How to Make Garlic Sprout Quickly? A Detailed Guide to the Latest Methods
Garlic is very common in our daily life and on our dining tables. Garlic is now grown in all parts of our country, and when planting garlic, we first need to select good seed garlic. The quality of the seed garlic is the key to ensuring that garlic sprouts quickly, but in addition to selecting good seed garlic, there are also many methods to prompt garlic to sprout quickly. So what exactly are they? Today the editor has brought you the methods for making garlic sprout quickly. Let's take a look together below!
1. Temperature control
If you want garlic to sprout quickly, then temperature control is very important. The suitable temperature for garlic germination is generally around 16-18 degrees. If it exceeds this range, then it is very unfavorable for garlic germination. In many regions, when planting garlic, most people mainly do it in autumn, and basically around the time of the “autumn tiger”. At this time, the highest temperature can reach 30 degrees, so even if you water every day, it still takes about a week or so to sprout. And even so, the sprouting will not be uniform, especially when planting in summer. Therefore, when planting garlic, everyone must control the temperature well to ensure that garlic sprouts quickly.
2. Removing the top of the garlic clove
Removing the top of the garlic clove is also a main measure for making garlic sprout quickly. However, this poses many problems for many people, because when breaking apart the garlic cloves, various reasons can cause the bottom of the garlic clove to retain its top. And the garlic top is very hard, so if it is not removed, then it is very unfavorable for garlic rooting and sprouting. Therefore, when breaking apart garlic cloves, everyone must pay attention to removing the garlic top. If it is difficult to remove by hand, then you can soak it in clean water until the small hole in the middle of the garlic can be seen, but be careful not to damage the garlic's embryo bud.

Before sowing garlic, we can soak the seed garlic in clean water to promote germination, and this can also prompt garlic to sprout quickly. This method is very simple to carry out and is suitable for all growers. After breaking apart the seed garlic cloves, directly place them in clean, unpolluted water and soak for about two days. Then take them out and place them in moist fine sand, or cover them with fine soil for about three days. But after the root bud part of the seed garlic turns white, and once the white part exceeds half, it can be sown. After this treatment, seedlings can emerge about five days after sowing.
4. Low-temperature treatment
As just mentioned, a high-temperature environment is very unfavorable for garlic germination. So we need to carry out low-temperature treatment on the seed garlic to break its dormancy period, which can achieve the goal of making garlic sprout quickly. First soak the seed garlic in cold water for about 7-9 hours, then take it out and put it in a bag, and place it in a low-temperature environment for about a week. After more than half of the seed garlic root buds turn white, it can be sown. It can also be spread directly in a cool and humid environment, with the thickness kept at about 10cm, then spray water frequently, and turn it once every three days or so. Letting the garlic cloves receive water evenly can promote quick garlic germination.
The above is a brief introduction to the methods for making garlic sprout quickly. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can be helpful to everyone!
