How To Plant And Care For Your Seeds

Witnessing the transformation of a tiny seed into a vibrant flower, aromatic herb, or nutritious vegetable is both joyful and awe-inspiring. While not overly complex, successful seed sowing requires some essential knowledge.

Starting Seeds Indoors:

Begin by planting seeds in small pots or seedling trays indoors. This controlled environment allows for optimal temperature, light, and moisture, fostering robust seedlings. Once they’ve developed two sets of true leaves and the threat of frost has passed, gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions – a process known as hardening off – before transplanting them into garden beds or larger pots.

Direct Sowing Outdoors:

Alternatively, sow seeds directly into prepared garden beds. This method works well for larger seeds like sunflowers. However, direct sowing is less controlled; factors such as weather and wildlife can impact germination rates. For instance, birds might consume seeds before they sprout.

Experiment with both methods to determine what works best in your garden. Our Gift of Seeds packets contain ample seeds, allowing you to try both approaches. Plant some seeds directly outdoors and start others indoors to compare results. This hands-on experience will enhance your understanding and increase your chances of gardening success.

Remember, patience and observation are key. Each seed’s journey to maturity offers valuable insights and rewards, enriching your gardening experience.

Available Seeded Memorial Cards

Our Seeded Memorial Card collection features two meaningful seed varieties: Forget-Me-Not and Swan River Daisy. These selections are thoughtfully chosen to symbolize remembrance and enduring affection, offering a heartfelt tribute to loved ones.

How To Plant Seeded Paper

To plant your seed paper, begin by soaking it in water until it softens. Place the moistened paper on top of a pot filled with good potting soil, then cover it with a thin layer of soil, approximately 3mm deep. After planting, water thoroughly to ensure the paper and soil are evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Position the pot in a bright, sunny spot indoors, maintaining consistent moisture. Germination typically occurs within 10 to 14 days. Once the seedlings are well-established, you may transplant them outdoors.

FAQs

Can All Seed Types Be Sent Anywhere In Australia?
