Growing grass indoors is a great way to welcome
spring into your home. In addition, growing grass is a simple thing you can do
with your children that they will really enjoy. Not only is it fun to plant the
grass seeds, but it's even more fun to trim the grass once it's grown.
Select the appropriate type of grass seed. There
are tons of varieties, so choose one that fits your home's strengths. Rye and
Wheat grasses are popular choices for potted arrangements for their thicker
blades. Sprinkle the surface of the soil with the grass seeds. Cover the
surface almost completely with the seeds, and do not force them into the
soil. Mist the seeds every other day. You should start to see growth within a
week, or in some cases within a couple of days.
Find a suitable container. Place a fine layer of
gravel or pebbles on the bottom of your container. This will help the water
drain.
Mix the soil with mulch, if the soil does not
have mulch added to it already. Fill the container up to about an inch from the
top.
Make sure the seeds get a lot of warm sun.
Placing them on a sunny windowsill is best.
After blades are an inch or so in height, water
lightly and evenly every few days. I've had the best results by watering until
the soil is damp but no water is sitting above the soil line.
