How To Grow & Harvest Broccoli
1. Preparation
- Choose a shallow tray with drainage holes (20 cm × 20 cm works well).
- Fill with 3–4 cm of quality seed-raising mix, coir, or fine compost.
- Lightly press the surface to make a level seed bed.
- Moisten the medium so it’s damp but not waterlogged.
2. Seeding
- No pre-soaking is required for broccoli.
- Spread seeds evenly across the surface at about 8–10 g per 20 cm tray.
- Mist the seeds gently, then cover with a lid/tray or propagation dome.
3. Germination
- Keep trays out of the sun for the first 3 days.
- From days four and on, place your trays in a well lite sunny position otherwise they will grow tall and scrappy. If placed in too sunny a position, they will burn and wilt.
- Maintain temperatures between 16–26 °C for best results.
4. Light & Growth
- Once sprouts emerge, uncover the tray and move it to a bright, indirect light source or under grow lights.
- Ensure steady airflow to avoid fungal issues.
- Mist 1–2 times daily or bottom-water as needed, keeping the soil moist but never soggy.
5. Harvesting
- Broccoli microgreens are ready in 6–12 days when seedlings reach 5–7 cm tall with bright green leaves.
- Harvest in the morning for best crispness by snipping just above soil level with clean scissors.
- Use immediately, or store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Growing Tip
Broccoli microgreens pair well with Green Daikon Radish and Purple Sango Radish. These varieties thrive under the same conditions and are easily grown and harvested together, making them perfect companions in your growing setup.

Seed FAQ
Seeds don't expire, but their ability to sprout weakens over time. With proper storage, your seeds will remain viable for years, ensuring a high germination rate for every batch of fresh sprouts.
Key Storage Tips:
- ✅ Keep it Cool, Dry, and Dark: The best place to store seeds is in a location that's away from heat, light, and humidity.
- ✅ Use an Airtight Container: Jars or sealed bags are ideal. For extra protection against moisture, you can add a silica gel packet.
- ✅ Consider Refrigeration: For long-term storage, keeping seeds in the fridge or freezer is a great option. Just be sure to let them return to room temperature before you use them.
Sprouting Seed Viability Guide
Here's how long you can expect some of our most popular seeds to last when stored correctly:
- 1–2 Years: Mung beans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas.
- 3–4 Years: Alfalfa, radish, fenugreek, and mustard.
- 4–5 Years: Broccoli, wheatgrass, sunflower, buckwheat, and clover.
If you're unsure about older seeds, you can perform a simple germination test. Place a few seeds on a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag. Keep them moist and check the number of sprouts after 5–10 days to see if they are still viable.
