Potted chives keep growing after each harvest, staying green and filling the pot year after year
On a balcony, you can grow some vegetables, which can green up your home, beautify the environment, and provide a continuous harvest to eat, killing two birds with one stone. On a balcony, you can grow a pot of chives, harvest once and they keep growing back, filling the pot year after year, greener and more beautiful than flowers, and they are especially easy to care for.
Chives are probably a vegetable that many people enjoy eating. They can be stir-fried or used to make dumplings, and they are very delicious and widely loved. Growing chives in pots is also very simple.
You can use the seed-sowing method. Chives are very fond of fertilizer, so you need to add a certain amount of base fertilizer to the soil, such as decomposed chicken manure. You can use garden soil mixed with leaf mold and decomposed chicken manure.
You can wet the soil the night before to ensure the soil is moist when sowing the next day. Sow the seeds evenly in the soil and cover with a shallow layer of soil. They will sprout in ten days. However, chives planted in the first year are very thin, known as "seedling chives," and have strong ornamental value. They are also very fragrant when picked to eat. They are a perennial vegetable, coming back every year, but the downside is that growing from seed is too slow.
Besides sowing seeds, you can also buy some chive roots and bury them directly in prepared soil, keeping the soil moist during this period. This method grows very quickly, and you can harvest them to eat very soon, and they will keep growing back, which is very convenient.
Growing chives in pots is very simple and does not require special care. Place them in a sunny location, keep the soil moist, and apply organic fertilizer once a month, and they will grow even more vigorously.
