The Problem
Sick of sad, slimy salad mixes in the fridge?
Most Christmas gifts feel good for a minute then sit in a cupboard. Candles run out. Cups pile up. Cheap personalised things get tossed. Food gifts spoil.
Growing microgreens should be a simple alternative but bagged greens wilt fast, jar sprouts go funky, and soil trays leave mud on benches. Most people try once, fail, and give up.

set up in minutes
It's so easy to setup
Unpack the kit, soak the mat, sprinkle the seeds, and let the pod do the work.
Choose the spot
Place your Micropod in a warm, bright location indoors, out of direct harsh sun.
Prep the growmat
Lay the plant based growmat in the tray and pour in the recommended amount of water until it is fully soaked.
Sow the seeds
Sprinkle the seeds evenly across the wet mat so they cover the surface without piling up.
Cover and grow
Put the lid on for germination, lift it once sprouted, then water as needed until your microgreens are ready to harvest.

Giving Back
SUPPORT NATIVE WILDLIFE WITH EVERY PURCHASE
Every Micropod order from us helps fund the work of Hills Wildlife Sanctuary in Sydney’s northwest. A portion of each sale goes toward caring for injured and orphaned native animals.
Hills Wildlife Sanctuary has been rescuing and rehabilitating Australian wildlife since 1977. On 35 acres of bushland beside Berowra Valley National Park, their vets, zoo keepers, carers and volunteers treat injured animals, provide long term care for those that cannot be released, and train wildlife carers across NSW.
When you choose Micropod through our store, you help support real, hands on work that protects Australia’s native birds and other wildlife.
It's Just Better With Microgreens
Give them something that grows
Micropod is the gift that keeps showing up on their kitchen bench, week after week. Fresh microgreens they grew themselves.
A little moment of pride every time they harvest. And a nudge toward a healthier year ahead without any effort.
Questions? We Have Answers
Common Micropod Questions
Micro herbs are simply microgreens grown from herb species like basil, coriander, dill, or parsley. They are harvested once the first true leaves form.
Sprouts are germinated seeds grown in water and eaten seed, root and shoot together, while microgreens grow in a medium and are harvested above the medium. Typical time to harvest is about 7–21 days from sowing.
Most microgreens are ready in 7 to 21 days depending on variety and conditions. Fast growers include radish, mustards and mizuna, while peas and sunflowers can take a little longer.
Start with easy, reliable options: radish, broccoli, kale, mustard, mizuna, pea shoots, sunflower. These germinate fast and give predictable results in trays.
Yes. Avoid nightshade species as microgreens (tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper) due to toxic alkaloids in young foliage. Also avoid chemically treated seed.
You can grow in a seed-starting mix, coconut coir, or soilless Micropod grow mats. All three are commonly used for microgreens; choose what suits your setup and cleaning routine.
Microgreens are low-light crops and do well on a bright windowsill. A simple LED grow light can improve consistency if natural light is limited.
Use a light mist to settle seed at sowing, then bottom-water by placing your holed tray inside a solid tray so roots wick moisture up.
This reduces damping-off and keeps foliage dry for cleaner harvests.
Often it is root hairs which look like fine, even fuzz along roots and disappear when lightly misted. Mould looks webby or patchy on the surface and does not vanish with a quick mist. Improve airflow and avoid over-watering if mould appears.
Most microgreens are single-cut crops. A few, like pea shoots, can sometimes give a small second harvest if you cut above the lowest leaves, but it is generally more efficient to sow fresh trays.
Harvest with clean scissors at the cotyledon or first-true-leaf stage. Store dry, in an airtight container lined with paper towel in the fridge. Expect roughly 5–7 days of quality, depending on variety and handling.
Yes. Microgreens and micro herbs are nutrient-dense, often containing higher levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than mature plants.
For people, they add flavour and a boost of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E and beta-carotene to meals. Many bird owners also grow safe varieties such as broccoli, kale, pea shoots and mizuna to mix into fresh chop or use as enrichment. Always check that the variety is bird-safe before feeding.
