Micro Mint prefers 4-6 hours of direct sunlight.
Indoors: Grow in shallow trays with bright light or hydroponically using grow lights for 10-12 hours.
Mist regularly to keep the soil surface moist. Indoors, air can dry soil quickly; outdoors, mist more frequently during hot weather.
Micro mint is a cool weather crop and thrives in 60-75°F, ideally 65-70°F. Plant year-round indoors, ensuring 65-70°F.
Indoors: Shallow tray, 1-2" deep.
Outdoors: 6" wide, 3-4" deep, 1 gallon
Micro mint prefers seed-starting mix or light, well-draining mix, enriched with compost from vegetable peelings or garden compost.
Apply diluted balanced fertilizer (half strength) every 1-2 weeks.
Organic Options: diluted fish emulsion, seaweed extract. Consistent, light feeding supports vigorous growth.
I grow microgreens because they are efficient and my go to during the winter months. They provide a massive return on investment, especially since a tiny container at the store can cost a fortune. I love how they grow so quickly and they are ready to eat in in a week or two from planting. Growing microgreens in the winter scratches my itch to be gardening at all times. It is the easiest way to keep my kitchen stocked with vibrant, healthy greens all year round.
Microgreens are harvested at the seedling stage, when nutrient concentrations are often significantly higher than in mature plants. Studies have shown they can contain dramatically elevated levels of Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and polyphenols, plant compounds that help fight oxidative stress. Because they grow quickly and require little space, they are one of the easiest ways to increase nutrient density in an urban diet.
Quick: 1-3 Weeks
Microgreens can contain up to 40 times more concentrated nutrients, like Vitamin E and polyphenols, than their full-grown counterparts.
