Plant Care & Growing Tips

Cultivating your basic salad mix microgreen seeds is a straightforward and rewarding process. To ensure a successful harvest, attention to a few key details will make all the difference. Start by selecting a shallow tray with drainage holes and fill it with about 1-2 inches of a good quality, fine-textured growing medium, such as a seed starting mix or coco coir. Lightly moisten the soil before sowing. Evenly scatter your heirloom microgreen seeds across the surface of the soil, aiming for a dense but not overlapping distribution. Gently press the seeds into the soil, but do not cover them with a thick layer of soil, as microgreens generally prefer light for germination.

After sowing, lightly mist the seeds with water to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Cover the tray with a dome or another tray to create a humid environment, which aids germination. Keep the tray in a warm spot, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Once germination occurs, typically within 2-5 days, remove the cover and expose the seedlings to light. For optimal growth, provide 12-16 hours of bright light daily. A south-facing window can work, but a grow light will yield the best results, preventing leggy growth. Water from the bottom to avoid disturbing the delicate seedlings; place the tray in a larger tray filled with about an inch of water for 10-15 minutes, allowing the soil to absorb moisture. Harvest your basic salad mix microgreen seeds when the first true leaves appear, usually 7-14 days after sowing, by snipping them just above the soil line with clean scissors. This method allows you to grow your own microgreens efficiently and enjoy fresh, tender greens regularly.
