Growing Instructions
- Sow Rate: Use 2.5 – 3.5 grams of seeds per small, punnet-sized growing tray.
- Pre-soak: No pre-soaking is needed for Cress Curled seeds.
- Planting: Fill your tray with 3 – 4 cm of soil, then flatten and moisten the surface. Sprinkle the seeds evenly, pressing them gently to ensure good soil contact. Alternatively, these microgreens can also be grown hydroponically.
- Germination: Cover the seeds with a tray lid and place them in a dark, well-ventilated area. Lightly water once or twice daily, keeping the tray covered for the first 2 – 3 days to support germination.
- Light Exposure: Once germinated, uncover the tray and place it in indirect light. Continue watering 1 – 2 times daily, ensuring the soil or grow medium remains consistently moist but not overly wet.
- Harvest: Ready to harvest in about 5 – 10 days, Cress Curled microgreens can be cut just above the soil level once the first true leaves appear.
