"Festive Foliage" Seed Mix

Get your home ready for the holidays with this Festive Foliage Seed mix! It includes a mix of houseplant seeds that grow into lovely red and green plants- already decked out for the holidays!

The seeds selected for this mix are beginner-friendly, germinate and grow relatively quickly, and thrive in part-full shade outdoors or in bright light indoors. Perfect for a family gardening project! 

Instructions:

Select a planter with good drainage made out of a material like plastic, ceramic, or rice hull that will keep moisture sealed in. Water the potting mix generously and ensure it's wet, not soggy.

Sprinkle the seeds on fresh potting mix, cover the seeds with a light layer of soil, water lightly to ensure the seeds and soil are very moist. Cover the planter with a humidity dome(you can use a ziploc baggie or plastic wrap), and keep in a warm spot (>70F) out of direct sunlight (grow lights or a windowsill with filtered sun are best). Some seeds will germinate more quickly than others, give them some time to sprout! Once most of the seeds have germinated, start to remove the humidity dome, then the seedlings can gradually be acclimated to more sun. 

Happy planting!
