The first time I saw garlic chives being grown was in a field; they took a black plastic bucket and covered it up so it could not get any sunlight, and it was usually ready to harvest in 2 weeks. Growing it at home is simple too, just use garlic cloves directly.

Garlic chives are also said to be one of the cleanest vegetables, because during planting and growth they mainly rely on the nutrients of the mother garlic, so no fertilizer is needed during cultivation. Also, like garlic itself, they are not prone to pests and diseases, so no pesticide is needed, making them a healthy vegetable.

Garlic chives can be grown in a greenhouse or at home. The most important thing is no sunlight. If there is sunlight during growth, they will turn green and their quality will drop a lot. Otherwise they would not be called garlic chives, but garlic greens.

Garlic chives are grown from the seedlings of garlic and contain allicin, which has effects such as promoting digestion, preventing cancer and anti-aging. They look appetizing and taste tender, smooth, fresh and fragrant, making them a very popular vegetable.

Growing garlic chives at home is very simple. Peel the prepared garlic clove by clove, pick out plump, healthy garlic heads, soak them in water for one day, which helps them sprout, then plant them normally and water them thoroughly.

Garlic chives adapt to a wide range of temperatures and can grow at 10-30°C. Apart from deep winter and the dog days of summer, they can basically be grown at home all year round.

For growing garlic chives in pots, the main thing is to pay attention to shading, and a black plastic bag can be used to block light. After the garlic chives sprout, water them a little every 2-3 days. They usually take 2-3 weeks to grow into garlic chives, and they can be harvested once they grow to about 40 cm. Their growth rate is very fast.
