About
Golden Tainui or Rumaharou is a small shrub or small tree that grows in scrubby areas of the upper North Island. In spring, it earns its name "Golden Tainui" when densely packed corymbs of bright yellow flowers appear. It is a significant native plant of New Zealand. According to tradition, Māori observed that when Golden Tainui started to flower, it signaled it was time to plant their kumara crops, hence the plant's Māori name, Huarahou.
What’s Inside
Your seed bomb has been wrapped in entirely recyclable packaging. The bomb is composed of powdered clay and compost, which provides ample nutrients for the 3-5 seeds contained inside, ensuring they are not overcrowded during germination. To plant the bomb, bury it 2mm deep in a soil bed. Before covering the top with a thin layer of grass or soil, it is recommended to water it with three cups of room temperature water to initiate the germination process. Afterward, watering with 1 litre in the morning and evening is recommended daily.
How to plant? To plant, simply scatter the seed bombs over bare soil or patches in your garden. It is recommended to use half a litre of room temperature water to initiate the germination process. Once the seeds begin to germinate, you want to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. A good rule of thumb is to water with about 250 milliliters to 500 milliliters per seed bomb each day, depending on the weather conditions (less if it's rainy, more if it's hot and dry).
