The capsule contains one several varieties of plants - and once the writing end of the pencil is all used up, you can simply stick the capsule end in moist soil.

The seed is expected to germinate within 1 to 3 weeks. The capsule of each pencil are preservative-free, non-genetically modified organism (GMO) allergen-free, and gluten-free.

The seed is come from several varieties of plants - herbs like basil or rosemary, flowers like roses, vegetables like tomato,sunflower,carrot or some other fastest growing plant.
