflowers when planted in soil. Here is how to plant it, when to plant, and what to expect.

1. Gently place your seed paper on soil that's soft but not squished down too firmly.
2. Cover it with about 1/8 inch of soil, then give it a nice, thorough watering.
3. Keep the soil moist and ensure your seed paper gets plenty of sunshine.
4. Be patient - sprouts should start to pop up within a week or so!

The Perfect Time to Plant Seed Paper

For the best results, plant your seed paper in the spring if you live in an area where the ground doesn't freeze. If you're in a colder climate with frozen ground, fall planting works better. No matter the season, you can always grow seed paper indoors in a sunny spot by the window.
