How To Grow Cress from Seed

Growing cress is incredibly simple and can be done indoors or outdoors, with no special equipment required. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare Your Growing Surface:
   Use a shallow tray, plate, or pot with soil, or even damp kitchen paper for a soil-free method.

2. Sow Your Seeds:
   Sprinkle the cress seeds evenly across the surface. No need to cover them with soil – they’ll germinate in light.

3. Water Gently:
   Use a spray bottle or carefully sprinkle water to keep the surface damp but not waterlogged.
   

4. Provide Light:
   Place your tray or pot in a well-lit area like a windowsill. Natural light works best, but cress can also thrive under grow lights.
   

5. Watch Them Grow:
   Within 2–3 days, you’ll see sprouts emerging. Keep the surface moist to encourage steady growth.

6. Harvest and Enjoy:
   Once the cress is 5–7cm tall (usually within a week), trim it with scissors and enjoy its fresh, peppery taste.

Tip: Sow seeds weekly for a continuous supply of fresh cress.
