DISCOVER THE NATURE AS A FAMILY
For those who have children at home, we wanted the CitySens shelf to be a space to enjoy with family.
With the plants we introduce the little ones to different aspects of education and work: for one point, they enter the practical life. But what also María Montessori emphasised is that we sow, followed by observing the plants evolution. We develop the sensory, cognitive and fine motor area.

CARLA PEÑA EDUCATIONAL MANUAL @EARLYCHILDFOOD
The kit includes 6 easy-to-grow flower seeds, pots, substrate and the guide.
The guide edited by @Earlychildfood contains:
- Step by step illustrations to assemble and sow (with color and without for children to color).
- Introduction of different activities step by step, in order for families to learn how to present the materials through the Montessori methodology. This would go with the theoretical introduction of the importance of the practical life area and activities that the child from 1 to 6 years old can do related to the care of the plants.
- Cards with plant parts: a cut-out inside the activity guide to see the seed, root, plant, leaves, petals...
- Introduction about the importance of treating insects with respect. Raising awareness by example of the danger of extinction of bees - and relocating the activity to the outside with a family expedition in which the value of teamwork, perseverance and patience to observe is stressed.

SOWING INSTRUCTIONS
To plant the seeds correctly you must follow the following steps.
1. Place 1 litre of water in a container, immerse the compressed earth tablets and wait for them to hydrate. Each tablet will increase in volume by 3 to 4 times its initial size, indicating that it is ready to be used as farmland.
2. Set the pots found in the educational kit.
3. Empty the hydrated soil inside the sowing bag.
4. Place between 10 and 20 seeds in each pot and cover them with a 1 cm layer of substrate.
5. Repeat this process for each pot and each plant.
6. Place the pots in the planters on your CitySens shelf.

IRRIGATION TIPS
- During the germination of the seed.
We recommend to program the automatic irrigation 2 times a week for 2 minutes each watering. The substrate must be moist, without being wet or dry before the next irrigation. Irrigation needs may vary depending on the temperature and light your CitySens garden receives. The more light and temperature the plants receive, the more irrigation is needed. During germination the plant does not need many nutrients: 10 ml of Citysens nutrients for every 5 L of water.
- During the growth of the plant
As the plant grows, water consumption increases, so you must be aware that the substrate remains moist, never soaked or dry. Watering twice a week for 2 minutes may still be adequate, although you can increase watering if necessary. Remember that for small plants, excess irrigation is just as dangerous as a lack of irrigation. With adult plants, excessive watering is more dangerous because it rots the roots and kills the plant. For adult plants the consumption of nutrients increases: add 20 ml of nutrients per 5L of water when filling the tank.
