Instructions

Growing Instructions:
- Planting Depth: 6 mm (1/4")
- Seed Spacing: 1.3 cm (1/2")
Fill a container with potting soil approximately 5 cm (2") from the top. Scatter seeds and press into the soil to ensure good contact and cover with 6 mm (1/4") of soil. After planting, water the seeds with a gentle mist. Cover the container with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap. It is critical to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy, during germination. Place the container in a cool and dark place to help the seeds germinate. In 5 to 7 days you’ll be able to see the tiny seedlings sprouting. Remove the plastic wrap carefully and thin seedlings to 1.3 cm (1/2") apart. Place the container where it can receive some sun and indirect light, a windowsill is perfect for this. Keep soil slightly moist. Once the grass is 7-12 cm (3-5") tall it is ready for your pet to enjoy.
