Plan Your Requirements

Think about how many trees and bushes you really need.

Twelve well grown plants, grown on a windowsill, can be made into hundreds of trees and bushes.

But you may not need that many.  And you may need your tree materials now. So it may behoove you to buy some branches that suit your needs.

In any case do read our comprehensive discussion on using seafoam for trees.  To read it click here.

To Grow Your Own

I grow 12 plants on my window sill as a minimum.  Why this minimum?  It takes just about as much time to sow 12 plants as it does s6. So I plant 12.

I add hundreds of trees and bushes to my scenery. So it is worth my time to grow them.  Plus the plants are really quite attractive.

Where To Grow Your Own Seafoam Teloxys Aristata

The plant needs sun, water and temperate conditions.

If you live in a temperate climate zone. you can plant them in a small garden plot, in pots on a balcony or on a widow sill – provided you have sun on the plants for at least 6 hours or a grow light, if not.

If you climate is either hot or cold, grow them indoors.

If you lack sunlight, get a grow light.  You can get very inexpensive grow lights on Aliexpress.

How We Grow Seafoam All Year

We grow seafoam in a small flat on a very small balcony and on a window sill.  After September in Poland, we grow it only on our window sill.

There is sufficient sunlight in my South facing windows to allow me to grow seafoam in pots on the window sill all year round.  I do not need grow lights.

For more northern locations, grow lights would be required for winter “window farming”. You can get very inexpensive grow lights on Aliexpress.

I care for them with an occasional watering and a less occasional watering with a little fertilizer added.

The point of this is that you do not need much space.

More Detail

The Teloxys Aristata / Seafoam seeds that we use are from Holland.  They usually germinate in 1 to 2 days after they are added to a seed germinating tray, and the tray covered.  You can buy these fast germinating seeds here.

The seeds are mere specs.  Do not cover them. Surface sow it just like the plant seeds naturally.  Just gently press the seeds into the surface of the soil.

From the cold, dry Gobi desert, Seafoam likes humidity to germinate, followed by dry conditions once established.

Use a general purpose, unfertilized, moist seed sowing mix at about 23°C for germination.

Sow sparsely, Teloxys Aristata is prone to damping off, and will grow spindly if sown too close together.

Remember that last point.  Soon after your seeds germinate, thin them down to a couple per tray pocket.  After a week or so, thin them down to one per pocket.

Mature Seafoam

When your seafoam is mature, it will turn red.

Now it is time to harvest,  and preserve your crop.

I cover each of those processes in a separate page. How To Harvest And Preserve Seafoam –

That page will then take you to a step by step guide for making seafoam trees and bushes.
