Microgreens Basil
Sowing time: any time of the year
Sowing depth: on the top of the soil
Hydrate the substrate – Place a coconut fiber disc at the bottom of the container. Add water and let it expand into a soft, moist growing base.
Sow lightly – Sprinkle basil seeds sparsely and evenly over the surface.
Mist and cover – Lightly spray with water. Close the container loosely to retain humidity.
Germinate in the dark – Keep in a warm, dark place (20–25°C). Basil needs darkness to sprout.
Vent daily – Briefly open the lid each day to allow air circulation.
Uncover after sprouting – After 4–6 days, when most seeds have sprouted, place in bright but indirect light.
Harvest – Cut microgreens above the base once they reach 5–7 cm, typically after 12–16 days.
Microgreens Tendril Pea
Sowing time: any time of the year
Sowing depth: on the top of the soil
Hydrate the substrate – Place a coconut fiber disc at the bottom of the container. Add water and let it fully expand into soft, moist soil.
Sow thickly – Evenly scatter pea seeds over the surface.
Press gently – Lightly press the seeds into the moist substrate. Do not cover with more soil.
Close the lid – Keep the container loosely closed to maintain humidity. Open once a day for ventilation.
Mist daily – Keep the surface moist but not soggy.
Uncover after sprouting – After 2–3 days, when shoots appear, remove the lid and place in indirect light.
Harvest – Snip shoots above the base once they reach 8–10 cm, usually around day 8–10.
