Growing Instructions

Instructions for Garden Kits

Microgreens are packed with nutrition and take 2-3 weeks to grow. There is no need to soak your microgreen seed paper before planting, 

Steps

1. Gather your materials. You will need:  

  • biodegradable pot (included) 
  • soil (included)
  • seed paper (included) 
  • spoon (included)
  • water
  • a plant dish or old container, to catch drainage.

Tip: You may want to cover your planting area with something you don’t mind getting dirty.

2. Add almost all of your soil to the biodegradable pot. Be mindful that there is a hole in the bottom of the pot for drainage. 

3. Place the seed paper on top of the soil.

4. Wet seed paper generously. 

5. Lightly sprinkle the rest of the soil on top of your seed paper. Do not cover your seed paper with too much soil. 

Tip: If there are any clumps of soil or sticks on top of your seedlings gently remove them. 

6. Top off your plant with water.

7. Find a sunny window to place your plant near. You can also place your plant in a room that you use the lights often or on a well covered balcony. 

8. Water your plant every 3-4 days allowing the water to drain out of the bottom of the pot. If the plant starts to wither, try bottom watering. Fill a dish bigger than the pot with water and set the pot in the dish. Leave for about 30 minutes. Remove pot from water and leave on a dish or tray to dry.

Tip: Do not leave your pot sitting in the water that has drained out of the hole in the bottom of your pot.

Enjoy the journey! 

Harvesting: Once the leaves on your sprouts have fully opened they are ready to harvest. They are ready to harvest between one to two weeks. To harvest you can pull the sprouts from the root or snip the sprouts about an inch down from the leaves. Wash and enjoy.
