You probably have received a plastic container holding a baby plant and have been directed to this site. First I would like to thank you for visiting, I hope the plant will bring you much joy this summer. I really enjoyed preparing it for you!! If you are new to gardening and caring for plants I really want you to not be discouraged if it does not survive, caring or rather reading plants patterns and their needs are not easy, but you can always start again and plant another seed and see how it goes. Another thing that I would like to tell you is that I use acrylic paints to paint on these containers, that means that they are water soluble, if you wash these containers the paint will peel off. I try to paint above the plastic lid (or water tray if in use) so that when the water is drained and held in the tray it wont affect the paint. You can always use some compost to refertilize the soil and plant another one. Do not over-water your plants, water every 2-3 days, an espresso cup (or equal) of water should suffice. It is usually better to under-water then over-water them.
It is important for us to start thinking about the impact we have on this earth, our environment, our surroundings. Most of us have seen An Inconvenient Truth the Al Gore documentary about global warming. If not we are all definitely seeing and feeling the impact that our consumerism and our systems are having on us. The weather patterns are just one aspect, I am looking at our waste and this project is aimed at making other people aware of what our products are designed for and their impact and might just brighten up someones day and home. Please free to make your own containers and give them to your friends and family and defiantly feel free, or rather please use this blog and mark your containers and use flowerintitiative.wikispaces.com to comment on your thoughts of this project or of other uses, and maybe even solutions to plastic waste.
