Watercress: growing

The process of growing this salad does not require serious preliminary preparation and hard-to-find funds. First of all, decide on a watercress variety and buy seeds.

Important! When buying seeds, always pay attention to the type of packaging. The seed bag must not be dented or torn. Remember to check the expiration date of the seeds.

Next you will need:

Growing watercress: easy step-by-step instructions

Growing watercress

So, you have decided to grow watercress on your windowsill and have already prepared all the necessary ingredients for this. To begin with, there are 2 main ways to grow this salad at home: using soil or substrate. Choose the one that suits you best. The cultivation method does not in any way affect the germination of the seeds and the taste of the plants.

Method number 1. Growing in a substrate

Step 1. We take a suitable container and place the selected substrate on its bottom. The layer should be at least 1.5-2 centimeters. We moisten everything with a small amount of warm water (preferably boiled or at least settled). If you have chosen peat or wood chips as a breeding ground for watercress, then before using such a substrate you need to pour boiling water over it, which will avoid the appearance of mold in the future.

Preparing soil and containers

Cotton wool can be used instead of soil

The substrate needs to be moistened

Step 2. Take a glass and pour the seeds from the bag into it, and then cover them with water. The water should completely hide the seeds. This is necessary for each seed to acquire its own shell.

Step 3... We are waiting for a couple of seconds. Then we shift the seeds with a teaspoon or simply pour the water with the seeds from the glass into the prepared dish with a layer of the nutrient medium. Gently and slowly distribute all the seeds in one layer.

Transfer the seeds to the substrate

Step 4. We cover our container with seeds with foil or cellophane to create greenhouse conditions and put it on the windowsill, where there is no direct sunlight.

Please note that there should be no hot battery near the seeds.

How to create a greenhouse effect

Step 5. Check the seeds a day later. Most likely, you will see barely noticeable sprouts hatching from the seeds. And a day later, when real sprouts appear, you can remove the film.

The salad has risen, the film is no longer needed

Caring for this salad is very simple: you just need to water it regularly, turn the container with sprouts around its axis (otherwise the plants will stretch in one direction) and, if possible, moisten it with water from a spray bottle (watercress is very fond of moisture). You can feed the plants with any mineral fertilizers (for example, potassium solution or urea).

It is very important not to allow the soil to dry out in a container with plants, as this can lead to a thinning of the salad and a loss of its taste.

Step 6... In just 1.5-2 weeks, the salad is ready to eat.

Lettuce can be grown in eggshells

Watercress in small jars

Method number 2. Growing in soil.

Step 1... Pour the soil into a previously prepared container with a layer of about 6-7 centimeters. Then we make even rows for sowing seeds with a depth of half a centimeter and at a distance of at least 10-15 centimeters from each other.

Pour the soil into a box, level it, compact it with a board, cut grooves

And you can make it even easier: pour the seeds from a glass, as in method 1, directly onto the soil and sprinkle them with a thin layer of earth (about 1 centimeter).

Conveniently sow seeds in the snow

Step 2... The container with the sown seeds can be covered with foil, or you can just leave it that way. The main thing is that the air temperature is not lower than 19-20 ° C.

Foil-covered drawers

Step 3... Take note that with this method, the seeds germinate a little longer (1-2 days), because they need to germinate through the soil layer. After all the sprouts have sprouted, be sure to lower the temperature to 10-15 ° C. This will be a good stimulus for the development of a strong root system of the plants and will prevent them from stretching and thinning.

Shoots of watercress

Step 4... Shoot care is the same as in method 1: regular watering, pollination with water, turning the plants in different directions to the sun and fertilizing with mineral fertilizers.

Features of harvesting

Harvesting

The required amount of lettuce is cut when its stems grow to 8-9 centimeters. It is best to do this in the morning or evening. You can store cut salad in the main compartment of the refrigerator for 1 day (preferably in a container with water). On the second day, it begins to turn yellow quickly and loses all its beneficial properties.

When the plant stems reach 13-14 centimeters in height, they must be cut off at the base or removed from the container along with the roots. Please note that after cutting, the plants no longer grow back, so in order to continuously harvest the watercress, it must be sown every 2 weeks.

Secrets of the correct cultivation of watercress

The well-known watercress, growing on the windowsill of which will not cause unnecessary trouble, will be of great benefit if you appear at your home. Cultivation can take place both in the ground and without soil, in cotton wool, water, but you need to properly sow and take care of the seedlings so that the valuable product does not overgrow and does not taste bitter ...

Watercress - growing on a windowsill in the ground

Bugwort is an extremely healthy plant that is recommended to be eaten every day and one of the ways to supply fragrant watercress to your table all year round is to grow it on a windowsill. It is ideal for urban dwellers, since mini-beds with greenery do not take up much space, and the most common way is to get fresh watercress - which is grown at home in universal soil.

To grow watercress on the windowsill, you will need ordinary flower pots or trays (they are often used for seedlings) 5-7 cm deep, they are filled 2-3 cm with shallow drainage - vermiculite, crushed rubble, chopped shards or brick chips. A standard soil for seedlings or indoor plants is poured on top with a layer of 3-5 cm, it can also be composed independently from the following components:

• 1 piece of garden land
• 1 part leafy soil or rotted compost
• 0.5 parts of coarse sand
• 0.5 parts of peat

To get a quality watercress, growing on a windowsill should start with disinfecting the soil, especially if it was compiled on its own. To do this, the soil is warmed up in the oven for 40 minutes at a temperature of +70 ﹾ ... + 80 ﹾ C, or spilled well with boiling water. If the soil is bought in a specialized store, it does not need such treatment.

Important! Watercress is a fast-growing plant that does not need a lot of nutrients and you should not add mineral fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, to the soil where it will be sown - they can contribute to the accumulation of nitrates in greenery.

The next step is sowing seeds that have been previously soaked in boiled water for 20-30 minutes. Before planting watercress, the seeds are slightly dried so that they do not stick together, and spread over the soil surface. A specific scheme for growing is not needed, since the bug grows well in thickened crops. Sprinkle the seeds on top with 1 cm of sifted soil, moisten from a spray bottle, cover with foil or glass and put on the windowsill.Watercress shoots will appear in 3-7 days.

What conditions are needed for watercress when growing on a windowsill:

1. Lighting - any will do, except for pitch darkness, plates with seedlings are placed on the windowsill with any orientation
2. Temperature - below the average for the apartment, that is, from +10 ﹾ to +18 ﹾ C, the heat from the battery will provoke a rapid overgrowth of greenery, therefore, it is better to put a screen made of foil or cardboard on the heating devices under the windowsill
3. Soil moisture - moderate, without sudden changes, abundant spraying 2-3 times a week will make the watercress more fragrant and tender
4. Air humidity - high, without drops, otherwise the greens will grow tough and bitter, so it is advisable to put glasses of water next to the mini-garden on the windowsill, and in winter, cover the batteries with a damp cloth

Under such conditions, watercress shoots grow to the degree of technical readiness (7-10 cm in height) in a week, it is desirable to cut them off in parts, for consumption at a time, since in the cut, the leaves quickly lose their taste and useful qualities.

Watercress - growing on cotton wool and in water

A unique feature of the plant, known as bedwort or watercress, is that it can be grown on a windowsill without nutrient soil. The seeds of this green crop contain enough substances to form a full stem and leaves. At the same time, the content of nutrients in them will be at the same high level as when growing in soil. If it is not possible to place pots and boxes at home in which watercress will grow, growing on a windowsill without land can be a pleasant alternative. For greens, watercress - growing on a windowsill without a nutritious substrate allows you to use:

• tissue or paper napkins
• foam or natural sponges
• cotton wool

Watercress on cotton wool - pictured

Such a substrate is placed in bowls with a layer of 2 cm (you can also use strong plastic bags), saturate well with water and spread soaked watercress seeds on the surface. The crops are covered with foil and placed on the windowsill. If we sow watercress on napkins or cotton wool in a bag, it should be slightly inflated and tied. After the emergence of seedlings, the crops are opened. Caring for such beds without soil comes down to timely moistening the substrate, spraying the grown greenery and maintaining the temperature at +10 ﹾ ... + 18 ﹾ С.

An equally interesting and easy way to grow watercress is in a sieve made of fabric or metal, for the implementation of which you will need any container for water and a sieve. Even a mosquito net stretched over a wire frame will do. Water with a temperature of +30 degrees or slightly higher is poured into the lower container. Place the watercress seeds in a sieve and place it in water so that the water touches the bottom of the sieve and moistens the seeds. The grown watercress, grown on the windowsill of which was carried out using a sieve, can be eaten with the roots, because they sink through the cells into the water and remain clean.

When to cut watercress and what to do if it's overgrown

Early ripening watercress - growing on a windowsill without land or in the ground means fast, without overgrowing and it is important to cut the leaves in a timely manner before they become too coarse. It is better to focus on the height of the stems, which they should not be more than 13-15 cm. Watercress with a height of 8-10 cm has the best taste. Greens reach the indicated sizes a week after sowing.

It is noteworthy that green watercress cultivation on a windowsill on cotton wool, in soil or water completes faster than blue or red and this must be taken into account. Heat and excess light accelerate the growth of greenery. At a temperature of +25 degrees, the bug produces a flower arrow after a couple of leaves appear, so it is important to observe the recommended temperature regime.

Watercress, the benefits and harms of which are not known to everyone, has a rich vitamin composition.Therefore, by consuming green grass every day, your body will always receive the required amount of vitamins, in addition, a variety of recipes from the bug will make your food not only healthy, but also tasty.

If, nevertheless, the watercress has overgrown, you should not use it in cooking - the taste of the greens will be too harsh and bitter. The use of an overripe bug can be found in the manufacture of home cosmetics or folk remedies for various diseases. They require watercress juice or mashed stems and leaves. Unused plants can be thrown away, and new seeds can be sown in the vacated containers.

Who among us is not delighted with fresh vitamin greens? But in the garden, it can only be grown in summer. Of course, greens are sold in the store at any time of the year, but in terms of quality it will not be at all the same. You can get natural greens at any time in a simple and affordable way - just grow watercress on the windowsill. This article will tell you how to grow such a salad.

In addition, the crushed leaves of this salad are part of homemade ointments, lotions, and creams that significantly reduce acne and make acne marks less noticeable.

Also watercress is loved because of its unusual pungent taste, similar to that of horseradish (popularly also called horseradish).

Despite the huge number of advantages, the plant is unpretentious in care. That is why it is very easy to grow watercress on the windowsill all year round: it grows quickly, does not require special attention, cold-resistant, shade-tolerant.

Varieties

Today, there are three types of watercress:

• curly - it is distinguished by a small rosette of leaves (17 cm) and raised, strongly dissected leaves (for example, "openwork").
• sowing - it is distinguished by a large rosette (up to 21 cm) and horizontal, wide, whole leaves (for example, "Danish", "fun").
• whole-leaved - it is distinguished by a large rosette, narrow little-cut leaves (for example, "ducat").

Due to its early maturity, it is most often found on the windowsill of the Danish watercress. How to grow it is described below.

What it takes to grow watercress on a windowsill

Serious preliminary preparation and hard-to-find means for growing watercress will not be required. First, you need to choose the most suitable variety and buy seeds. When choosing seeds, it is important to carefully examine the packaging. It should not be dented or torn. It is also important to check the expiration date of the seeds.

Next, you need to prepare:

• Capacity for growing lettuce. Its height should be about 10 cm. As a container, you can use a plastic container, a bowl, a bowl, a plate, a tray or a shallow flower pot.
• Nutrient medium (substrate) for growing. Such a substrate can be cotton wool, cotton pads, foam rubber, gauze, peat or finely chopped wood shavings. The substrate can also be replaced with a hydrogel.
• Plastic wrap or plastic bag.
• Regular or commercial nutrient soil.
• A mug and a teaspoon.

How to grow watercress on a windowsill? The methods for this are completely different. Let's consider the main ones.

Growing watercress in a substrate

You need to take a container and lay a suitable substrate on the bottom with a layer of 1.5-2 cm. After that, the substrate must be moistened with boiled or settled water. If peat or wood chips are used as a substrate, then boiling water is poured over it to avoid the appearance of mold.

After the substrate is prepared, you need to take a glass, pour the seeds into it and fill them with water so that the water completely hides the seeds. Thus, each seed will be in its own shell.

You need to hold the seeds in water for a few seconds, then transfer them with a teaspoon from a glass to a prepared container with a nutrient medium, and carefully distribute them in one layer.

To create greenhouse conditions for the seeds, cover the container on top with cling film or a plastic bag and put it on the windowsill. It is important to place the jar out of direct sunlight and away from the hot battery. This creates a greenhouse effect in a seed jar.

After a day, you need to check the seeds, usually at this time slightly hatched sprouts already appear. In another day, good sprouts should appear, then the film is removed.

It is very simple to take care of this salad: water it on time, sometimes turn it to the light with the other side (so that the plants grow straight). It is also good to spray it with water from a spray bottle. If you wish, you can feed the salad with potassium solution or urea. The main thing is not to overdry the soil, since the press salad is very fond of moisture, and its lack makes the plants thinner and worsens their taste.

After 1.5-2 weeks, the salad can already be eaten.

... and in the soil

You need to pour fertile soil into the container (about 7 cm). After that, make even grooves (depth 0.5 cm). The distance between the grooves should be 10-15 cm. The seeds are covered with a thin layer of soil (about 1 cm).

Seeds can be sown in a chaotic manner - just pour them out of a glass after soaking, level and cover with earth.

After that, the container must be covered with foil. If the room is warm enough (20-23 degrees), then you can leave the container without a film.

With this method, the seeds will germinate a little longer (about 2 days), as they germinate through the soil. When the sprouts appear, the temperature should be reduced to 10-15 degrees. This will help the plant develop a strong root system and prevent them from pulling out.

After seed germination, you need to care for the plants in the same way as described in the first method.

The most interesting ways to grow watercress

Due to the unpretentiousness of watercress, it is grown as you like and anywhere. Let's look at some interesting growing methods:

• This method does not require land and a growing container, and plants do not need daily watering. You need to take a small tea strainer and a cup for water. The seeds are poured into a strainer and poured over with warm water (it eventually remains in the cup). After that, the cup with a strainer can be removed on the windowsill, in a week the greens will be ready. Growing in this way has a big advantage - the salad can be eaten with roots.
• This method is fairly common. The salad is grown in a container, the bottom of which is covered with damp gauze. The disadvantage of this method is that a lot of seeds are required. But these seeds germinate very quickly.
• Growing in an electronic pot. In such a pot, lettuce can be grown all year round, and you do not need to do anything at all, just add seeds. True, such a pot is quite expensive.

The above described ways of how to quickly grow watercress on a windowsill. Moreover, they are all quite simple.

Features of picking salad

How to grow watercress on a windowsill in winter, we considered, it's time to harvest. This also needs to be done correctly.

You can cut the salad when the stems grow to 8-9 cm. It is better to do this in the morning or in the evening. Watercress should be eaten fresh, i.e. do not store. In the refrigerator, it can be stored for no more than a day (preferably in water).If you store the salad for longer than a day, then it quickly turns yellow and remains without its beneficial properties.

When the salad has grown to 13-14 cm, it needs to be cut, and as close to the base as possible. Once the lettuce is cut, the roots will no longer grow back, so the watercress needs to be sown every 2 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Secrets: how to grow watercress on a windowsill correctly

• In order for the rosette of leaves to be large, the distance between the plants must be at least 5 cm.
• Before sowing, the soil must be well compacted.
• It is necessary to sow the seeds sequentially, about 1 time in 10 days, so that it grows continuously.
• It is important to water on time, as watercress loves moisture.

Thus, we figured out how to grow watercress on a windowsill so that it is fragrant and extremely healthy. This small vegetable garden does not require much space, does not require special care, but it brings a lot of pleasure. By the way, watercress can be grown both on the windowsill and in the garden bed.

There are a great many types of salads, but many varieties are especially revered in the cuisines of the world. Watercress is one of the most popular because it combines many positive properties, ranging from a unique taste and aroma to the simplicity of agricultural technology. Moreover, it should be noted that watercress, which is often grown in the open field, grows well at home, even on the windowsill of an ordinary city apartment.

Preparatory work

The plant is considered one of the most unpretentious, and to such an extent that to grow it at home, you will not have to cook any specific soil or look for any specific varieties. Moreover, it is best to experiment with several varieties and settle on a more suitable one. With the soil, everything is much simpler, and so much so that some experienced gardeners plant lettuce seeds to other crops, for example, growing fragrant home cucumbers, or to moisture-loving home flowers.

You can grow greens at home in any container up to 50 mm high

To prepare for planting, you need to decide exactly how the salad will grow, since there are several landing options:

• in the soil mixture;
• into a cotton-gauze base;
• into a combined base.

In the first case, for growing lettuce at home, you can take any soil that is fertile or what you can get. But keep in mind that the most suitable will be a specialized soil mixture from the store, least the earth that you dug next to the road or on the playground. In principle, you can compromise and take the soil from your garden plot, having previously removed all the weeds from it.

In the second case, cotton wool wrapped in gauze is used as the base. Naturally, both cotton wool and gauze must be from a pharmacy, and the density of the latter must be sufficient for long-term use.

Video about growing watercress at home

The third case implies a kind of "layer cake", which includes (from the bottom up) drainage in the form of a sand-gravel mixture, a cotton-gauze layer, a fertile soil mixture. Drainage is necessary to remove excess water, the cotton-gauze layer will retain the required amount of moisture, and the soil will provide the plant with microelements. It is the combined method that is suitable for those who have no experience at all in growing plants either on the windowsill or in the garden, since it practically will not give a chance to ruin the greens.

You can grow greens at home in any container up to 50 mm high, since the base layer does not exceed 30-40 mm. However, it is worth remembering that for a combined base, a height of 40 mm is required, and for a cotton-gauze base, 30 mm will be enough. This is due to the fact that the plant itself is small, and its root system is quite compact.

Planting watercress

Planting watercress seeds at home is done by seeds directly into the base, without any preliminary treatment. However, the landing technique varies somewhat depending on the top filling. For a combination or soil base, simply scatter the seeds and lightly dust them with soil. But if the base is cotton-gauze, then the seeds are scattered only over the cotton, and only then they are covered with gauze on top. It is believed that even in this case, it is necessary to cover the seeds with nutritious soil, but this will not bring practical benefit.

Just before planting, the base is watered abundantly. Immediately after disembarkation, it is sprayed from a spray bottle. Under no circumstances should it be watered with a stream, as the stream of water will be able to wash out the newly planted seeds. It is also important to keep in mind that there is no need to make the seeds float. The substrate must be damp, but not over-spilled.

Immediately after disembarkation, it is sprayed from a spray bottle

After planting has been carried out, the container with watercress is removed to a shaded cool (6-8 degrees Celsius) place, as this, on the one hand, will prevent excessive evaporation of moisture and, on the other hand, will not cause rotting of seeds or the appearance of fungal infections. , mold.

It is especially important to observe the temperature regime at home if the soil was taken from a personal plot, or the planting is done in a cotton-gauze base.

The temperature rises to room temperature only when the first leaves appear. However, it is not worth putting a container on the battery, it is best to maintain the mode within + 15 ... + 18 g. Celsius.

Plant care

To grow delicious greens by creating a garden on the balcony, you need to take care of it, which boils down to a few simple rules.

• Watering

Watering should be regular and abundant, since the plant is moisture-loving and does not tolerate the lack of water. Perhaps a failure in watering is a little that can instantly destroy a culture. It is best to water from a spray bottle, washing the foliage - then the greens will be especially delicate and fragrant. Constant humidity in the room will also be important, because when it fluctuates, the foliage can begin to taste bitter, or even inflorescences will form altogether.

• Light mode

Watercress loves shaded areas, but that doesn't mean it doesn't need light. It is best to grow it on a windowsill or in a loggia on the north side, hiding the plant from direct sunlight, which is detrimental to foliage. In winter or during the polar night, you can replace natural lighting with any artificial one, and even LED strips with a warm glow temperature are suitable. It is also important to remember that the source of additional illumination should be moved away from the plant by 300-400 mm to prevent heat damage to the leaves. In no case should halogen lamps be used, as they can burn the plant. The container should be constantly tucked up so that growth goes not in stretching the stems, but in straightening the foliage.

• Temperature

Watercress does not tolerate heat very well. Therefore, in summer, it is allowed to grow on windowsills facing the north side, and in winter - away from heating devices and batteries. The minimum suitable temperature will be +15 degrees Celsius, the maximum is +20 degrees Celsius, and the optimal one is +18.

Harvesting

The harvest is harvested immediately before use, in small portions, since the watercress is practically not stored - it quickly withers, loses its taste. It is necessary to cut it with ordinary scissors, and no later than a week after the appearance of foliage. This is due to the fact that the greens begin to quickly lose their taste, become rough and can even give a bitterness.When harvesting, only the leaves with the minimum length of the stalk can be cut, since the latter has practically no taste or aroma.

In order for the crop to be regularly available, you can choose a salad by variety, or sow it once a week. If you choose planting by varieties, then you can choose the following combination:

• grade Flagman. Reaches maturity in 12-17 days from the moment of germination;
• grade Pikant. Reaches economic validity in 15-20 days from germination;
• grade Zabava. Technically ripe 20-30 days after germination;
• grade Accord. Ready for use in 25-35 days from the moment of germination;
• grade Dukat. It grows in 18 days from the moment of germination.

For constant overseeding, especially in winter, the Temp variety will be ideal, which reaches technical maturity in 18-23 days.
