Growing Information:

• Planting Instructions:
  • Sow Directly: Sow the seeds thickly in trays, covering with a thin layer of soil. Press down lightly to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Spacing: Since microgreens grow densely, no need for wide spacing; just sprinkle the seeds evenly across the growing medium.
  • Light Requirements: Place the trays in a bright area or under grow lights to ensure optimal growth. While direct sunlight is ideal, Daikon radish microgreens will thrive under artificial light as well.
• Soil Requirements: Use a loose, well-draining growing medium, such as organic potting soil or a specialized microgreen mix. These microgreens don’t require deep soil.
• Watering Needs: Water lightly after planting to keep the soil moist but not soaked. Once the seeds have sprouted, continue to water lightly, ensuring the growing medium stays moist. Mist regularly to maintain humidity levels.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures for Daikon radish microgreens are between 60°F and 75°F (15°C - 24°C). These microgreens thrive in moderate temperatures.

Care Tips:

1. Light: Ensure they get 4-6 hours of light each day, whether natural or from grow lights, to promote strong, healthy growth.
2. Watering: Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to mold growth. Ensure proper drainage and avoid pooling water.
3. Air Circulation: Good airflow is essential to prevent mold or mildew. If growing in a container, ensure the space has proper ventilation.
4. Harvesting: Harvest when the microgreens have developed their first set of leaves (cotyledons) and are around 2–3 inches tall. You can use scissors to cut the stems just above the soil line.

• Fast-Growing: Daikon radish microgreens grow quickly, often ready for harvest in as little as 7–10 days, making them a great choice for gardeners looking for a fast turnaround.
