Learn to grow wheatgrass
1. Soak the required wheatgrass seeds in water for 6 hours and then pour out the water (do not soak for too long or the seeds will die). Drain and observe whether there are small sprouts. If not, rinse again after about 2 hours without soaking. After observing small sprouts, you can plant them.
2. Place cotton pads at the bottom of the pot to prevent soil leakage, and add fertilizer soil until it is 80% full.
3. Place the soaked seeds on the top layer, then spread a thin layer of fertilizer soil until it is 90% full, water the soil to make it completely moist, and water it in the morning and evening. Avoid direct sunlight in the summer, and the wheat seedlings will continue to grow. In winter, you can directly sow and plant after soaking in water. In winter, the sunlight is weaker and it is not easy to get sunburned.
4. Cats, dogs, rabbits, and mice all love to eat wheat grass. You can let them pick and eat it themselves, or you can leave about 5 cm of the grass to cut off and feed it to them. You can harvest it continuously for about 4 times.
※Pay attention to ventilation and drainage to avoid mold.
Q & A
1. Why are the leaves yellowing but the plant is growing vigorously? This is usually because the plant does not get enough sunlight, which results in the inability to produce chlorophyll. It is recommended that the wheatgrass be exposed to sunlight regularly.
2. What should I do if the wheat grass roots are moldy? The reason is that you water too much and the water level is too high. You should reduce the frequency of watering and lower the water level appropriately.
3. Why does germination take longer in autumn and winter? The reason is that the indoor temperature is too low. You can move it to a warmer place or expose it to sunlight appropriately.
