Hello Barbara! So happy that you are growing with us! :) All of our seeds quilts are grown in our Hamama Grow Tray. Our tray is specially designed to guarantee the optimal growth of the plants in the Seed Quilts. Without the tray, the seeds will very likely either get under or overwatered. I will include a link to the grow trays below: https://www.hamama.com/products/single-grow-tray

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us!

I’m new to the whole seed quilt growing. I received just the seed quilts in wax paper. Instructions say to add water, soak seed quilt and cherish. Are they supposed to go in some kind of container?

Hi Ruth!

Great question! 💡 If you would like to cover them as they germinate, feel free to. Keep in mind though, good air flow is important as they begin to sprout, so be sure to allow for that and avoid covering the tray completely. The cool thing is that we have that all set up for your already with our Hamama seed quilts – the top paper keeps light out while still allowing some airflow during the germination period.

While storing the seed quilts, keep them in a cool, dry and dark place. These three attributes will keep the dormant seed quilts healthy until you decide to give them water, sun and warmth. Once you have fully soaked your tray well, the microgreen seedlings will begin to push upward under the quilt. At this point, you can tear off the top layer so they can begin to fully soak up the light in their environment. Light will not hurt them in this early process.

Happy growing & please reach out with any more fun questions that come to mind.

I’ve tried growing microgreens in flats with dirt. This is my first time using your seeds in the coconut fiber. Today is day 1. You don’t have us keep the tray in the dark for the first three days? Not necessary with this growing method?

HI Karen!

The Hamama system is designed to just add water once and harvest in about a week. However, there may be exceptions according to your growing environment.

Pre-peel you should never have to add more water. After peeling, the only time you may need to add more water is if you notice that the water has dropped below the tray’s ribs on the bottom. This is not common, however, if you live in a drier climate or have the heat on in your house, then you can add just a bit of water.

Here’s how:

With clean hands lift up the coconut fiber mat to check the level. If the water is still over the top of the ribs, then you’re good to grow! 🙌

If it’s receded a bit, then you’ll just add enough to fill back up to the top of the ribs, making sure that you never pour water directly on top of the greens/seed quilt itself. Pour the water into the side/corner of the tray. If water is added directly on top of the Seed Quilt, this could drown the greens, cause the seeds to become water-logged and also encourage growth of mold.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions! 🌱
