Re-bloom
Re-Bloom
is LaSpezieria's new collection dedicated to recycling and the possibility of giving our botanical containers a second life by making phacelia, chamomile, and wildflowers sprout and bloom thanks to our plantable paper tags.
Sometimes what seems finished isn't finished at all, it's just taken on a new form.
Bloom!
The paper is completely biodegradable and has a beautiful natural, matte appearance. It is made from 100% recycled paper that is hand-treated in a paper and seed "porridge" to which no chemicals are added, just water.
It is composed of two thin layers of recycled paper glued with potato starch, with the seeds sandwiched between them.
The printing process, including the water-based ink, is completely eco-friendly, free of toxic substances and solvents, protecting the seeds and ensuring the flowers grow safely.
First, soak the paper well and place it in a pot indoors or on soil outside in the garden. Cover the plantable paper with about 1 cm of soil. Water it a little every day to keep the paper moist. The first seedlings will emerge after about a week. The best time for planting outdoors is from mid-May to October. Indoors, in pots, it can be planted year-round. Always ensure sufficient light, heat, and water.
First, soak the paper thoroughly. And we mean really thoroughly! Only then can the paper biodegrade so the seeds can germinate.
Place the paper in a pot, or directly in the garden, on top of some potting soil. Preferably use seed or flower potting soil. The best time to plant outdoors is from May to October. Indoors, paper can be planted in pots year-round. Read below to find out the best time to plant the different types of seeds available.
Cover the paper with about 1 cm (maximum 1.5 cm) of soil. This will ensure the seeds receive enough nutrients, protection, and light to germinate. If the paper is covered with too thick a layer of soil, the seeds will germinate more slowly or not at all.
Initially, water the paper a little every day to keep it moist. It's best to use a spray bottle so the paper is evenly moistened. A watering can or cup without a spout can prevent the paper from getting wet all over, thus preventing all the seeds from germinating.
Finally, place the paper in a bright, warm location. Be careful, however, to avoid a spot in full sun, especially in summer, because the paper can dry out and prevent the seeds from germinating. Now it's time to be patient! The first sprouts will appear after about 7 to 14 days, depending on the type of seed. Continue to give your sprouts love and attention even after germination. At this point, you can water them a little less than the first week.
