🥄 How to Plant Fenugreek Microgreen Seeds

Supplies Needed:

• Fenugreek seeds (organic is best)
• Shallow tray or container with drainage
• Seed-starting soil or cocopeat
• Spray bottle for watering
• Optional: cheesecloth or paper towel

Steps:

1. Soak Seeds
   • Soak 2–3 tablespoons of seeds in water for 6–8 hours (or overnight).
   • This speeds up germination.
2. Prepare Tray

   • Moisten the soil lightly (don’t overwater).
3. Sow Seeds
   • Spread the soaked seeds evenly over the soil surface.
   • Lightly press them into the soil, but don’t bury too deep.
4. Cover & Keep Moist
   • Cover with a thin layer of soil or damp paper towel for 2–3 days.
   • Keep the tray in a warm, indirect light location.
   • Mist twice a day to keep the soil damp.
5. Germination
   • Seeds sprout in 2–3 days.
   • Remove the cover once sprouts appear and give indirect sunlight.
6. Growth
   • Microgreens are ready to harvest in 7–10 days when they reach 2–4 inches tall.
   • Use scissors to cut above the soil level.
