Sprinkle seeds across the surface and press them no further than 35MM into the ground. This packet is enough for 2m2
Water and wait! seeds should germinate within 2-5 weeks.
You can also grow this in a pot by following the same instructions!
Soil Wetter (GREEN SWIRL)
This packet is enough for 4m2 of soil (approximately 1 handful per 1m2), simply throw onto your soil and water it in!

This soil wetter is full of plant extracts, amino acids and growth stimulants. Everytime it rains these granules will release these to the plants.

PLANT SPECIES 1 [note 2cm of rocks in bottom of pot]
Phlebodium aureum Blue Star Fern
For best results, grow Phlebodium aureum in a bright spot out of any direct sun, in moist, well-drained soil. Keep a spray bottle handy so you can give it a regular misting to raise the humidity – or try growing it in a bright, steamy bathroom.
There is 2cm of rocks in the bottom of this pot which function as the water reservoir. Try not to over water, if you do simply cover the top of the pot with your hand (so the soil does not fall out) and the excess water will exit the pot. Keep an eye on the soil, its always best to water when it’s looking on the drier side. We would recommend twice a week, just half a cup or less.
PLANT SPECIES 2 [note 2cm of rocks in bottom of pot]
Asplenium nidus Birds Nest Fern
Grow in a position with filtered light, or outdoors in a shady position. In the wild Birds Nest Ferns are found in moist and shady forests where it grows as an an epiphyte on other plants and rocks.
