🏡 How to Grow Microgreens at Home (The Easy Way!)
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Here’s what you need to start your microgreen mini farm:
✔️ Microgreen seeds (Sunflower, Radish, Broccoli, Pea Shoots—whatever you love!) ✔️ Maya’s General Mix – a perfectly balanced growing medium that holds moisture and nutrients for happy greens. ✔️ Shallow tray or container (a takeout container with holes works too!) ✔️ Spray bottle (for gentle watering) ✔️ Light source (a sunny window or LED grow light)
Step 2: Plant Your Microgreens
1️⃣ Fill your tray with Maya’s General Mix, about an inch deep. It’s organic, nutrient-rich, and gives your microgreens the perfect environment to thrive. 2️⃣ Sprinkle seeds evenly across the surface—no need to bury them! Just a light press so they make good contact. 3️⃣ Mist with water to keep them moist (but not soaking wet). 4️⃣ Cover your tray with a lid or another tray for the first 2-3 days to help germination.
Step 3: Watch Them Grow!
🌱 Day 3-4: Your little greens will start sprouting—remove the cover and place them in the light! 💧 Water lightly once or twice a day using your spray bottle. ☀️ Let them soak up the light and turn a vibrant green.
Step 4: Harvest & Enjoy!
🔪 Around Day 7-10, grab some scissors and snip your microgreens just above the soil line. 🥗 Rinse gently and enjoy them fresh!
