care instructions

Thinning:Do not thin out

Pruning:Check the roots monthly and trim them back by about 1/3 if necessary. To delay bolting, cut off yellow flowering stems as soon as they appear.

Harvest:To best grow arugula and minimize its bitter taste, harvest the plant whole. When the outer leaves are about 5-7 centimeters tall, cut them all off at the base.
If you want a continuous harvest, cut the outer leaves at this height to allow the inner leaves to continue growing. Larger leaves tend to be more bitter. Avoid harvesting more than 1/3 of the plant at once if you want the plant to continue growing.

Characteristics

Also known as salad rocket, this leafy vegetable has a zesty, nutty flavor when harvested young, which becomes spicier and eventually more bitter as the leaves grow larger. Like most dark leafy greens, arugula contains a variety of nutrients, including vitamins A, C and K, as well as calcium, potassium, folate and iron. With 62 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams, it even surpasses that of an orange.

use

Arugula is an extremely versatile green, fresh or cooked. It is great as a base for a mixed salad, in sandwiches and as a topping on pizzas or omelets. Add it fresh as a topping on the dish just before serving.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    ARE THE SEEDS ORGANIC?

    All seeds at Everleaf are non-GMO and organically grown as much as possible. But don't worry, the plants you grow are still free of pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, plant hormones or other suspect substances! We have tested all the plants in our range long and hard to ensure that you have a successful growing experience.

    We also offer you the option to purchase empty plant capsules from us so that you can grow your own seeds and varieties.

    CAN I USE MY OWN SEEDS?

    Sure! We not only offer filled plant capsules, but also empty capsules so you can use your own seeds.

    WHAT IS THE SUBSTRATE MADE OF?

    For our substrate we only use 100% compostable coconut fibers - completely free of peat and therefore harmless to nature.

    WILL MORE VARIETIES BE OFFERED IN THE FUTURE?

    Of course! The current range is just the beginning. We are constantly testing new varieties and plan to offer more varieties soon. Feel free to share your ideas for new plants with us!

    How does the 100% germination guarantee work?

    If one or more of your plants haven't germinated after 30 days, you will, of course, receive a credit for the affected plant – no exceptions. The amount will be credited to your customer account and can be automatically redeemed with your next order.

    To claim the germination guarantee, please email us at hi@myeverleaf.com and attach a photo of the substrate carefully torn open in the middle, revealing the seeds. This will help us understand the possible cause and continually improve our germination rates.

    Because sustainability is important to us, we don't ship non-germinated plants individually, but instead offset them with a credit note on your next order. This way, we avoid unnecessary packaging and transport – for the sake of the environment.
