A three-layer germination container where you can grow three different varieties of seeds at the same time and enjoy a variety of fresh sprouts!
How to sprout:
1. Preparation
Wash the BioSnacky in cold water. Do not dry the inside of the germination box. The red vent caps must fit tightly, but not too tightly, over the outlet pipe. Wash the seeds thoroughly under running water.
2. Driving
For very small seeds, place a damp sheet of seed paper on a shelf. Spread the seeds as recommended on the seed packet. For larger seeds, seed paper is not needed. Make sure the seeds are not too close together. Seeds can be germinated on one shelf or on several shelves at the same time. We recommend growing the seeds at intervals so that fresh sprouts can be harvested every day. After seeding, stack the layers so that the red vent caps are not directly on top of each other, but slightly separated from each other.
3. Watering
Water according to the recommendations on the seed packet. Irrigate the whole container with the valve cover open under running lukewarm water, or irrigate each shelf separately. Continue pouring water into the upper container until the red vent caps are completely covered, at least 5 dl, and the water starts to flow. All floors are now irrigated automatically. Rinse seedlings that have not yet started to germinate well, but as soon as they do, make sure the bottom shelf is moist.
Excess water will flow out through the vents in the lower shelf and into the saucer below. The water level can be lowered by tilting the whole pan, which will also prevent flooding. Make sure there is no excess water in the container. Depending on the growing conditions, the ripening process may differ from that indicated on the seed bag. Simply spray the ripe shoots with a clear, glossy surface with fresh water.
4. Light
Place the container in a bright place, but not in direct sunlight.
5. Temperature
The ideal temperature is 18-22 degrees. Higher or lower temperatures can increase or decrease germination time.
6. Harvesting
Depending on the type of seed sown, room temperature, light and the specific needs of each seed, germination can take 3-8 days. To harvest – carefully pull the seedlings out to avoid damaging the roots or cut them from the seed paper.
7. Cleaning
After harvesting all the seedlings, the planting box should be thoroughly washed. The planter can be washed in the dishwasher, but we recommend placing it at the top of the dishwasher as the bottom of the dishwasher releases more heat.
We recommend washing the sprouts before eating. If you don’t plan to eat the sprouts immediately, they can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Seeds will not germinate if:
– seeds are too closely spaced;
– the seeds are not well watered;
– the room temperature is too high or too low (the optimum temperature for germination is 18-22 degrees);
– seeds other than the specially developed BioSnacky seeds are used;
– unfavourable conditions, such as too much water around the seeds, too frequent or too little watering, inadequate temperature or light, can cause mould.
Size: height 15,5 cm, diameter 20 cm.
