Pencils

This Pencils with seed pods for planting are a nice thought-provoking impulse to change the mindset of our society, away from the throwaway society and towards sustainability, self-sufficiency and zero waste culture. We've all been there: at some point, the pencil is simply too short to write well with and then you throw it away, even though there's still some of the lead left.

Not so with these pencils for planting. The capsules contain seeds for herbs or flowers, which can be planted as soon as the pencil has been written on. It goes without saying that the seed capsule is biodegradable and harmless. Just like the pencil itself. Strictly speaking, it is not a pencil at all. The lead is not made of lead, but of graphite and clay. Therefore, the plants and herbs that grow from the pencil stump are absolutely safe and edible.

How does the planting of the seed pod?

Planting the graphite pencil is very easy. Fill a pot with potting compost and water it so that it is slightly moist. Then place the pencil stub in the soil at an angle and not too deep. The seed capsule should just be covered by the soil. Now place the pot in a bright spot in your home, but out of direct sunlight. Make sure that the soil remains moist for the next few weeks until the seeds start to germinate after one to four weeks.

Why the sustainable pencils with seed capsule?

The environmentally friendly pencils are naturally made from natural materials. The wood of the sustainable graphite pencils for planting is of course from FSC-certified organic forestry. The lead is made of graphite and clay. Thanks to the natural materials, the herbs that sprout from the seed capsules are guaranteed to be safe, free from harmful substances and suitable for consumption.

Furthermore, the pencils are processed and packaged without plastic, so you can avoid unnecessary plastic waste.

The environmentally friendly pencils help you to promote a change in awareness towards a sustainable society and are also educationally valuable if you buy them for your children. Children learn that it is good to reuse things and grow herbs or flowers themselves.
