Hello everyone, this is PlantsRobot in this video I'm covering five microgreens you must grow in your house microgreens are packed with nutrients and they're super easy to grow I'm just surprised not very many people actually grow microgreens in their house they're very easy to grow and they're delicious in salads.

Now let's cover those top five microgreens!

1 Sunflower

Microgreen sunflowers are the most popular microgreens in the market . First start with some sunflower seeds sunflower recieves are quite large in size as compared to other microgreens.

Add the sunflower seeds to a glass or container and then add water to soak the seeds for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the seeds are well hydrated . Add the seeds on top of the growing medium . Spread the seeds evenly with hands throughout the container, flatten out the surface with pieces of wood .

Do not cover the seeds with soil just place another container on top of the seeds to black out the seeds and put some weight on top it is very important to add weight on top so that the roots penetrate deep into the growing medium and the microgreens develop straight and tall after 2 days which is three days from the start uncover the container and the sunflower seeds develop shoots.

Keep watering every other day with a spray bottle after another two days the shoots are about an inch tall the container is growing very beautifully some uneven growth of sunflower is common there is absolutely no mold in this container and it is all because of coconut coir that retains moisture and absorbs any extra water and in turns prevents mold from growing place the container near an airflow or a draught from AC or heat vent proper air flow prevents mold as well.

After another two days, the shoots are about two to three inches tall . After another three days, the shoots are four inches tall and ready to harvest . The growth is straight smooth and healthy . Harvests the shoots with scissors or knife . Take the top three inches of shoots when harvesting . Look at these beautiful shoots I'm going to chop them up and add them to my salad.

2 Pea shoot

They are by far the easiest microgreens to grow if you want to get into growing microgreens, you should start with Pea shoot first, start with some pea seeds . Pea seeds are quite large in size as compared to other microgreens add the pea seeds to a glass or a container and then add water to soak the seeds for 24 hours.

After 24 hours the seeds are well hydrated add the seeds on top of the growing medium spread the seeds evenly with hands throughout the container at this point you can either add more growing medium on top of the seeds to cover and black out the seeds or you can use another plastic container on top of the seeds to black out the seeds as well I choose to cover my pea seeds with growing medium and then flatten out the surface with a piece of wood covering the seeds with growing medium works really well with peas. 

However, this is not true with other microgreens it's better to black out other microgreens with another flat or container after planting water of the container one more time.

After two days, the pea seeds will start to develop shoots keep watering every other day with a spray bottle after another two days shoots are about an inch tall after another two days the shoots are about two to three inches tall pea shoots are very easy to grow and unlike sunflower microgreens pea shoots are forgivable if you make few mistakes these shoots are not very particular about black out and applying a weight on top when growing although these practices help to have a uniform and consistent harvest.

After another three days the shoes are about five to six inches tall and ready to harvest the growth is straight smooth and healthy harvest the shoots with scissors or knife take about four inches of shoots when harvesting.

3 Radish

Radish microgreens are the fastest growing microgreens of all radish seeds are very small in size it is very easy to plant a lot of these seeds so be careful when planting. You do not have to pre-soak ready sous just sprinkle the seeds in the container and spread the seeds well leaving some gaps in the cluster of seeds cover the seeds with growing medium and flatten out the surface even if you don't cover the seeds that are ready seeds will grow really well what are the seeds well after planting.
