Alfalfa Microgreen Seeds

Alfalfa microgreens are tiny, nutrient-packed sprouts from alfalfa seeds.

🥄 How to Plant Alfalfa Microgreens

You’ll need:

• Alfalfa seeds
• Shallow tray or container with drainage holes
• Growing medium: soil, coconut coir, or hydroponic mat
• Spray bottle for watering

Steps:

1. Soak seeds
   • Soak 1–2 tablespoons of seeds in water for 6–8 hours (or overnight) to start germination.
2. Prepare tray
   • Fill tray with 1–2 inches of soil or place your hydroponic mat.
3. Spread seeds
   • Drain soaked seeds and spread them evenly on top of the soil. Don’t bury them—just cover lightly if using soil.
4. Water gently
   • Mist with a spray bottle to moisten seeds without washing them away.
5. Cover
   • Optional: Cover tray with another tray or a lid to create darkness for the first 2–3 days (helps germination).
6. Light & water
   • Once sprouts appear (2–3 days), expose them to indirect sunlight or LED grow lights.
   • Mist 2–3 times daily to keep moist.
7. Harvest
   • Alfalfa microgreens are ready in 7–10 days, when they are about 2–3 inches tall.
   • Cut just above the soil line with scissors.
