How to grow wheatgrass at home?


Easy Steps on How to Grow WheatgrassWheatgrass is very cheap and again, easy to grow. First, you need to soak the seeds for about half a day (10-12 hours) then drain it for another 10 to 12 hours. When it is completely dry, you can now sprinkle your seeds in almost any type of porous surface. Porous surfaces allow you to grow wheat grass because they enable the roots to attach and hold your wheatgrass to grow upright.
You can also choose to grow it over soil (it does not generally matter whether the soil is poor or not). Keep the seeds wet over indirect sunlight and above 60 Fahrenheit degrees and you will see them grow about 8 inches tall in a matter of 7 to 10 days.


Taking Care of Your Wheatgrass

The general rule for growing wheatgrass is to water them twice daily with a spray bottle or a watering can. This, coupled with maintaining optimum temperature, air circulation and humidity are the two basic maintenance procedures that they need. In about 7 to 10 days when your wheatgrass grows about 7 inches tall, you can start harvesting them.
Many people who lead busy lifestyles find it most convenient to use wheatgrass sprouters. These automatic sprouters allow you the benefit of planting your own wheat grass (or any type of seed, for that matter) with minimum effort. You do not need to worry about light conditions, pests hovering or soil quality. All you need to do is load the seeds and add in the water and harvest in a matter of days. Growing wheatgrass has never been as easy as it is today.
