How to Grow: To grow Swiss Chard – Pink Lipstick microgreens, start by spreading the seeds evenly over a shallow tray filled with a light, well-draining soil mix. Press the seeds lightly into the soil and mist the surface to maintain moisture. Cover the tray with a lid or another tray to create a dark, humid environment for germination.

Once the seeds sprout, remove the cover and place the tray in indirect sunlight or under grow lights.

Harvesting: Harvest Swiss Chard – Pink Lipstick microgreens when they are about 1–2 inches tall, typically 10–14 days after planting.
