Step-by-Step Growing Guide
Choose Your Seeds
Select from these popular beginner-friendly options:
Prepare Your Tray
Fill your grow tray with a thin layer (about 1-2 inches) of pre-moistened potting soil or coco coir. Ensure your tray has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Plant the Seeds
Spread seeds evenly across the surface of your growing medium. For most varieties, you'll want about 10-12 seeds per square inch. Gently press the seeds into the soil without burying them completely.
Water & Cover
Lightly mist the seeds with water using a spray bottle. Cover your tray with another tray or plastic dome to create a humid environment. This encourages germination. Keep covered for 2-3 days.
Let the Light In
After sprouting, remove the cover and place your tray in a spot with plenty of natural light. A south-facing window is ideal, or you can use grow lights if natural light is limited.
Harvest & Enjoy
In about 7-14 days (depending on variety), your microgreens will be ready to harvest! Use clean scissors to cut them just above the soil line. Rinse if needed and enjoy immediately for maximum nutrition.
Pro Tip
Microgreens grow best at room temperature (65-75°F) with consistent moisture – don't let the soil dry out. Water from below by pouring water into the tray rather than overhead to prevent mold and disturbance to the delicate plants.
