Now it is very popular to eat vegetable seedlings, there are also called sprouts, their own vegetable seedlings also began to be popular. Because it's simple, clean, healthy, and cost-effective. Vegetable seedlings are sown indoors. The harvest period of vegetable seedlings is very short. After planting for one to two weeks, there will be harvest.

Which plants can grow seedlings? The most common vegetables are soybeans, mung beans, lettuce, spinach, kale, cabbage, watercress, beet, buckwheat, wheat grass and so on, which are very popular at present.

Planting vegetable seedlings is actually very simple, tools do not need a lot, just pay attention to the soil can not carry bacteria, to clean, water is also best to use filtered water. There are also certain rules for other lighting.

First of all, there should be two large shallow plates, which can hold more than one inch of soil. One tray must have drain holes and the other one without holes. In this way, the top has holes to put soil, and the bottom is to receive excess water. Of course, the lower plate should not always have water, so as not to flow back to the upper plate.

The soil for planting vegetable seedlings, it is best to use organic potting soil organic potting soil, if you can not buy this kind of potting soil, you can use general potting soil. But if you're worried, put the potting soil in an oven at 85-95 degrees Celsius for about 45 minutes.

Generally speaking, relatively large seeds, it is best to plant with soil, finer seeds, you can use river sand or hydroponics. Seeds need a certain temperature to germinate, and the average temperature of cultivation is above 20 degrees Celsius.

Plants need very bright light to germinate, and if your room doesn't have a lot of windows, it may have to be lit, and you can install light pipes suitable for plant growth.

If soil is used, it must be treated potting soil, organic soil specially prepared for vegetable seedlings. This kind of mold does not have to worry about.

Seeds for vegetable seedlings are usually bought in large quantities, so they are usually purchased at vegetable seedling stores, and they are all by the pound or kilogram. Of course, many people buy online.

Seeds used for planting micro-vegetable seedlings are special seeds, which have not been used with disinfectants or pesticides, or have been treated with preservatives. Do not buy them anywhere.

Some seeds need to be soaked to germinate. This category includes beans, wheat, buckwheat, corn, sugar beet, and sunflower. Soak for 10 to 15 hours or overnight. Water temperature is generally room temperature,(about three cups of cold water, add two cups of boiling water temperature.)

Fill a perforated tray with soil about 3 cm thick, the organic planting soil mentioned above. The soil should have been moistened. Then use something like a plank to compact the soil.

After that, put the seeds on the soil surface. It takes a lot of seeds to plant the seedlings, so don't be afraid to plant them heavily. Almost every seed is next to each other, but avoid overlapping the seeds, and then compact them slightly.

For the first 2-3 days of planting, in order to allow the seeds to germinate, keep them dark (imitating the seeds in the soil), spread a black cloth or wet newspaper on top, or cover them with another pot (leaving enough gaps for ventilation). After three days, it should be opened, and then gradually increase the light, and then a lot of light. But remember, 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness at night.

You can also cover the soil with a thin layer of soil after sprinkling seeds, also to keep it dark. After that, the soil surface is lightly sprinkled. In order to keep the soil surface moist, water is sprinkled twice to three times a day on average.

Harvesting is simple, as long as a clean knife or scissors, the seedlings will be cut from the base can be. It is best to eat the seedlings immediately after cutting, so how much to eat, how much to cut, the rest can continue to spray water, can also be put into the refrigerator.

Some micro-vegetable seedlings can be planted a second time, or even a third time. However, the finished product of the second time or more is not as delicious as the first time, the volume is also relatively small, and the nutrients are also poor.

Plants with larger seeds, such as sunflowers, must be harvested early, not too long, or their stems will lignify. Harvest takes about 7-10 days.

Most tap water tends to be alkaline or contains too many added minerals, so it is best to leave it empty for one day. In addition, vegetable seedlings like acidic soil, pH value is about 6.0, if you have doubts, you can use for example pH value you can also test the soil, see if it is too alkaline, but these need a soil or water pH test kit.
