Which Type of Microgreens Regrow After Cutting?

Posted on May 7, 2021

So you’ve purchased a bunch of microgreens from your health food store. The packaging says they are high in anti-oxidants, and that they can be used as a natural colon cleanser. You plant them in your garden, and within a week they start to sprout little green leaves. What are your options for growing microgreens after cutting them?

Like most perennial plants, the process of growing microgreens is one where they have to be weeded out every year, to ensure that there are no weeds in the seeds. You can actually skip this step and just use organic soil as an organic fertilizer, but this will depend on the particular micro green you’re growing. If it’s a weed, you’ll just remove it without taking any damage to the seeds.

Some people prefer not to do any of the work themselves once they start growing microgreens. Instead, they choose to let a professional landscape gardener do it for them. While this will obviously cost more, it’s usually a better option in the long run. A professional can also provide advice on how to make the process of planting microgreens easier, which will ultimately make it more successful.

If you’re growing microgreens for you, there are some things you can do that make the process a lot easier. One of these is cutting off the tops of the leaves and stems. Doing this will encourage the regrowth of roots. Another recommended tip is to make sure you don’t cut too deep into the roots, or else it may not survive the first year.

The first year after cutting off the top is when you’ll start to see new growth. This is what you’re looking for. Another benefit of cutting the microgreens away is that it will encourage new shoots to grow. You can easily tell whether or not your plants have actually grown by looking at the bottom of the plant. Should there be many stems sticking up instead of just one or two tiny plants, then it’s likely that the microgreen has been taken away. Cutting the roots as well as the top can also help prevent the plants from growing up in the wrong direction and compacting in on each other.

With the knowledge as to which microgreens regrow after cutting? You now know how important it is to do proper cutting. If you want healthy plants, then make sure they’re growing properly. Remember that microgreens are very fast growing plants, so they can easily overtake an entire garden in no time. It’s best to keep them contained and give them room to grow and develop naturally.
