Care instructions

 

ecocube contains coconut fiber granulate, clay granulate, compostable planting cup and plant seed packet.

  • Remove the paper sleeve from the ecocube and pull back sticker.
  • Open the seed packet and put seeds in a glass with luke warm water for 24 hours.
  • After 24 hours remove seeds from water and plant them about 1 cm below the surface of the granulate in the cube.
  • Carefully pour about 30 ml of water on the planted seeds.
  • Keep the ecocube in a bright, very warm place and water moderately until plants are germinating (approx. 20 ml about every 3 days). Make sure that the granulate doesn't dry up – avoid waterlogging! Cover the planted seeds with a glass.
  • Remove glass daily for 1 hour to give plant air and continue to water the plant moderately. During sprouting, care must be taken to keep the temperature above 20°C. Remove glass daily for 1 hour to give plant air. The banana plant will begin to germinate slowly after about 2-4 weeks. Sometimes it can take up to between 4 to 8 weeks until the first green sprouts peak out.
  • As soon as the plant outgrows the ecocube (after about 6-8 months), repot your plant by simply placing the entire ecocube in a flower pot with some soil. The ecocube will slowly decompose and turn into a valuable fertilizer for the plant. Alternatively, it is also possible to just transplant your plant with its compostable planting cup. You can also use your empty cube as a pen holder!
