If you water in a saucer, you can pour off the excess water after 10-15 minutes, so you do not drown the plants.

The Sprout Pencil is non-toxic, absolutely no lead. Made of natural sustainable materials: the body is cedar wood, the writing material is graphite and clay. Recently we launched TREEWISE PLANTABLE Pencils Plantable pencils made from waste paper that grows to different plants like tomato, chilly, Coriander, fenugreek, etc. In place of an eraser the Sprout Pencil features a water soluble seed capsule so that when it becomes too short to write with it can be planted. The pencils are just like ordinary pencils, but instead of having rubber erasers on one end, they are equipped with gelatin capsules that contain the plant seeds. Eco Hub Cebu explains that the capsules are also sustainable because they are preservative-free, are non-GMO, hypoallergenic, and gluten-free.Recently in Nov 2016 AL HASANAT TRADING LLC – Dubai , commissioned a small scale manufacturing unit in Surat Gujarat, with head office in Ahmedabad under name of M/s.

Then, prepare sterile soil with high water absorption, such as peat moss, coco peat, bed soil, or a combination of these. Once your plantable pencil is shortened, plant it diagonally and obliquely in the soil from the end where the capsule is embedded. Immerse the pencil in the soil for a maximum of 1 cm. Then water it. The soil should always be moist so that the seeds sprout better. Re-irrigate the soil if it dries. After the seeds sprout, place them in front of the sun to grow. Do not forget to empty the water under the pot after each watering. Plantable Pencils As Green Promotional Gifts A pencil that grows! When the Sprout Pencil has served it's function, it can be planted and give life to a plant. The Sprout Pencil has been given this dual function by replacing the eraser, which usually sits on top of the Sprout Pencil, with a special seed capsule. The sourcing of pencil wood is an environmental concern; about 80,000 trees are harvested to produce more than 14 billion pencils annually. In recent decades, many earth-friendly pencils have come to market, including those using wood harvested from sustainably managed forests or made from recycled coffee grounds. Some even contain seeds to grow new plants.

Most of the seeds are quite little, so if you plant them too deeply, there is a chance that they will not sprout. Our Sprout Pencils can be used as standard promotionalpencils and once finished with them, your customers canplant them and watch them grow! Simply place the capsule end into the soil and watch the seeds germinate. The rest of the pencil will biodegrade and decompose.

A Cebu startup has created pencils that can grow into plants. Eco Hub Cebu has replaced pencil erasers with seeds, so that when the pencil is no longer useful for writing, it can be planted to become any of a variety of plants: basil, mint, citronella, chilli, sunflower, tomato, carrot, and more.

How To Use Plantable Pencils

When the Sprout Pencil has become too short to write with, it is ready to be planted. Follow the simple instructions below and see your Sprout Pencil sprout. All aspects of the Sprout pencil are sustainable and non-toxic – from the biodegradable seed capsule to the 100% natural clay and graphite core and PEFC/FSC-certified wood.

The novel idea of creating plantable pencils was originated by three students from the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston in 2012. It was their idea for the brief, "Design the sustainable office article of tomorrow". Above is a short profile about us and we humbly thank you for your support and look forward to doingMAKE THE WORLD SPROUT – This Special edition contains 8 graphite Sprout pencils. Look closely at the tip of this unique pencil and you’ll see a small seed capsule. Write, draw, doodle and design, until your Sprout pencil becomes too short to use, then simply turn it upside down, plant the stub and enjoy watching it grow into fragrant herbs, beautiful flowers or fresh organic vegetables. Each pencil indicates what seed type is inside and what plant will grow. Another difference is the number of seeds and the contents of the capsule. In sprout pencils, the suitable seeds and sterile soil are placed in the gelatinous chamber at the end of the pencil. However, in some modern seed pencils, the soil is removed, and the chances of germination are increased by placing more seeds in the end capsule of the pencil. The third and most crucial difference lies in the material of the pencil body. These personalised seed pencils are made of sustainably harvested wood and contain no lead - only a graphite writing core - and they are also supplied unsharpened.
