Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Sprout Pencil

This writing utensil features the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's logo. At the tip of this unique pencil, there is a small seed capsule. Write, draw, doodle, and design until your pencil is too short to use. Then turn it upside down and press the green end into the soil, covering only the capsule. Water immediately to activate the seed capsule and continue to water daily; enough to keep the soil moist. Plants typically take about 1-3 weeks to germinate.

Pencils are made of natural materials (sustainable cedar wood and a clay AND graphite core) and are available with one of three types of high-quality non-GMO seeds. Choose from carnation, daisy, or forget me not seeds! 

Additional Tips:

  • Use a good soil (starter mix) or coco coir as growth substrate.
  • When selecting a flower pot, make sure to choose one with drainage holes.
  • Plant the pencil crooked (allows the plant to grow straight up) and make sure it is only in the soil deep enough to cover the capsule.
  • Eventually, place a clear plastic bag with the corners cut off, over the flower pot to increase humidity and ease germination (remove it when the seeds have germinated).
  • Water daily by filling the saucer up with water and waiting 10 mins. Add more water if it's all soaked up. Repeat until soil is saturated then discard remaining water.
  • Allow seeds to receive a little sunshine at a time. Once growth is showing, the plant should be placed somewhere sunny.
