Steps of cultivation
- If you soak the seeds, place them in a bowl of plain water for 12-24 hours
- Prepare growth medium and generously moisten the surface
- Distribute seeds evenly and avoid partial accumulations, coriander requires a lot of space, approx. seeds per cm²
- Moisten the seeds extensively with a water sprayer
- Cover with any cover and weigh down (e.g. two baking stones), store in a dark place
- Germination occurs in 2 - 6 days
- Remove cover and transfer to aquaponics system. After 10 to 20 days, the mature microgreens can be harvested
- Harvesting should take place in the morning or evening due to cooler temperatures
