Growing instructions
Insert the cellulose mat
Put the cellulose mat in the biodegradable container.
Moisten the cellulose
Add about half a glass of water. The cellulose will absorb the water like a sponge. You’ve added enough water when the cellulose is a bit shiny and doesn’t show patterns any more.
Scatter the seeds evenly
Empty all 3 bags on the wet cellulose. Spread the seeds evenly over the surface.
Close the box
Close the lid for about 2-3 days. This puts the seeds in the dark and will allow them to germinate.
Water every day!
Open the lid
After about 3 days the seeds have germinated. They now have little roots and start to grow leaves. That’s the time to open the lid and let light in. The best spot is near a window. (Do not put it in direct sunlight, as that may dry out the young plants.)
Keep the cellulose moist
Don’t forget to keep the cellulose moist every day.
Growing plants are thirsty plants! :-)
Add about half a cup of water per day.
Enjoy your microgreens!
After about 6-10 days your microgreens will be ready! They will have leaves and are packed full of healthy nutrients.
Cut off the microgreens that you’d like to eat, and enjoy!
