    Steps of cultivation

    1. If you soak the seeds, place them in a bowl of plain water for 12-24 hours 

    2. Prepare growth medium and generously moisten the surface

    3. Distribute seeds evenly and avoid partial accumulations, coriander requires a lot of space, approx. seeds per cm² 

    4. Moisten the seeds extensively with a water sprayer 

    5. Cover with any cover and weigh down (e.g. two baking stones), store in a dark place  

    6. Germination occurs in 2 - 6 days

    7. Remove cover and transfer to aquaponics system. After 10 to 20 days, the mature microgreens can be harvested 

    8. Harvesting should take place in the morning or evening due to cooler temperatures
