Spinach Microgreen Seeds

🌱 Spinach microgreens are nutrient-packed and relatively easy to grow at home.

🌿 How to Plant Spinach Microgreens

What you need:

• Spinach microgreen seeds
• Shallow tray or container with drainage holes
• Seed-starting soil/coconut coir (well-draining, fine texture)
• Spray bottle for misting
• Light source (sunny window or grow light)

Steps:

1. Prepare the tray
   • Fill your tray with 1–2 inches of moist soil or coconut coir.
   • Gently press and level the surface.
2. Sow the seeds
   • Scatter spinach microgreen seeds evenly across the surface.
   • Spinach seeds are a bit larger than some other microgreen seeds, so don’t overcrowd.
3. Cover lightly
   • Sprinkle a very thin layer of soil on top (optional, since spinach likes a bit of cover).
   • Mist with water until evenly moist.
4. Germination (2–5 days)
   • Keep tray in a dark, warm place until seeds sprout.
   • Cover with another tray/lid to maintain humidity.
   • Mist daily to keep soil moist (not soggy).
5. Growing (7–14 days)
   • Once sprouted, place tray near sunlight or under a grow light.
   • Continue misting daily.
   • Spinach microgreens are usually ready to harvest when they are 2–4 inches tall, with 2–3 sets of leaves.
6. Harvest
   • Cut the greens just above soil level with clean scissors.
   • Wash gently before eating.
