Potted chives: sprinkle this after cutting, and they grow taller every time, sprouting harvest after harvest without stopping

Many gardening enthusiasts not only grow some potted flowers at home, but also grow some potted vegetables, and chives are loved by many people too. They are delicious, help stimulate the appetite, benefit human health, and are especially easy to grow. Cut one harvest and a new one quickly grows.

However, some gardening enthusiasts find that after cutting the chives, the next growth is less than the last. What is going on? Today Hua'er will explain the care needed when cutting chives: you need to achieve "taller every time", and then also sprinkle a bit of "it", so they keep growing harvest after harvest, and after each cut they grow even more.

When harvesting chives, the time is generally best set in the morning, when the leaves are more emerald green and upright, the taste is better, and it also better helps new shoots sprout. On the first cut, cut at the yellow leaf sheath 3-4cm above the bulb; each cut afterward should be slightly higher than the previous one. Only by doing this "taller every time" can you ensure normal growth, with leaves more emerald green and more luxuriant.

Note that after each cut, do not rush to fertilize and water. Instead, you need to sterilize and disinfect first: sprinkle some plant ash on the plants, then apply fertilizer water. The fertilizer can be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In the peak growing season, apply a diluted weak fertilizer once every 5 days. During care, keep the potting soil moist. In summer when the air is dry, you can spray some water on the leaves to increase humidity, so it differentiates more new shoots and grows more vigorously.

In summer, give it appropriate shade. You can set up a shade net for it to prevent overly strong light from scorching the leaves, causing dry leaf tips and yellow leaves, and affecting growth and harvest time.
