Step 1. Moisten your seed paper
First wet the seed paper thoroughly. And we mean really wet! Only then can the paper dissolve properly so that the seeds can germinate.
Step 2. Place your seed paper on the soil
Place the seed paper inside in a pot or outside on a balcony or in the garden on the soil. Preferably use seed or potting soil for the vegetable garden. The best time to plant outdoors is mid-May. Indoors in a jar you can do it all year round. Look below for the best sowing time of the grow card.
Step 3. Cover your seed paper with a thin layer of soil
Cover the seed paper with about 1 to a maximum of 1.5 cm of soil. This gives the seeds sufficient nutrients, protection and light to germinate. If you cover the paper under too thick a layer of soil, the seeds will germinate less quickly or not at all.
Step 4. Water, water and more water
In the beginning, give some water every day, so that the paper remains moist. It is best to use a sprayer with a soft head so that the paper gets the same amount of water everywhere. A watering can or cup without a spray head can prevent the paper from getting evenly wet and not all the seeds germinating equally well.
Step 5. Sun, warmth and lots of love
In addition, provide a light and warm place. Be careful with a spot in full sun, especially in the summer. Then your paper can dry out and the seeds will not germinate. Now it's time to be patient! The first plants germinate within a week. Continue to give your plants lots of love and attention even after germination. You can now give a little less water than in the first week.
