Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do rocket seeds need soaking before sowing?
A: No — rocket seeds are mucilaginous (they get sticky when wet), so sow them dry directly onto your growing medium.
Q: How many trays can I grow from 100g?
A: Approximately 10–12 trays of 10×10 inches each.
Q: Can I grow rocket microgreens in summer?
A: Rocket prefers cooler temperatures (16–22°C). In peak summer, grow indoors with a fan for air circulation.
Q: Are rocket microgreens safe for children?
A: Yes — non-GMO, chemical-free, and safe for the whole family. The peppery flavour may be strong for very young children.
Q: What growing medium works best for rocket?
A: Cocopeat works best. Avoid overwatering — rocket is prone to damping off if too wet.
