How to plant leek seeds in flowerpots at home

Methods of planting shallots in flowerpots at home: planting methods, planting management, soil selection, water and fertilizer management, and picking matters.

1, planting mode

Two common planting methods of shallots are seed planting and rhizome planting. As a family potted plant, it takes a long time to select seeds and it is more troublesome to plant them. Poor treatment will affect the germination rate, so it is recommended to choose rhizome planting.

2. Planting management

Rootstocks are particularly easy to plant. The rhizome we bought is basically the same as the edible garlic cloves. Because of its strong vitality, it can be planted directly without any treatment, and the survival rate is high whether it is potted or planted in the ground.

3. Soil selection

We only choose to plant shallots in pure garden soil, but here we still suggest that you choose seedling substrate, because in this nutrient-rich and transparent substrate, shallots will grow better. When planting, the roots are directly buried in the flower soil, and the covering amount will be just before the root bud point.

4. Water and fertilizer management

After planting, water it, and then you can directly put it in a sunny place for maintenance. Basically, long leaves can germinate in about 1 week. Because shallots are drought-resistant and barren, they don't need much water and fertilizer at ordinary times. If fertilizing, I suggest you choose some organic fertilizers.

5. Selection is very important

The tillering ability of shallots is particularly strong, so when we use them, we can directly use scissors to cut them near the top of the soil 1 cm. After cutting off the aboveground parts, the shallots will soon grow new branches, so that we can eat and cut at the same time and eat them all year round.

However, because each leek crop needs to consume a lot of nutrients, it is suggested that you add some organic fertilizer or special fertilizer for fruits and vegetables after cutting, so that the next crop will grow better.
