Care instructions

 

ecocube contains coconut fiber granulate, clay granulate, compostable planting cup and a 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.
  • After 24 hours remove seeds from water and plant the seeds 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, 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 moderately.
  • The orchid tree will begin to germinate after abpit 2-4 weeks.
  • 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 repot your plant with its compostable planting cup. You can also use your empty cube as a pen holder!
  • It will take at least 4-6 years of growth for the plant to start blooming.
