Make your own plant pods (it’s a gift that grows)
Give someone green fingers! Or at least the sensation of being naturally good at gardening. See here how to prepare plant pods that will sprout like magic.
1. Create fertile soil
Shred paper napkins into fine pieces.
2. Soak and strain
Pour water on your pulp and let it soak. Strain most of the liquid away (go for moist, not wet).
3. Form discs
Divide evenly into cups or similar shapes (a thin layer in each will do). Sprinkle seeds of your choice on top while still moist, and let the pods air-dry (no heating).
4. Spread the joy
You now have pods packed with plant power, ready to be set in a flower pot with soil, watered and sprout their seeds. Perfect for themed gifts that keep on giving.
We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
