How to grow basil microgreens
Don't soak. Basil seeds turn gel-like when wet, so sow them dry.
Sow 3–4 g per 10×10 tray. Scatter thinly over moist cocopeat — the seeds are tiny.
Mist and keep dark for 3 days. Mist gently and cover the tray.
Move to bright light and keep warm. Bright indirect sunlight or a grow light, at 22–30°C.
Harvest at 2–3 inches. Usually day 12–14 — cut just above the base.
Timings are starting estimates. Results vary with seed density, growing medium, temperature, light and watering. Read the full growing guide →

Questions growers ask
How many trays will one pack grow?
At 3–4 g per 10×10 tray, a 50 g pack sows about 12–16 trays.
Why shouldn't I soak basil seeds?
Basil seeds form a gel coating as soon as they get wet, which makes them clump. Sow them dry onto moist cocopeat and mist them instead.
Can I grow basil in cold weather?
Basil needs warmth (22–30°C). In cooler months, grow it indoors in your warmest spot or under a grow light, and expect slower growth.
