🥬 Microgreens Growing Kit: Step-by-Step Instructions

This kit makes it easy to grow fresh, nutrient-packed greens right on your windowsill!

Starting Your Seeds

1. Prepare the Medium: Place your chosen growing medium (such as peat, rockwool, or coco noir) into the base of the kit.

2. Sow Seeds: Sprinkle a thin, dense layer of microgreen seeds onto the surface of the medium. Use approximately one tablespoon of seeds, adjusting density based on the specific greens you are growing.

3. Darkness Period: Lightly mist or water the medium until moist. Secure the lid to create a blackout environment, which encourages fast, even germination. Keep the kit covered for 2–4 days, or until the sprouts begin pushing against the lid.

4. Introduce Light: Remove the lid and place the kit in a location with bright, indirect light (like a sunny windowsill). Use the inch marks on the lid to track your growth progress.

Harvesting & Care

• Harvesting: Cut the stems just above the medium level when the greens reach the desired height, typically 2-3 inches.

• Plant-Safe Material: The kit is made from a durable, plant-based material (PLA).

Cleaning & Longevity (Critical Safety)

• Hand Wash Only: Do not place the kit in the dishwasher, as the high heat will cause the material to melt and warp.

• Sanitization: To ensure food safety between batches, wash the kit thoroughly by hand with warm water and mild soap. For an extra clean, you may sanitize by wiping with rubbing alcohol or a diluted food-grade hydrogen peroxide solution.

• Heat Warning: Avoid placing the kit in locations that receive excessive, magnified heat (such as near a radiator or inside a hot, enclosed vehicle).
