Botanical Interests Mild Mix Microgreens Seeds

The varieties in this custom mix will all be the perfect size at the same time. Mild Mix microgreens can be grown indoors at any time of year and are a nutrient-packed way to get your "green fix" in winter. Move containers as needed for best light exposure and temperature (65°-75°F). Microgreens are ready to harvest in about 5 to 10 Days after sowing, when they have cotyledons (first leaves) or when the first true leaves (second set of leaves) have begun to form, depending on preference.

Growing

Harvesting

When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have cotyledons or when the first true leaves have begun to form, depending on preference. Cool growing temperatures may slow the expected amount of Days To Maturity. Using scissors, cut microgreens just above the soil line when you are ready to use them.
