FAQ

About Sprout pencils

What are Sprout pencils?

A pencil with a second life. 
Sprout pencils are innovative writing tools that continue their journey after use. When the pencil becomes too short to write with, simply plant it in soil and watch it grow into herbs, flowers, or vegetables. Made from responsibly sourced materials and featuring a plantable seed capsule, Sprout pencils give an everyday product a second life while inspiring more sustainable habits. 

What are the Sprout pencils made of?

Sprout pencils are made from FSC®-certified wood sourced from responsibly managed forests, graphite, clay, and a biodegradable seed capsule containing non-GMO seeds. The capsule is attached using vegan glue, and all materials are non-toxic and responsibly sourced. 

Do the Sprout pencil contain lead?

No. Like all modern pencils, Sprout pencils are made from graphite and clay, making them completely non-toxic and safe to use. 

 
Where are the Sprout pencils produced?

Our production facility is located in Poland, Europe. From there, we manufacture and ship Sprout pencils to customers and partners worldwide. 

Why do my pencils have different wood tones?

As Sprout pencils are made from natural wood, variations in color and grain may occur between production batches. These natural characteristics are part of the product's authentic appearance and have no impact on quality or functionality. 

Are Sprout pencils safe for children?

Yes. Sprout pencils are non-toxic, EN71-3 certified, and made from responsibly sourced materials. The seed capsule is plant-based and contains non-GMO seeds. 

Due to small parts, Sprout pencils are not suitable for children under 3 years of age. 

What seeds are available in Sprout pencils?

Sprout pencils are available with a wide variety of herbflower, and vegetable seeds. Popular options include basil, forget-me-not, sunflower, cherry tomato, strawberry, and daisy, among many others. Seed availability may vary by region. 

How long do the seeds remain viable?

The seeds in Sprout pencils typically remain viable for several years when stored in a cool, dry place. For best germination results, we recommend planting the pencil within 2 years of purchase.

Can Sprout pencils be planted indoors and all year round?

Yes. Most Sprout pencils can be planted indoors throughout the year and outdoors during the appropriate growing season. For best results, place the pot in a bright location, keep the soil moist, and follow the growing instructions for your specific seed variety. 

How long does it take for a Sprout pencil to sprout?

The first sprouts typically appear within 1–3 weeks, depending on the seed variety and growing conditions. With water, sunlight, and a little patience, you'll soon see your pencil come to life. 

What happens to the pencil stub once it's planted?

The pencil stub serves as a natural plant marker, helping you remember what you've planted. Over time, it will naturally biodegrade in the soil. 

Does the pencil affect the taste of the plant?

No. The pencil does not affect the taste, quality, or growth of the plant in any way. 

Is the Sprout pencil patented?

Sprout is the original inventor of the plantable pencil and has protected its innovative concept through patents and other intellectual property rights in markets around the world.
