Pencils can now be planted

--

Yes, it’s true.

The Sprout Pencil is a true flowering pencil.

It is made of birch wood, and on its end is placed a biodegradable capsule that contains seeds.

When the capsule comes in contact with water, the seeds are released.

The pencil has to be planted in a vase when it becomes too short to write with, and then all it needs is water, light and air. The capsules contain a big variety of seeds: flowers, vegetables, etc…

Once the plant is born, you can either remove the pencil, or leave it in the jar as a label.

The Pencil is completely ecological, and it has become very popular among the public.
