Wheatgrass is a type of grass that is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. It is commonly used in juicing and smoothies as it is known to have many health benefits. Growing wheatgrass at home is easy and can be done by anyone with a little bit of patience and the right tools. In this article, we will discuss how to propagate wheatgrass plant the right way.
The first step in propagating wheatgrass is to soak the seeds overnight. This helps to soften the outer shell and make it easier for the seeds to germinate. You can use a jar or a bowl to soak the seeds.
Wheatgrass can be grown in soil or hydroponically. If you choose to grow it in soil, make sure that the soil is moist but not waterlogged. You can use potting soil or compost as a growing medium.
After soaking the seeds, it’s time to plant them. Sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil and gently press them down with your fingers. Make sure that the seeds are evenly spaced out.
After planting the seeds, water them gently using a spray bottle or a watering can with a fine nozzle. Be careful not to overwater as this can lead to mold growth.
Wheatgrass needs plenty of sunlight to grow. Place the tray in a sunny spot near a window or under a grow light. Make sure that the temperature is between 60-75°F (15-24°C).
Wheatgrass takes about 7-10 days to grow to a height of 6-8 inches. Once it reaches this height, it’s time to harvest. Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the wheatgrass just above the soil line.
Wheatgrass can be regrown by replanting the roots. After harvesting, cut the wheatgrass just above the roots and replant them in fresh soil.
