Product Bio

Garlic Chives will produce shoots that grow to a mature height of roughly 12 inches tall. Popularly used to flavor potatoes and salads, Chives are not only tasty but are also attractive. Each plant displays white colored flowers atop slender stems/shoots. Flowering much later than traditional Chives, its Garlic twin will bloom within the heat of the summer months. The shoots, once cut, will add a slight garlic & onion flavor to any dish that they are added to. The flowers also add a mild onion/garlic flavor and can be used as a garnish.

GROWING GUIDE FOR GARLIC CHIVES MICROGREEN SEEDS

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Take a flat shallow tray or a garden pot that is at least 4-5 inches deep.
Fill it with clean potting/garden soil mixed with some manure or vermicompost.
Spread the seeds evenly and densely on the soil surface and cover them with a thin layer of soil (or sand).
Allow the seeds to germinate for 3-4 days, keeping them in the shade.
Expose your seedlings to sunlight and air as and when most of them start to sprout from the soil surface.
Find a balcony or a kitchen spot that receives good sun and air.

GROWING REQUIREMENTS

SOIL
You can use fresh garden soil, cleaned of any impurities or pebbles. Microgreens also grow well in hydroponics. Mix the soil with 30% manure or vermicompost for better results.

SPOT
Microgreens need 4-5 hours of good sunlight. A bright sunny spot near a window or a kitchen shelf is an ideal one.

WATERING
Water this plant regularly without letting the soil dry out completely. Water should not splash on the tiny seeds directly. The soil is to be kept moist from the sides using a water spray or a can. Prefer watering your microgreens twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, depending on the room temperature.

HOW TO HARVEST
Microgreens are easy to grow, and the harvest gets ready in around 7-12 days.
The shoots can grow upto 3 inches long but can be harvested early according to your requirement.
Take a sharp pair of scissors or a knife and cut the shoots just above the soil surface carefully, without affecting the roots.
Make sure not to harvest your crop immediately after watering the plant. Keep the medium dry for 4-5 hours before the harvest.
Rinse the cut shoots with warm water and consume immediately for maximum benefits.
