Introduction: A Gift That Keeps Growing
You've just received a Giftagreen card, and now you're wondering—what's next? Unlike regular greeting cards, this one isn't just for reading—it’s for growing! Inside, you'll find a pouch filled with organic microgreen seeds that will sprout into fresh, edible greens within a week.
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to plant, grow, and enjoy your microgreens in just a few easy steps.
Step 1: Open Your Card & Remove the Seed Pouch
Each Giftagreen card has a special soil pouch inside that contains microgreen seeds such as arugula, kale, or radish. These seeds are organic, non-GMO, and easy to grow, making them perfect for beginners.
Pro Tip:
Place your Giftagreen card on a dry, flat surface like a kitchen counter or windowsill before opening. This will make handling the pouch easier.
Step 2: Add Water & Watch the Magic Begin
Once you’ve removed the seed pouch, it’s time to activate the growing process!
- Slowly pour 2–3 tablespoons of water into the pouch.
- Make sure the soil is evenly moist but not too wet (you don’t want it to be soggy).
- Place the pouch in a bright spot, such as a kitchen windowsill or near a light source.
Pro Tip:
Microgreens thrive in natural light, but if you’re growing them in a darker space, a small LED light can help!
Step 3: Check Daily & Keep Moist
Over the next 2-3 days, you’ll start to see tiny sprouts! Keep an eye on the soil and make sure it stays moist by adding a little water if needed.
🌱 Day 1-3: Seeds begin to sprout
🌱 Day 4-5: Tiny green shoots emerge
🌱 Day 6-7: Microgreens are ready to harvest!
Pro Tip:
If your microgreens seem "leggy" (too tall and thin), they might need more light. Move them closer to a window or light source.
Step 4: Harvest & Enjoy!
Once your microgreens are 2–3 inches tall, it’s time to harvest! Use scissors to cut them just above the soil.
Now, you can enjoy your homegrown microgreens in:
🥗 Salads for a nutrient boost
🥪 Sandwiches & wraps for a fresh crunch
🍳 Eggs & omelets for added flavor
🍕 Pizza toppings for an extra green touch
Pro Tip:
Harvest microgreens as needed—they’ll stay fresh for several days after cutting!
Conclusion: Grow, Eat, Repeat!
Growing microgreens from your Giftagreen card is fun, easy, and delicious! Plus, it’s a great way to connect with nature, eat healthier, and reduce waste.
