Hi Nicola,
Thanks for choosing us, and good luck with your first microgreen growing experience! Yes you can grow them in a small pot indoors, they are generally grown indoors. You can learn generally about how to get started with microgreens here: https://www.littlegreengrowers.ie/post/how-to-grow-microgreens
For onion microgreens surface sow them over the soil so they cover it without touching each other, to sprout densely, like grass! You don't need to soak them before sowing. Cover them with another tray, or a plate to keep the light out and weight on them for about 3 days until you see they are sprouting. Then remove the cover. Keep moist but once they've sprouted, bottom water the tray so as to minimise chance of fungus. They will be ready to harvest in about 2-3 weeks. You might even get a second harvest as they can regrow from the roots left behind.
Happy growing!
Great info thank you
