Planting Instructions:
- Fill a shallow tray or container with a soilless growing medium, such as coconut coir or peat moss.
- Moisten the growing medium thoroughly with water until it is evenly damp but not waterlogged.
- Scatter Common Fenugreek seeds evenly over the surface of the growing medium. Aim for moderate coverage without overcrowding the seeds.
- Lightly press the seeds into the growing medium to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
- Cover the tray with a clear lid or plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect and retain moisture. Alternatively, use a humidity dome if available.
- Place the tray in a warm, well-lit location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Ideal temperatures for germination are between 70-75°F (21-24°C).
- Keep the growing medium consistently moist by misting with water as needed. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to fungal issues.
- Common Fenugreek microgreens typically germinate within 3-5 days. Once the seedlings emerge, remove the cover to promote air circulation.
- Continue to grow the microgreens until they reach the desired height, usually within 7-10 days. Harvest by cutting the stems just above the soil level when the first true leaves appear.
