Steps of cultivation

1. Prepare growth medium and generously moisten the surface

2. Distribute seeds evenly and avoid partial accumulations, moisten

3. Cover and weigh down with any cover (e.g. a paving stone) 

4. Very long germination, it occurs in 7 - 14 days

5. Remove cover and transfer to aquaponics system 

6. After approx. 21 days, the ripe microgreens can be harvested 

7. The best time is when the microgreens are approx. 5 cm tall and the real leaves are small

8. Chives microgreens hold their seed coat tightly, which is usually located on the tip of the stalks. They are edible but can be removed with a gentle brush before harvesting if desired

9. Harvesting should take place in the morning or evening due to cooler temperatures
