FAQs

When is the best time to plant the cards?

While they can be started indoors anytime, spring and early summer are generally best for outdoor transition to give the wildflowers the most natural light and temperature for growth.

Can I write on these with any pen?

Yes, but we recommend testing your pen first. Due to the textured nature of seeded paper, ballpoint pens usually provide the cleanest lines.

Do I need special soil?

Standard multi-purpose garden compost is sufficient to support the growth of these native seeds.

Will these grow indoors?

Yes, they can be started indoors in pots, provided they receive sufficient sunlight and consistent watering.

What happens if I wait more than a year to plant them?

Seed viability naturally declines over time. While they may still grow, the success rate of germination decreases significantly after 12 months.

Troubleshooting

Seeds are not germinating

Ensure the pot is placed in a spot with adequate natural light and that the soil has remained consistently moist throughout the incubation period.

Ink is bleeding or smearing while writing

Use a ballpoint pen or a fine-liner rather than a fountain pen or heavy gel pen to prevent excess ink saturation on the fibrous paper.
