Our plantable paper is a biodegradable eco-paper made with paper waste that is embedded with seeds. When the paper is planted in a pot of soil, the seeds grow, and the paper composts away. It’s easy to plant and grow, and best of all, there’s no waste. 

How to Plant Our Seed Paper

Prepare Your Pot

Fill your pot 2/3 full with good potting soil. Tamp down the soil and add more if necessary. You want the pot to be firmly full, but not packed. The paper can be planted indoors or outside, so you get to choose according to the temperature and conditions at the time of planting.

Plant The Paper

Take your plantable paper and cover the soil in the prepared pot with the paper. It’s okay if the paper overlaps. Spread a 1/8 inch layer of soil over the plantable paper pieces and tamp down gently on top.

Water During Germination

After planting the paper in your pot, give it a good soak. You want the paper and the soil to be nicely damp but not swimming in water. During the first 10 days, keep the paper moist at all times. The water is necessary for germination.

Care After Germination

Once sprouts appear, continue to keep the paper moist but be careful not to overwater. Once sturdy plants appear, water as needed. 

Each Item is Unique

As each piece is handcrafted, each piece is unique. 

Sizes may have slight variations because each product is lovingly handcrafted by our partner communities.

As wood is natural, it may have different shades of color and marks. Hence, appearances may vary resulting in inconsistencies of the wood used. Furthermore, wood differs in variation and hardness so finishing and engraving may come out differently in each piece.
