Soilless Cultivation Methods and Technical Tips for Wheatgrass

Line the bottom of the seedling tray with drainage holes with a slightly thicker piece of white paper, or a few paper napkins; scatter the seedling seeds, then cover with another layer of white paper, keeping the paper moist at all times; germination usually occurs in about two days. After germination, add water to the bottom of the tray, and remember not to let it rise above the seedlings themselves, keeping the roots of the wheatgrass in the water.

Soilless cultivation methods:

Hydroponic growing should be very simple; a seedling tray is best, and if you do not have a dedicated seedling tray, a washbasin plus a vegetable basket works too. Remember that there must be a certain gap between the bottom of the vegetable basket and the bottom of the washbasin, to prevent too much water from making the seeds rot.

Line the bottom with the hourglass with a slightly thicker piece of white paper, or a few paper napkins. Scatter the seedling seeds, then cover with another layer of white paper, keeping the paper moist at all times; germination usually occurs in about two days. After that, you can add water to the bottom of the tray, and remember not to let it rise above the seedlings themselves, keeping the roots of the wheatgrass in the water.

Points to note:

1. If you only want to germinate the seeds, many people also wrap them in moistened gauze to sprout, which is also very fast. However, remember that if the gauze is used a second time, wash and disinfect it thoroughly. Otherwise it easily causes the seeds to go moldy.

2. Remember to keep the seeds ventilated at all times; hydroponic growing easily goes moldy.

3. After the wheatgrass sprouts, if it relies only on water it may grow very slowly, so if conditions allow, you can add a little nutrient solution; remember to buy a better-quality one.

4. Wheat seeds can be spread densely to cover the whole tray, as long as you remember not to let them overlap.
