How to plant in a Bios Incube^® Lite

Planting an urn or plant inside the Bios Incube® Lite is extremely easy. It works in the same way as any standard planter. All you need are some small stones, good quality soil-based compost, your Bios Urn® (which can be kept indefinitely until you are ready to plant) and your chosen seed or seedling. If you are planting from seed, give these important planting tips a read before planting as sometimes your seeds may need a bit of pre-planting care for anything up to 6 weeks to make sure they grow into a big strong tree!

Then you are ready to go! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Gently add about two inches of small stones, broken ceramic or terracotta at the bottom of the container to prevent the drainage hole from getting clogged.
2. Add a portion of good quality soil-based compost to the bottom of the planter.
3. Prepare and plant your Bios Urn ® or Bios Urn Pets ® inside the planter following our simple step-by-step planting guide.
4. Fill in the side gaps of the planter with the remainder of the compost.
5. Cover the seeds with only a small amount of soil ; 1/4 inch (1cm) is generally sufficient. Make sure you don’t plant the seeds too deeply! None of the Bios Urn® should be exposed, it should all be covered by soil.
6. Place the white cap in the hole on the upper side. This is simply a design feature and not intended for watering.
7. Give your tree or plant a lot of TLC and watch it grow close to you! Read our Planting our additional Planting Tips for containers here.

 

How to transplant from your Bios Incube^® Lite

Regarding how long it can stay in the planter, it really depends on the tree or plant you chose. Once you plant the Bios Urn® in the Bios Incube® Lite, it will biodegrade over time, during which time the tree will be growing.

If you choose a normal tree, once your tree has grown to an appropriate size, we do recommend planting it somewhere natural, such as a forest, or backyard, because trees will only grow in accordance to the volume of their soil. Technically, a tree will reach adequate size within 12-18 months. You can transplant the tree earlier or later. The time period to do so will also depend on the seeds you choose to use.

You can also choose to plant a dwarf tree or plant and leave it in the planter indefinitely. If you decide to plant a dwarf tree, it’s growth will be controlled, but it may still never reach it´s potential size inside the planter and may need transplanting depending on how it’s doing.

Once the tree has grown well and it is more established, this is a good time to choose to transplant it. Ideally at this point you would plant it in the earth so that it´s roots can carry on growing. There are many online tutorials dedicated to tree transplanting, which show the best methods to utilize to transplant a tree without compromising the root ball.
