How can I grow it?
Producing organic red Atriplice microgreens is quick and easy, even at home.
Organic red Atriplice seeds do not need any soaking before sowing.
To create the right humidity for red Atriplice seeds, we recommend you to cover the container in which you will sow them and keep them in the dark for the first 4/5 days while they complete germination. After that, you can move them to sunlight. Organic red Orach microgreens grow quickly and you will be able to harvest them after just 10/12 days.
For gardening enthusiasts and those who would like to add an extra touch of colour to their home, we recommend sowing red Orach in pots with potting soil and growing them in a sunny location while watering regularly. After 30/40 days you will be able to pick the first purple-red leaves, whereas for the fully matured ornamental plant you will have to wait 60/70 days.
