Feel Green ecocube "Bird of Paradise Flower"

The Bird of Paradise is a very popular decorative houseplant. The flowers grow in intense colours and at a touch of the exotic to your home! These fully compostable ecocubes are made with organic certified seeds and special plant granules in elegant alder wood cubes. The ecocube can even be planted together with the plant in a pot, since it is fully compostable and thus slowly turns into a valuable fertiliser.

The ecocube makes a great gift for anyone who loves exotic plants. It is natural, sustainable and beautiful. However, growing the plant does require a bit of patience.

How to use the cubes:

• Open the ecocube and remove the protective film. Carefully take the seed out of the bag and remove the orange, fuzzy seed jacket with a clean knife. Soak the seed in a class of lukewarm water for 48 hours.
• Press the seed about 1-2 cm deep into the granulates. Pour about 30ml of water into the cube.
• Place the ecocube in a bright, warm place and water regularly. Cover the cube with a glass and make sure that the granulate stays moist but not wet.
• Take the glass off of the cube for about an hour a day to let the seed breathe.
• After 4 weeks to 8 months, the seed will start to germinate. After about 4-6 years the first flower begins to grow. After a year you can plant the whole cube in a pot.
