How to Grow Broccoli Microgreens in Singapore
Waltham 29 broccoli microgreens can be grown indoors throughout the year in Singapore. For a standard 10 × 20 inch microgreen tray, approximately 25 grams of seed provides a useful starting sowing rate. For smaller home-growing trays, reduce the quantity proportionally and aim for even coverage without heavily overlapping the seeds.
- Prepare the tray.
Add approximately 3–4 cm of moist growing medium to a shallow tray. Soil, coir and purpose-made hemp growing mats are suitable options. - Sow evenly.
Spread the Waltham 29 seed evenly across the surface, avoiding heavy piles of overlapping seeds. - Mist and cover.
Moisten the seeds evenly, then cover or stack the tray during the initial germination period. - Maintain moisture.
Keep the growing medium evenly moist but not saturated. Germination commonly takes approximately 3–5 days. - Introduce light.
Once the seedlings are established and pushing upwards, uncover the tray and provide suitable natural or artificial growing light. - Harvest.
Broccoli microgreens are commonly ready approximately 8–14 days after sowing. Cut the stems cleanly just above the growing medium.
