Plant the Seed

Planting your seed

Growing seed paper is a simple little joy, and we love using it because it reflects what Pawthos is all about — kindness, care, and giving something back to the world.

Every seed behaves a bit differently. Some sprout quickly, some take their time, and some decide not to grow at all. Things like weather, soil, sunlight and how often you water it all play a part. So while we can’t promise every seed will bloom, we can promise the experience is worth it.

Think of it as a small moment to slow down, plant something with intention, and see what nature chooses to do. Follow the steps below, take your time, and enjoy watching something kind begin to grow.

Follow these simple steps

1

Soak in water for 24-48 hours.

Fill a shallow container with room‑temperature water and gently place the seed paper inside.

Make sure it’s fully submerged so every part of it can absorb moisture. Leave it to soak for 24–48 hours, this gives the seeds time to soften and wake up, which helps kickstart the germination process.

2

Transfer to a pot with soil, water regularly.

Prepare a pot with well draining compost or potting soil. Gently place the soaked paper on the surface and press it down lightly so the seeds make good contact with the soil.

Water regularly to keep the soil moist (not soggy) and give it plenty of light.

3

Keep in a warm place (very important!) with natural light.

Place your pot somewhere warm and bright, a sunny windowsill or greenhouse works well. Seeds love consistency, so aim for a steady temperature between 18–24°C

Good airflow helps too, especially in humid spaces. It keeps mould away and gives your seedlings room to breathe.

Keep the soil moist, but not soggy. If it dries out completely, the seeds may stop growing, but too much water can cause rot.

Enjoy your blooms!

As your seeds begin to sprout, keep caring for them with regular watering and plenty of natural light. Over time, those tiny shoots will grow stronger, develop leaves, and eventually turn into full, blooming plants. It’s a slow, lovely process, one you can enjoy from the very first sprout to the moment the flowers open.

Take a moment to appreciate what you’ve grown. It’s a small reminder of how something small can take root and flourish.
