FAQs
How many flower bombs can I make?
This kit includes enough materials to create up to 10 individual flower bombs.
Can these be used in indoor pots?
While they are intended for outdoor use, you can use them in indoor pots provided you have a balcony or area with enough sunlight for the flowers to thrive.
What types of flowers are in the mix?
The mix includes 20 varieties, including poppy, lavender, and summer aster, specifically chosen to support butterflies.
Is this safe for children to use?
Yes, the product is designed for all ages to enjoy, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children during the mixing and assembly process.
Do I need to add extra soil to the bombs?
No, the kit includes coconut soil tablets and natural clay to provide the necessary structure and nutrients for the seeds.
When is the best time to scatter the bombs?
Spring or early autumn is typically the best time to scatter the bombs to align with natural germination cycles.
Troubleshooting
Seeds are not germinating
Ensure the location receives adequate sunlight and that the bombs are not buried too deeply under heavy soil. Check that the area is receiving enough moisture.
Clay does not hold together during assembly
Add water gradually to the mixture; if it is too dry, it will crumble. If it is too wet, let it sit for a few minutes before shaping.
Flowers are not attracting butterflies
Ensure the flower bombs are placed in an area that is accessible to wildlife and free from pesticides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your flower bombs, combine the natural clay and coconut soil tablets with water as directed in the packaging. Once the dough-like consistency is reached, incorporate the seed mix thoroughly. Roll the mixture into small balls and let them sit until firm. These bombs are compatible with most soil types, though they thrive best when placed on exposed earth. For care, ensure the area where you drop the bombs remains relatively moist during the initial germination phase. If you are placing them in pots, ensure the pots have adequate drainage holes to prevent the clay from becoming waterlogged, which could potentially rot the seeds before they have a chance to sprout.
