Optional:

Instructions:

  1. Fill the pot with potting mix.

  3. If you are using cotton wool, place it in a thin layer on top of the potting mix.
  4. Sprinkle the cress seeds evenly over the surface of the potting mix or cotton wool.
  5. If you are not using cotton wool, lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of potting mix.
  6. Water the seeds gently.
  7. Place the pot in a warm, sunny spot.
  8. Keep the potting mix or cotton wool moist but not soggy.
  9. The seeds should germinate within 7-10 days.
  10. Once the seedlings have emerged, harvest them as needed by snipping them off with scissors.

Here are some additional tips for growing cress in pots at home:

  • Cress grows best in cool temperatures, so it is a good idea to grow it indoors during the winter.
  • Cress does not need a lot of space to grow, so you can plant it in a small pot or container.
  • Cress is ready to harvest within 1-2 weeks of germination.
  • Cress can be eaten fresh in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. It can also be used to garnish dishes.

Enjoy your homegrown cress!
