Kowhai Seed Planting

Today we planted kowhai seeds.

The first step is to get a little pod of soil into a saucer and put 50 ml of water into it,
Then you let the pod absorb the water then take the fabric coating off of it then mix.

When it is fully mixed you put some of the soil into a paper or cardboard cup leave some soil in the other cup for later. Once you have used some of the soil dig a hole into the soil.
After that, you need to get your kowhai seed and scrape it lightly on a piece of sandpaper or 6-7 times.

Once that's done put the seed into the hole and cover it up then put that cup into a plastic cup and your done!

  1. Hi Taipari my name is Warren I go to Paihia school. I Like your blog post about Kowhai seed planting because I had been wondering if you grew it straight into the ground or in a pot. I never knew how you planted a kowhai seed until now. I hope it grows into a good kowhai tree. I have never grown a kowhai tree but I have planted a tree out at Urupukapuka. Have you ever been there?

    Well blog ya later!
