Growing Instructions
- Sow Rate: Use 2.5 – 3.5 grams of seeds per small, punnet-sized growing tray.
- Pre-soak: No pre-soaking is required for Kohlrabi seeds.
- Planting: Add 3 – 4 cm of soil to your tray, then flatten and moisten the surface. Sprinkle the seeds evenly, pressing gently to ensure contact with the soil. Alternatively, you can grow these microgreens hydroponically.
- Germination: Cover the seeds with a tray lid and place them in a well-ventilated, dark area. Lightly water 1 – 2 times daily, keeping the tray covered for the first 2 – 3 days to support germination.
- Light Exposure: After germination, remove the cover and place the tray in indirect light. Continue watering 1 – 2 times daily to keep the soil or grow medium moist but not overly wet.
- Harvest: Ready in approximately 8 – 12 days, these microgreens can be harvested by cutting just above the soil level once the first true leaves appear.
Quick Tips for Growing Success
Maintain even moisture throughout the growing period, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent wilting. Kohlrabi microgreens grow well in both soil and hydroponic setups, so you can choose the method that best suits your space and resources.
