- Soak the paper: Soak the seed paper in water for a few hours or overnight to soften the paper and activate the seeds.
- Prepare the soil: Fill a pot or tray with compost or soil. The soil should be slightly compressed but not too hard.
- Place the paper: Place the seed paper on top of the soil. You can tear the paper into small pieces.
- Add soil: Cover the paper with a thin layer of soil, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
- Water: Water the soil well.
- Place in a sunny spot: Put the pot in a warm, sunny location with well-drained soil.
- Wait for germination: The seeds should germinate within 7–10 days, but it can take up to 4 weeks.
- Thin seedlings: Once the seedlings have a few leaves, thin them out so they have enough space to grow.
- Water regularly: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
