🪴 Step-by-Step: Grow Brussels Sprouts from Seed
1. Moisten the Soil
Add warm water to the starter mix and gently combine until evenly moist. Fill the recyclable planter about ¾ full.
2. Plant the Seeds
Make small indentations about ½ inch deep. Sow 2–4 Brussels sprout seeds and lightly cover with soil.
3. Create a Greenhouse Environment
Cover the planter with the moisture liner or dome. Place it somewhere warm—65–75°F is ideal.
4. Sprouting Stage
Seeds germinate in 7–10 days. Once you see sprouts, remove the dome and move the planter to a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of daily light.
5. Thin the Seedlings
When the first true leaves appear, trim back all but the healthiest seedling to focus growth.
6. Transplant Outdoors or Into Larger Containers
After 4–5 weeks, transplant to your garden or a deep container with rich soil. Space plants about 24 inches apart for proper stalk development.
7. Feed & Water Regularly
Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Brussels sprouts thrive with consistent watering and benefit from organic fertilizer every few weeks.
8. Harvest Sprouts
Sprouts mature after 80–100 days. Begin harvesting from the bottom of the stalk once they reach 1–1.5 inches in diameter. Snip with clean scissors and enjoy!
🌿 Pro Tips for Brussels Sprouts Success
- Cool Weather Lovers – Start in early spring or late summer for fall harvest.
- Stake Tall Plants – As stalks grow, add support to prevent tipping.
- Remove Yellow Leaves – This helps divert energy to sprout formation.
- Avoid Sudden Temperature Shifts – Protect young plants from frost or heat spikes.
