How To Look After Your Beanstalk
🌞 Sunlight – Place your pot somewhere bright and warm.
💧 Water – Keep the soil damp, but not too wet.
🪴 Repot – Move to a bigger pot when it’s 10–15cm tall.
📏 Support – Use a stick, cane or string to help it climb.
Yes – It Grows Real Beans!
✨ Your plant will grow edible beans later this summer.
🌸 Some grow red or white flowers.
🫘 Others produce purple beans that turn green when cooked!
👉 The more you pick and eat, the more your plant will grow!
Send us pictures of your beans growing throughout summer, using #QTHBeanstalk. We’ll share them on our socials and your screens!
📧 Don’t forget to book your panto tickets early for the best seats. Jack and the Beanstalk opens 19 November.
