How To Grow Micro Greens At Home

 Grow Micro Greens At Home



Among the easy and fast-growing crops, microgreens offer a plate of fresh flavors ranging from mild to spicy and encourage re-cultivation to provide fresh greens following creative uses. Here's how to grow microgreens indoors.


Seedlings of these young are grown in a tender condition for harvesting and are suitable for window gardening. They are ready for harvest and can have their stems cut off after two or three weeks of growth. Once grown, the microgreens will turn into young seedlings and then full-grown plants.


You need pot mix and bright light to grow microgreens indoors. The flavors are intense, like a full-grown plant, delicate.

How to do it


Dampen Soil


To begin to grow microorganisms indoors, remove the soil-free seed-starting mixture, which is a sterile medium designed to promote seed growth. Sprinkle warm water on the mix and mix well until moist.


Fill the containers



Fill each container with the seed-starting mixture in advance. It does not need to be packed - packing the container too tightly can lead to drainage problems. Set the container on the waterproof drip tray or saucer.



Spray the seeds


Sprinkle the seeds evenly over the surface of the mixture starting with the seeds so you can sow them thicker than usual. Leave at least 1/4 inch of space between the seeds.

Cover the seeds



Cover the seeds with vermiculite. This mineral-based substance absorbs water and releases it slowly, moisturizing the seeds but not too much moisture. Follow the instructions for planting to the depth provided in the seed pocket. Some seeds are rarely covered; Others need a thicker coating to germinate well (to germinate). Label planting.


Water


Soak the vermiculite without washing the seeds and pour water over the sown seeds with a gentle shower. Pour enough water to keep the seed starting mixture moist until the seeds germinate and the green shoots sprout from them. If the mixture is too wet, the seeds will fail to take root and grow.



Cover


To promote better growth of microorganisms indoors, cover containers with lightweight plastic or wiped lids to maintain moisture and promote germination. Set the drip tray on a hot plate designed for seed boot or heating pad.


Care of plants



When the seeds germinate, remove the lid and heat source. Place containers on the window sill to help your microgreens grow indoors. Keep medium moisture for planting and water from the bottom to promote healthy growth. Pour water on the plate and allow to soak in the soil-free mixture.


Harvest


To harvest microgreens, hold one part with one hand and cut with scissors on the other. Keep your microgreens cool and in an airtight container until you are ready to use them. Their shelf life in the refrigerator is one week.

Garden Plants Lighten Up with These Crisp White and Green Selections

Crisp White and Green Selections That Thrive in the Heat 1. The Rule of Three "Instead of a boxwood or other shrub, you can use containers to anchor a space or garden bed," says landscape designer Carmen Johnston of Bespoke Garden Plans in Thomaston, Georgia. What's the trick to making it work? When choosing your containers, choose three that are the same shape and material — one small, one medium, and one large. She chose 'Cora Cascade Polka Dot' vinca as the base for all the containers. In the second container, she brought in 'White Delight' caladiums and 'Lemon Twist' plectranthus for height. In the largest container, she filled the same plants with 'Kimberly Queen' ferns, 'Peppermint' strap-leaf caladiums, and creeping jennies for warm, summery color. These are low-maintenance choices because, as Johnston says, “they can handle intense heat and full sun.” 2. Garden Type “We don’t need to add flowers to create a beau...
