How to Grow Garlic: Learn the Correct Planting Method

Select some healthy, plump garlic cloves, soak them in warm water for 12 hours, then take them out and peel off the outer skin, sow them in the soil at a spacing of 20*16cm between plants and rows, finally cover with soil and water lightly. If you have garlic that has sprouted at home, you can break the sprouted garlic apart, then plant the upward-facing end into the soil. After sowing, carry out basic management tasks such as weeding, watering and fertilizing, and pest and disease control, and garlic sprouts will grow.

How to grow garlic in pots:

1. Prepare the pot and soil

It is best to plant garlic in autumn, as suitable temperatures will lead to more vigorous growth later on. Prepare a larger flower pot; a ceramic pot or clay pot will both work. Normal garden soil can be used, and it is best to add an appropriate amount of fertilizer, which is more conducive to growth. Once prepared, put it into the flower pot for later use.

2. Choose the garlic

When planting, choose garlic heads that are free of pests and diseases and undamaged, then break them apart, taking care not to damage the outer skin; for pot cultivation, plant them together with the skin on.

3. Plant into the soil

Before planting, moisten the soil with water first, then plant the garlic heads directly into the soil, planting them one by one separately, with the garlic head facing down and the pointed end facing up, not too deep. Also note that they should not be too close together; leave a certain gap. Because they will expand after absorbing water, being too close will affect growth and development.

4. Care after planting

The growth and development of garlic cannot be separated from water and light. After planting, they will take root and sprout within a few days. Once the surface layer of the soil is found to be dry, replenish water promptly, and always keep it moist, but be careful not to let water accumulate. Also place it in a spot with good light; it can be kept on a balcony, and garlic sprouts will grow faster when exposed to light. Later, fertilizer can be applied once a month, and remember to dilute the fertilizer first. When the seedlings reach a certain height, they can be cut and eaten.
