Posted on May 13, 2021

Want to grow microgreens but are unsure where to start? Microgreen plants are easier to grow than most plants, and also produce more than your other plants. With so many types of microgreens out there, you are bound to find an easy kit for growing them in your home. The easiest way to go about growing your microgreens is to buy a quality easy kit that comes with everything you need. This will save you time and money and you will have more time to focus on growing great tasting plants.

When you look for easy growing microgreens, you need to keep in mind that they come in a wide variety of colors. In order to find a good easy growing microgreens planting kit, you want one that has brightly colored seedlings. Your plants will be more visible when they grow in the dark and can usually be seen better beneath a light. Try to find a kit that has plastic or metal pots rather than glass or ceramic pots as these have been proven to make your plants more visible to birds and other animals.

Easy microgreens planting kits should also contain some type of fertilizer. Some microgreens don’t require any fertilizer at all and have excellent root systems. You can find microgreens planting kits that have different fertilizers designed for different kinds of plants, so take a look and see what is best for your plants. The last thing you want to do is give your plants too much fertilizer and then they won’t have any space to grow and thrive.

There are two popular methods of planting microgreens. The first is known as netting where the plants are planted on strips of netting that is placed around the plant’s roots. The other method is called stake planting where the micro green plant is planted directly into a small platform or pot. These two methods can be used together with the right kind of microgreens planting kit. Most kits contain the microgreens seeds and microgreens can be bought online or in garden stores.

Easy microgreens planting kit will include the seeds, a pot and microgreens to help you get started. The pots can be either bottomed or stand alone and can be found online or at your local garden store. Once you’ve selected the plants that you want, put the tiny seeds into the pots and water them in until the seed starts to sprout. Make sure the water is well-maintained and that the soil is not too hard or clayy when watering your plants.

Some plants like taller plants. Try to avoid planting microgreens next to taller plants. You don’t have to, however, and there are some plants that grow well with taller plants. Lantana and Oleum Nigrum are two great examples. The key to success with these plants is to remember that they love getting a lot of sunlight, so try to place them in areas of your yard where they can get the sunlight they need. Lantana and Oleum Nigrum is ideal plants for microgreens planting because they are very hardy and able to handle large amounts of sunlight.

There is also an easy way to keep your plants healthy, and that’s by providing them with fertilizer. Fertilizer can be purchased separately, but it would be easier to buy them in the easy microgreens planting kit, because then you can be sure the fertilizer is what your plants need. Fertilizer should be applied once per week during the growing season and after the last frost. If the weather is really dry, wait until the next day and reapply fertilizer.

There are many other plants that are suitable for successful microgreens planting, including California Poppies, Papaver somniferum, and Sedum Nutgrass. Some of the plants you might not have thought of as good choices for your backyard garden include Dogbane, Queen Anne’s lace, Mimosa, and Royal Antique. The trick is to look at what plants are good for other types of gardens, such as containers, and then try and incorporate those plants into your microgreens planting system. When you’ve come up with a good plan, then you can go out into your yard and start planting.
