Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing organic broccoli microgreen seeds is a straightforward and rewarding process. For optimal results, start with shallow trays with drainage holes. Fill trays with a thin layer (1-2 inches) of sterile, fine-textured potting mix or a specialized microgreen growing medium. Lightly moisten the soil before sowing. Evenly scatter the heirloom sprouting seeds across the surface of the soil, aiming for a dense but not overlapping spread. Gently mist the seeds with water and cover the tray with another tray or a dome for 2-3 days to create a humid environment that encourages germination.

Once seeds have germinated, typically within 2-3 days, remove the cover and expose them to light. Broccoli microgreens thrive under bright, indirect light or grow lights for 12-16 hours a day. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; bottom watering or misting gently is recommended to avoid disturbing the young seedlings. Maintain a consistent room temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Fertilization is generally not required for microgreens as they utilize the nutrients stored within the seed. Harvest when the microgreens are 1-2 inches tall and have developed their first true leaves, usually 7-14 days after planting, by snipping them just above the soil line with clean scissors. Enjoy your fresh non-gmo microgreens immediately for the best flavor and nutritional value.
