Growing Microgreens in Bangalore — A Year-Round Guide for India's Easiest Growing City

✍️ Sonia Pardasani, Founder BageechaBox | 🕐 5 min read | 📍 Regional Guide

Quick answer: Bangalore is one of the easiest cities in India to grow microgreens. Its mild temperatures stay close to the 20–30°C range most microgreens like, so you can grow almost every variety all year round — including cool-weather greens like peas, broccoli and kale that struggle in hotter cities. The one season to manage is the monsoon, when humidity raises the risk of mould.

Some of our most loyal seed customers are in Bangalore, and I understand why. When growers in Delhi are fighting 45°C summers and foggy winters, Bangalore growers are quietly harvesting tray after tray. If you live there, you have a real advantage — here is how to make the most of it.

Your Growing Calendar

Season	Conditions	What to do
Nov – Feb	Cool, dry, pleasant	Best season — grow everything, especially peas, broccoli, kale and spinach
Mar – May	Warmest months	Still very good; keep trays out of afternoon sun and check moisture daily
Jun – Nov	Monsoon rains, high humidity	Focus on airflow, medium sowing density and careful watering

Varieties That Do Best in Bangalore

Almost everything grows well, but these make the most of Bangalore's climate:

• Peas and broccoli — they prefer cooler conditions (around 15–22°C), which Bangalore offers for much of the year
• Kale and purple kale — cool-weather brassicas that are hard to grow well in hotter cities
• Spinach (palak) — another cool-weather variety that thrives here
• Radish, methi and moong — fast and reliable all year (5–8 days)

Monsoon Tips for Bangalore Growers

Step 1 — Sow at medium density

Crowded trays trap moisture. Use the medium-density quantities from our Seed Calculator and tick "Rainy or very humid" for adjusted guidance.

Step 2 — Keep air moving

A small fan on low near your trays makes a big difference during weeks of rain. Avoid closed cupboards for the dark period.

Step 3 — Bottom water, and less often

Cocopeat dries slowly in humid air. Water only when the tray feels light. Learn to tell root hairs from mould in our fungus guide.

Step 4 — Store seed airtight

Humidity ages seeds quickly. Keep opened packets in a sealed jar with silica gel — see how to store seeds.

Ordering Seeds to Bangalore

Dry seeds travel well, so the transit time doesn't affect germination. Fresh-cut microgreens are delivered only in Delhi NCR, so Bangalore growers should order seeds and kits. Tip: order a few weeks' supply at once so you never run out mid-rotation.
