How to grow China Rose Radish Microgreens :
Place a pan with holes in a pan without holes. Fill the pan without holes with 2.5 cm of fine-grained substrate. Compact the compost. Spread the China Rose Radish seeds evenly over the compost, leaving a little space between each seed. Press the seeds into the soil. Water the seeds and the soil. Place a tray without holes over the seeds and soil. Add about 4 pounds of weight to the tray to keep the seeds pressed into the soil.
After 3 – 4 days the China Rose microgreens will be pushing the tray with the weights in the air. Remove the weight tray. Water the microgreens from above. Place them under a light fixture, on a window sill or in a greenhouse light. When in the light, water each day by pouring water on the bottom until the 6th – 8th day.
Between days 6-8, collect all the microgreens using a sharp knife or scissors. Store the harvested microgreens in the refrigerator.
