Once the fire seed had been placed on top of the soil, Ira looked in her journal for further instructions:
SPOILER!!: Ira's Journal
Planting Fire Seeds
1. Charm pot to heat itself.
2. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up.
3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil.
4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it).
5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it.

For boiling water, add water (via aguamenti) to the watering can and heat it. This will ensure you 1. control the temperature and 2. don't over water your seed. Use a VERY small amount, simply enough to moisten the soil.


Oh! More soil. Ira had brought only little soil last time. So that meant she'd have to go again and dig and bring some more.

Sighing inwardly, she made her way to the front, collected a shovel and bucket again and dug up some soil and collected it in her bucket. She brought it to where her pot was and poured the soil on top of the seed, taking care that it was completely covered.

Then gently patted the top of the soil. Not too hard, not too soft.

Then she updated her journal:
