When to plant Microgreen Seeds
Microgreen seeds can be sown indoors all year round, making them a great option for fresh, homegrown greens even in winter. For the best results, sow seeds every 1-2 weeks to ensure a continuous supply.

How to Plant Microgreen Seeds

Scatter seeds evenly over a shallow tray filled with fine compost or a specialist growing medium. Lightly press them into the soil and mist with water. Cover with a clear lid or plastic wrap to maintain humidity until germination occurs, usually within a few days. Place the tray in a bright location with indirect sunlight and keep the soil moist.

How long do Microgreen Seeds take to grow?

Microgreens grow quickly, with most varieties ready to harvest within 7-21 days after sowing. They are best harvested when the first true leaves appear by snipping them just above the soil line.

Why should I plant Microgreen Seeds?

Microgreens are packed with nutrients, offering intense flavours and vibrant colours that enhance salads, sandwiches, and garnishes. They are easy to grow, require minimal space, and provide a fast-growing, nutrient-rich food source. Growing your own microgreens ensures a fresh, pesticide-free harvest.

Where can I plant Microgreen Seeds?

Microgreens are ideal for indoor growing, requiring only a small space on a windowsill, countertop, or under grow lights. They can also be grown outdoors in warm weather, but controlled indoor conditions provide the best year-round results.
