Never tried to sprout my own since it is hard to find decent potting soil here in Cambodia. Good luck!

Hi Doll. You don't need potting compost. Fold over a few sheets of kitchen roll and place in a tray. Saturate the paper with water but not paper standing in water. Spread seeds on top. Place tray in a large clear plastic bag to make a tent, and loosely tuck ends under edge of tray. Put on the window sill, north facing if possible so not in direct sun. Re-dampen paper as needed.
I have not done this with sunflower seeds but it has worked with all others. Give it a try. Thank you for responding. X

Thank you so much for the tip! Will give that a try! I'll let you know how they turned out! Have a great weekend!

My pleasure. As I said, not tried it with large seeds but it works well with the smaller ones. Just keep the paper from drying out but do not let the seeds stand in water....if you know what I mean. You too have a great weekend. X

Just had another thought. Try soaking the seeds in water for a few hours first to re-hydrate and soften the outer shell, might work more quickly? :) X

It's huuuuge :) We love the multicultural vibes and of course the food. But it's not a place we'd like to stay longer than a month. So much traffic, you have to take a car or bus everywhere :p

I hear you! We are not a huge fan of traffic and cities either. We just decided to move back to Kampot after our Europe trip at the end of summer.

Good looking salad! Do you grow your own sunflower sprouts or buy them?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Thanks. Bought these since sunflower sprouts need a soil phase too and I haven't found decent potting soil yet! Spoil from the garden is to clay-like for small seedlings.

Oh wow - I've heard that sunflower sprouts are full of nutrients. I'm wondering if it's too late to plant some....

Never tried! But since you grow them for sprouts you can grow them indoors too. Have a great weekend!
