Germination tips for microgreens
- •Do not pre-soak — amaranthus seeds are very small and over-watering causes clumping.
- •Use a fine mist spray to water; heavy watering washes small seeds to one corner.
- •Blackout phase of 3–4 days is critical for even germination and stem elongation.
- •Maintain temperature of 22–28°C for best germination; avoid cold drafts.
- •The vivid red-purple colour deepens with more light exposure — place near a south-facing window.
- •Harvest before true leaves appear for best flavour and texture.
- •Store unused seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 2 years.
