HOW TO PLANT YOUR PAPER

1. Tear the paper into small bits. Spread them onto some soil (preferably compost) in your home (outdoors or indoors). Cover them with about 1cm of soil.

2. Water the seeds every day. The soil should be welldrained so that the seeds are moist but not water-logged, as this may cause rotting.

3. Share a photo or video on your own social media with the hashtag #Sdpplantablepaper.

4. Be patient, as the seeds take one to three weeks to grow.

5. Basil can be grown indoors but ensure that the plant gets six to eight hours of sunlight (from a window) a day.

6. If you are planting in containers, repot your plants when they have grown and as they need more space. Regularly pick or trim the leaves once they are ripe for eating.
