Fenugreek Growing Guide

Active step 1/4

Day 0/8

1. 1

   Soak the Seeds

   Day 0

   Rinse fenugreek seeds and soak in cool water for 6-8 hours. Seeds will swell noticeably.

   Done

   • Use a fine mesh strainer for rinsing
   • Seeds have a natural mucilage — this is normal
2. 2

   Sow and Cover

   Day 1

   Spread soaked seeds densely on pre-moistened medium. Cover with a blackout dome for 2-3 days.

   Done

   • Keep the medium consistently moist
   • Seeds germinate quickly — check daily
3. 3

   Introduce Light

   Day 3

   Remove the cover and move to 12-14 hours of light per day. The aroma intensifies as greens develop.

   Done

   • Bottom watering reduces mold risk
   • Ensure good airflow to prevent dampness
4. 4

   Harvest

   Day 8

   Harvest when 5-8 cm tall with first true leaves open. Cut just above soil level.

   Done

   • Harvest in the morning for peak freshness
   • Use in curries, salads, or as a garnish
