Wheatgrass is a nutritious supplement that provides vitamins beneficial to your health and well being. Drinking juiced wheatgrass can rid the body of toxins and boost your immune system. Once you plant your wheatgrass seeds, you will begin to see the grass sprouting in seven to 10 days. Wheatgrass can be grown either indoors or out; however, it doesn’t need sunlight to grow, and is best grown indoors to protect it from pests.
Things You'll Need
Spray bottle
Liquid seaweed fertilizer
Step 1
Place your wheatgrass in an area in your home with low-light and regulated temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fertilize the wheatgrass with a liquid seaweed fertilizer when the blades are 1 to 3 centimeters tall. Fertilize again when the grass is 5 to 10 centimeters tall. Follow the directions on the manufacturer's label for the correct amount to use.

Begin cutting blades for juicing when the blades reach 7 inches. Cut the blade completely down to the soil. Reduce the amount of water eight to 12 hours before placing the wheatgrass in a sealed container in the refrigerator to keep the wheatgrass fresh.
