Care Instructions
- Fill a plant pot with good quality compost & water well
- Place your seed pod into the compost until almost submerged (about half a 1cm ideally should be showing)
- The pod will absorb the water from the compost and feed nutrients directly to the seed
- Make sure to keep the compost moist but not overwater
- When your plant becomes big enough plant out into a bigger plant pot or directly in the ground
- The pod will eventually fully biodegrade leaving no waste!
- Prior to use, store in a cool dry place
Why isn’t my SeedCell growing?
- Your SeedCell pod may not be growing for a couple of reasons:
- Please check that you are not overwatering. Because of the nature of the material SeedCell pod is made from, it will absorb any moisture and nutrients from the soil/compost and feed this directly to the seed. The pod will also retain moisture, meaning that you do not have to water as much. If you over water, you run the risk of drowning your seed
- Check the growing times for each variety of seed. Growing times can be a big factor when having issues with growth and germination
- Give your SeedCell time. Seeds can be very sensitive to temperature/the surroundings/conditions and can sometimes take a little longer to germinate than usual. Usually, with a little nurturing and patience, your seeds will begin to thrive
How long does it take for my SeedCell pod to biodegrade?
- This will depend on your soil/compost choice
- Your pod should start to break down within 6-12 months
Do I need to use plant feed with SeedCell?
- This is completely up to the grower
- Your SeedCell will grow absolutely fine without any added help
- However, using plant feed can sometimes help your seeds thrive that little bit extra and give them the nutrients they need to have a more successful crop
How many seeds are in each pod?
- Seed quantity will vary depending on the variety
- We make sure that each pod has enough seeds to guarantee germination and a healthy yield
What kind of compost should I use?
- We would always suggest using good quality compost where possible
How often should I water my plant?
- Give your soil/compost a good watering before you insert your pod and always make sure that the topsoil is moist throughout early growth
- Try to not overwater your pod as this will inevitably drown your seeds. The pod itself will absorb any moisture from the soil/compost and feed it directly to the seed meaning you do not have to water as much as you might with conventional growing
- Please do not forget that seeds are living organisms and are susceptible to failure due to bad care
- If you look after your seeds, there is no reason why your plants won’t thrive and produce healthy a crop
How far apart should I plant my pods?
- This will depend entirely on the variety you are growing
- Some varieties can be grown in close rows such as herbs
- Other varieties such as pumpkin, for example, will need plenty more room to grow
How do I ‘thin’ my seedlings?
- Thinning crowded seedlings ensures that your plants have plenty of room to grow. If they’re too close together, they will eventually end up competing with each other
- Once your seedlings start to appear through the top of your pod, simply pull your pod from the soil, being very careful to make sure you don’t pull apart the roots
- Pick the strongest seedlings (look for the one that is the most compact, and has the thickest stem — if they’re all the same size, then just pick the one that looks the best)
- Use small micro-tip snip scissors or bonsai shears for precision cuts
- Cut the weak seedlings off at the base – it’s very important that you cut the stems off at the base, rather than pinching them out
- And never try to pull the seedlings out of the soil while thinning. Doing that can damage the delicate roots of the others, which could end up killing them too (this is especially important for root crops)
- One of the main causes of deformities is damage to the roots when plants are young
