The card inside your candle jar is made from recycled paper and embedded with thyme seeds. Once your candle is finished your jar is ready to be transformed into a beautiful herb pot.
- Remove any residual wax from the jar - this can be done with hot soapy water. If the residue is stubborn, try using a hot hairdryer to soften it before washing.
- Fill with potting mix to about 2/3 of the jar, then add a layer of seed-raising mix.
- Soak the seed card in water until soft (about 1-2 minutes) and place on top of the seed-raising bed in your candle jar.
- Lightly cover with more seed-raising mix, water and keep moist. (this is very important!)
- Germination usually takes 7 - 21 days.
- Position the jar lid beneath your new pot (rim side down) as a saucer.
- Place in a sunny location indoors and enjoy!
*It’s important not to allow the seed card to dry out during germination as this can damage the seeds resulting in a trip to your local nursery!
