Flowering Plant
Start a beautiful flowering plant for someone you love or to brighten your days during the long winter.
What you need:
 |
wire clothes hanger |  |
|
clay pot with dish | |
|
acrylic paint | |
|
paintbrush | |
|
ribbon | |
|
masking tape | |
|
potting soil | |
|
nasturtium seeds | |
|
paper |
What you do:
| 1. | Protect your work area with newspaper. Paint a pretty picture
or pattern on the clay pot and dish. Allow to dry. |
| 2. | Ask an adult to help you bend the clothes hanger into a circular
shape. See diagram. |
| 3. | Wrap the circular part of the clothes hanger with ribbon,
choose a colour that matches your painting. |
| 4. | With the masking tape, tape the top of the hanger to the
inside of the pot. |
| 5. | Fill the pot with soil and gently pat it down. |
| 6. | Poke four or five holes in the soil. Make the holes approximately
1 cm deep. Put one seed in each hole and cover with soil. |
| 7. | Attach a card with instructions on how to care for the plant. Example: To brighten your winter days, here is a nasturtium plant. Place it in a sunny spot. Water every few days. As the plant grows, twist it around the wreath. If you like you can eat the flowers. |
