To grow microgreens, you need to sow the seeds atop very damp seed starting mix or fresh potting soil, and lightly press them into the surface. Place seeds only a seed’s width apart so the sprouts will hold each other up as they grow. Spritz the seeds with water, and place them in a warm spot where you can check them often to make sure they stay moist. The seeds sprout quickly under warm, moist conditions, usually within three days. The best species have large seeds that sprout quickly, such as sunflower seeds, which give the fastest results, and peas, which are easy to grow.
