Micro mint is a small, young version of the mint plant, prized for its strong flavor and aroma. It’s ideal for city gardeners because it can thrive in tiny spaces such as pots on balconies, rooftops, or sunny windowsills. This herb is perfect for adding a refreshing, minty touch to your culinary creations, making it a delightful and practical addition to your urban garden.

Growing micro mint in NYC is a smart choice for urban gardeners. It flourishes in small containers and hydroponic systems, which use water and nutrients to grow plants without soil. Micro mint pairs wonderfully with crops like arugula, basil, and microgreens, helping you make the most of limited space. Embrace the charm of fresh herbs at home and elevate your garden with this versatile and fragrant plant.

Microgreens prefer 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.

Microgreens are a cool weather crop and thrive in 60-75°F, ideally 65-70°F. They can be planted April through October. Plant year-round indoors, ensuring 65-70°F.

Indoors: Shallow tray, 1-2" deep or reuse plastic containers; Outdoors: 6" wide, 3-4" deep, 1 gallon

Microgreens prefer seed-starting mix or light, well-draining indoor potting soil, topped with a layer of worm castings.

Indoors, mix in bat guano or a balanced fertilizer to the soil before scattering seeds. Outdoors, fish emulsion can be added every 2 or 3 weeks.

Harvest microgreens by cutting just above the soil line at 1-3 inches tall. Frequent harvesting ensures a continuous supply of fresh, nutrient-packed greens.

Wilting: Water consistently.

Yellow Leaves or fungus gnats: Water less. Slow Growth: Use balanced fertilizer. Leggy Growth: Add more light. Diseases (Damping Off): Add a fan, use seed starting soil and/or top with worm castings.
