Planting Instructions:
- Fill a shallow tray or container with pre-moistened potting mix or soilless growing medium, leveling it evenly.
- Scatter broccoli seeds evenly over the surface of the soil, aiming for about 10-20 seeds per square inch.
- Gently press the seeds into the soil using a flat surface to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
- Mist the soil surface with water to moisten the seeds and soil, then cover the tray with a clear lid or plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect.
- Place the tray in a warm, well-lit location, such as near a sunny window or under grow lights.
- Keep the soil consistently moist by misting with water as needed, avoiding overwatering to prevent mold or fungal growth.
- Calabrese Broccoli Microgreens will typically germinate within 3-7 days and can be harvested when the cotyledon leaves are fully developed, usually after 7-14 days.
