How to Use Microgreens Tray
Setup
- Wash the tray before first use.
- Place the mesh tray on top of the water base.
- Add clean water to the lower tray.
- Keep water below the seed level so seeds stay moist but not fully drowned.
Sowing
- Use clean microgreens seeds for best results.
- Soak larger seeds if needed before sowing.
- Spread seeds evenly on the mesh tray.
- Avoid overcrowding, as thick seed layers can smell or rot.
- Keep seeds in a single even layer where possible.
Sunlight
- Keep the tray in bright indirect light after seeds start growing.
- A kitchen window, balcony corner, or bright shelf works well.
- Avoid strong direct afternoon sun, especially in hot weather.
- Keep airflow around the tray to reduce smell and fungus risk.
Watering
- Refresh or change the water daily.
- Keep the seed area moist, but avoid waterlogging.
- Rinse gently if seeds become sticky.
- Remove excess water if it starts touching the seed surface for too long.
Harvesting
- Harvest when the microgreens reach the desired height.
- Cut with clean scissors above the root area.
- Wash greens before use.
- Remove leftover roots and seed waste after harvest.
