Half bury the seed bomb in the pot with the previously hydrated substrate.

SUNFLOWER

Helianthus annuus L. Asteráceas

The ideal sowing time is at the start of the winter and the optimal germination temperature is 18º C. To start growing, water the soil and crumble it into the pot. Plant the clove 3 cm down, with the pointed end pointing up, and cover lightly with soil without applying too much pressure. Keep the crop wet without flooding it, in a place that doesn’t get too much heat. Your seeds will start to germinate after approximately 30 days, which may vary depending on the conditions. When the plants grow 5 cm high, transplant them, one by one, directly into the soil or to a 20 cm-diameter pot with drainage holes. Garlic prefers clay soil with a basic pH (greater than 7 pH). For this, you can mix multipurpose soil with a little ground clay. For the plants to develop correctly, they need to be exposed to direct sunlight and watered when the top layer of soil is dry. Add organic fertiliser or humus once a month after transplanting. You can harvest your garlic after 5 months, and after not watering the plant for 15 days beforehand, once you notice that most of the leaves are yellow. Remove the plant completely and leave it to dry for 4-5 days.

WOOD FORGET-ME-NOTS

Myosotis sylvatica L. Boragináceas

A perennial plant originally from Europe. You can sow these seeds at any time during the year inside, or in spring in the open air. The optimal temperature for germination is 15-18ºC. To start growing the plant, water the soil, crumbling it into the pot, and half-bury your seed ball.
Keep the soil wet without flooding it.
Your seeds will start to germinate after approximately 15 days, which may vary depending on the conditions. Place the pot in a bright spot but away from direct sunlight.
When the plants have grown 4-5 leaves, transplant them, one by one, directly into the ground or to 10 cm-diameter pot with drainage holes. This plant prefers fertile and loose soil with a neutral pH. Add organic fertiliser or humus once a month after transplanting. You can grow this plant inside or outside, preferably in fairly shady areas.
Water once a week, or twice a week during hotter periods. Flowering occurs during the summer.

HOP

Humulus lupulus L. Cannabáceas

Up to here The ideal time for sowing is spring. The germination temperature is 5-15ºC. Keep the seed ball in the fridge, in an airtight bag, for 2 weeks before sowing. To start growing, water the soil, crumbling it into the pot, and half-bury your seed ball. Keep the soil wet without flooding it. Your seeds will start to germinate after approximately 20 days, which may vary depending on the conditions. While the plants are young, do not expose them to direct sunlight. When the plants grow 10-15 cm high, transplant them, one by one, directly into the soil or to a 20 cm-diameter pot with drainage holes. Hop needs soil that is fertile and drains well, so you can use multipurpose soil and enrich it with humus. To flower, it needs 8 hours of sunlight every day and to be watered when the soil is dry. Depending on how it grows in height, it may need a stake to climb. Flowering occurs in the summer. Add liquid fertiliser during this time and harvest the flowers at the end of September. Female flowers are green and spherical, while the male flowers are small and yellow. It is a good idea to get rid of the male plants to avoid fertilisation.

EDAMAME

Glycine max L. Fabáceas Variedad Summer Shell

The ideal time for sowing is in spring and the optimal germination temperature is 20º C. To start growing, water the soil, crumbling it into the pot, and plant the seeds 2.5 cm down. Keep the soil wet without flooding it. Your seeds will start to germinate after approximately 15 days, which may vary depending on the conditions. When the plants have grown 4 leaves, transplant them, one by one, directly into the soil or to a pot that’s at least 20 cm in diameter with drainage holes.
This plant does not require a particular type of soil or pH, so you can use multipurpose soil enriched with humus. For them to grow correctly, the plants need to be exposed to full sunlight and watered frequently, as they do not tolerate being dried out. Add organic fertiliser once a month after transplanting them. Harvest after 180 days, when the leaves start to fall and before the pods mature.

CATNIP

Nepeta cataria L. Lamiáceas

You can sow the seeds inside throughout the year, but the best time for sowing outside is spring. The optimal temperature for germination is 18ºC. To start growing, water the soil, crumbling it into the pot, and half-bury your seed ball. Keep the soil wet without flooding it. Your seeds will start to germinate after approximately 7- 10 days, which may vary depending on the conditions. Place the pot in a sunny spot and lightly soak the plants every day. When the plants grow 10 cm high, transplant them into the soil or into a 20 cm-diameter pot with drainage holes. This plant does not need a particular type of soil, so you can use multipurpose soil and enrich it with humus during the flowering period. To flower, it needs a minimum of 4 hours of sun every day. Your cat might start to eat the plant once it has grown about 20 cm.

MUSTARD

Sinapis alba L. Brasicáceas

The ideal time for sowing is spring, although the plant can be grown inside all throughout the year. The optimal temperature for germination is 20ºC. To start growing the plant, water the soil, crumbling it into the pot, and half-bury your seed ball. Keep the soil wet without flooding it. Your seeds will start to germinate after approximately 5- 10 days, which may vary depending on the conditions. Do not expose the plants to direct sunlight when they are young. When the plants grow 10-15 cm high, transplant them, one by one, directly into the soil or to a 30 cm-diameter pot with drainage holes.
Mustard prefers clay-sandy and well-drained soils, with an optimal pH of 5.5 to 6.8.
For them to grow correctly, the plants need to be exposed to full sunlight and watered when the top layer of soil is dry. Add organic fertiliser that is low in nitrogen once a month after transplanting. Harvest the pods when they change colour from green to brown.

Capsicum chinense L. Solanáceas

Seeds can be sown between January and May. The optimal temperature for germination is 25ºC. To start growing the plant, water the soil, crumbling it into the pot, and half-bury your seed ball. Keep the soil wet without flooding it. Your seeds will start to germinate after approximately 15 days, which may vary depending on the conditions. When the plants have grown 4 leaves, transplant them, one by one, directly into the ground. You can also use a 30 cm-diameter pot with drainage holes. This plant requires fertile soil, as well as potassium-rich organic fertiliser once a month. For the plants to grow correctly, they need at least 8 hours of direct sunlight and frequent watering. You can harvest your Caribbean red chillies after 150 days, once the peppers have developed a bright red colour.
