What’s in Your Kit
- Reusable grow trays (2)
- Compostable coconut coir pads (4)
- Microgreen seeds (variety may vary)
- Spray bottle
You’ll need: clean water, scissors, and a sunny window or grow light.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Place desired number of coconut coir pads in a bowl of hot water overnight to soak and soften.
- Place one soaked pad flat in each tray.
- Seed Sprinkle seeds evenly across the pad. Don’t overcrowd—aim for a single layer of seeds. You can used clean fingers to spread the seeds if needed.
- Mist & Cover Using the spray bottle provided, fill with water and mist the seeds until damp, then cover with a lid or another tray to block light. Uncover and mist seeds twice a day (morning and night) to keep them moist. They will begin to germinate and grow. Continue to mist and re-cover the seeds for 3-4 days to encourage germination.
- Uncover & Light Once seeds sprout, and microgreens reach about 1"-1 1/2" tall, remove the cover, flip it upside down and sit the tray of microgreens inside. Place the tray in indirect sunlight or under a grow light. Add water to the bottom tray to allow the roots to soak up water.
- Grow Over the next 5–10 days, your microgreens will grow quickly. Keep watering regularly - twice a day. If the water has not been absorbed yet, it's ok not to add more water.
- Harvest When microgreens are 2–3 inches tall and their first true leaves have opened, harvest by snipping with clean scissors just above the roots. This will take 9-13 days.
Tips for Success
Harvest just before eating for best flavor.
Living trays last longer than cut greens—keep them on the counter or in a bright spot.
For mold prevention: don’t overwater, and keep trays in a spot with good airflow..
Broccoli, Salad Mix, & Radish grow in about 10 days.
Leek grows in about 12-14 days.
FAQs
- Can I reuse the coir pad? No, compost it after use. Replace with a fresh pad for the next crop.
- Do microgreens regrow after cutting? Some, like peas, may regrow
once—but most are one harvest only. - How long will my harvested greens last?
3-4 days refrigerated in a sealed container. It is ideal to harvest as you go rather than harvesting all at once.
