Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing red garnet mustard microgreen seeds is a straightforward and rewarding process, suitable for gardeners of all experience levels. To ensure a successful harvest, start with a shallow tray that has drainage holes, and fill it with a good quality seed-starting mix or coco coir. Moisten the growing medium thoroughly before sowing. Spread the brassica juncea seeds evenly across the surface, ensuring they are not too crowded, which can lead to damping-off. Lightly cover the seeds with a very thin layer of growing medium or simply press them gently into the surface. Some growers prefer to black out the seeds for a few days to encourage germination, by covering the tray with another tray or a dark cloth.

Once germinated, expose your red garnet mustard microgreen seeds to bright light for at least 12-16 hours a day. A south-facing window is often sufficient, but for optimal growth and vibrant color, especially the characteristic red stems, consider using a grow light. Maintain consistent moisture in the growing medium, watering gently from the bottom if possible to avoid disturbing the young seedlings. Overwatering can lead to fungal issues, so ensure good air circulation. The ideal temperature for growing these non-gmo sprouting seeds is between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Fertilization is generally not necessary as microgreens are harvested before they deplete the nutrients in the seed and growing medium. Harvest when the first set of true leaves begins to appear, typically 7-14 days after planting, by snipping them just above the soil line with clean scissors.
