It’s always best to place seed bombs in a soiled area with limited debris preventing the seedlings from finding sturdy ground. Water the seed bomb for the first 7 days to make sure the seedlings don’t dry out. After the seedlings are about 5cm tall, you can reduce watering them to only when they need to drink so they become conditioned to the natural environment.
Flowers will bloom anywhere between 1-3 months after planting.
