Plantable Pencils

• What is a plantable pencil?

  A plantable pencil, also known as a sprout pencil, is a biodegradable pencil with seeds embedded in a capsule at the end. Once the pencil becomes too short to use, it can be planted in soil. With proper care, the seeds in the capsule will sprout, growing into flowers, herbs, or vegetables, depending on the type of seeds included.

• How to plant sprout pencils?

  To plant a sprout pencil, place it at an angle in a pot of soil with the seed capsule end facing down. Cover the capsule lightly with soil and water it gently. Place the pot in a sunny spot and keep the soil moist. Within a few weeks, the seeds should start to sprout, growing into plants.

• How to use plantable pencils?

  Plantable pencils are used just like regular pencils for writing or drawing. When the pencil becomes too short to hold comfortably, it’s ready to be planted. The seed capsule at the end can be buried in soil to grow a plant, making it a zero-waste alternative to traditional pencils.

• Do sprout pencils work?

  Yes, sprout pencils work effectively when planted under the right conditions. As long as the seed capsule is placed in soil with adequate sunlight and water, the seeds will germinate and grow into plants. These pencils are a fun and sustainable way to give used pencils a new life and promote eco-friendly practices.
