Microgreens advantages
THAT LITTLE BIT EXTRA
Even a small amount of home-grown microgreens will add a whole new dimension to your culinary world. The taste and aroma that come from one of the selected plants will delight you and your family and friends.
DAILY RESULTS, WEEKLY HARVEST
The prepared microgreens pads are designed so that you can easily control your daily microgreens requirements. Thanks to a special formula, they deliver powerful results after just 5-8 days, which can be harvested daily.
ALL ADVANTAGES - CONCENTRATED AND MULTIPLIED
Microgreens offer a much higher nutrient density than their full-grown counterparts. They are undoubtedly the tastiest way to effortlessly boost your health.
SUSTAINABLE AND NATURAL - HEMP-LINEN MAT
Our new substrate mats made from hemp linen are a real game changer! Made from 100% natural materials, they offer an environmentally friendly alternative for growing your microgreens. No artificial additives and completely biodegradable - only the best for you and your little plant babies. Make your cultivation even greener!
The advantages of microgreens are plenty.
As microgreens are basically seedlings, sprouts and young plants of various edible vegetables, they have a much higher concentration of nutrients and vitamins than full-grown plants. They therefore contain everything the plant needs to enable it to grow vigorously.
They are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients that are important for a healthy and balanced diet. They can also help to reduce the risk of certain diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Any more questions?
For the successful growth of your nutrient-rich Microgreens you need a Microgreens tray for the GreenBox - available separately.
In our app and on the packaging you will find detailed instructions for planting, watering and harvesting your microgreens.
We focus on supplying only the best and purest products to our green family. The seeds in the microgreens sets are certified organic and GMO-free.
Watering is particularly easy with our new hemp-linen substrate. Check the moisture level of the substrate every 1-2 days and add water if necessary to keep it evenly moist. The hemp-linen substrate stores water optimally and ensures even growth. You can harvest and enjoy your microgreens after just 5-9 days. Make sure to distribute the water carefully and evenly to achieve the best results.
Rest assured - that's not it! What you see are small root hairs, which are a sign of healthy plant growth.
Root hairs help the plant to absorb water and nutrients better and occur particularly in the moist environment of the substrate. If it still smells musty or another sticky substance forms, please check the ventilation and water to make sure everything is running optimally.
Yes, my green padawan! Thanks to the modular design of the GreenBox, you can easily combine microgreens and PlantPlugs. With the microgreens insert on one side, there is enough space to grow four PlantPlugs of your choice on the other half. Perfect for a versatile harvest in your smart garden!
Each plant has different germination and growth phases, which can lead to an uneven plant height. However, there is no need to worry - the taller and faster microgreens will not negatively affect the smaller ones. To achieve optimal results, pay attention to this:
1. water the pads evenly from above the first time so that all the seeds are moist.
2. keep the pads under the supplied cultivation cover for the first two days (germination phase).
3. keep the pads evenly moist throughout the growing period.
4. uniform lighting - thanks to the GreenBox!
As soon as your microgreens are ready (after about 5-9 days), take a square from the microgreens tray and cut the plants directly above the substrate with sharp scissors or a small kitchen knife.
For the best taste and the highest nutrient content, we recommend harvesting the microgreens directly before consumption. This keeps the vitamins and minerals fresh and complete.
Yes, our hemp linen pads are completely biodegradable and can be disposed of either in organic waste or in a composter. This way you can easily return them to the natural nutrient cycle - sustainable and environmentally friendly!
Of course! You can combine the pads with different varieties. This way, one variety grows on each pad and you can still enjoy a diverse selection of microgreens. Perfect for a varied harvest!
The GreenBox offers space for up to 12 microgreens pads if you equip both sides with one microgreens insert each. You can grow 6 pads in parallel with one insert. Perfect for covering your need for fresh, healthy microgreens!
