Description
Specifications
  • Growing cress from seeds is a quick and easy way to add a burst of fresh, peppery flavor to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes
  • Cress is well‐suited for indoor or outdoor cultivation and requires minimal space and effort
  • To begin, choose a shallow container with good drainage, such as a seed tray or a small pot
  • Fill it with a light and well‐draining potting mix
  • Moisten the soil evenly before sprinkling cress seeds over the surface
  • Press the seeds gently into the soil or cover them with a thin layer of additional soil
  • Place the container in a sunny location or provide artificial light if growing indoors
  • Cress seeds germinate rapidly, typically within 3 to 7 days
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination and growing phases, but avoid waterlogging
  • As the cress seedlings emerge, ensure good air circulation to prevent damping off and other fungal issues
  • Once the cress reaches a height of 2 to 3 inches, it's ready for harvest
  • Use clean scissors to snip the cress just above the soil line
