In this project, I explain step-by-step how to grow microgreens at home.

Materials Needed

Seeds of one of the following plants: arugula, mustard, kale, basil, radish, lettuce, cilantro, chives Plastic container Seedling substrate or coconut fiber substrate

Tools Needed: Scissors, Knife (optional), Spray bottle

Steps Drainage 1- In a plastic container, using a hot knife or scissors, make holes for water drainage (the larger the container, the more holes will be needed).

Substrate Place a finger's width of substrate evenly throughout the container.

Sowing Spread the seeds generously throughout the substrate.

Cover the seeds Cover all the seeds evenly with a little substrate.

Final step

Place the container in a dark place and spray with the spray bottle once or twice a day.

Conclusion Once the sprouts have germinated, place the container in a well-lit location and harvest the microgreens with scissors when the sprouts are approximately 6 centimeters long.
