• Scatter seeds evenly across the surface and gently press them into the growing medium.
• Keep the seeds consistently moist during germination, using gentle watering or misting to avoid disturbing them.
• Once seedlings emerge, provide plenty of bright light to encourage sturdy growth and vibrant stem colour.
• Water as needed to keep the growing medium moist but not saturated, with bottom watering preferred once seedlings are established.
• Harvest with clean scissors just above the growing medium once the microgreens have reached the desired size.
