As everyone's quality of life improves, we now have more and more free time. Many people have started growing flowers and plants, or simply find a small yard to grow some vegetables and fruits. Those without a yard will also grow some plants and vegetables in pots on their balconies in their apartment buildings. Potted flowers and potted vegetables are actually not that different. Nowadays, the pesticide residues in vegetables on the market cannot be guaranteed, so growing some yourself in pots seems more suitable. For potted vegetables, we must grow some varieties that are easy to keep alive, easy to manage, and quick to harvest. You might say that sprout vegetables, chives and so on can all be grown in pots! However, next, Potted Plant Station shares with you this potted plant, which is truly a good thing. It is simple to manage in pots, and its nutritional value is very high!

This potted plant needs no soil and no fertilizer, can grow 100 jin per square meter, is harvested in two months, and is super nutritious

Can you tell what vegetable it is? Perhaps many people have not even eaten it yet. It is a very high-end vegetable variety. It is called "Golden Magnolia Vegetable" because of its high value, one jin sells for seventy or eighty yuan, so it is also called "Golden Vegetable." It is actually a variant of wild "chicory." You all probably know chicory. It is also a health vegetable and a Chinese medicinal herb, and it is rich in amino acids, vitamins, carotene and calcium. The value of Golden Magnolia Vegetable naturally benefits from this as well.

How to care for chicory (Golden Magnolia Vegetable)

Now it has been developed into large-scale cultivation, after all, many people have seen the business opportunity. Large-scale cultivation is just like the picture above: no flower pots, no nutrient soil, and unlike growing potted flowers, it even skips fertilizing. That is because from planting to harvesting it is all "soilless cultivation." The advantage of soilless cultivation is that it can reduce pests, diseases and bacteria, allowing it to truly be a green vegetable.

Is it suitable to grow chicory in pots on a balcony

Of course it is. All plants, flowers or vegetables can be grown in pots. Chicory is naturally no exception. On the balcony we can clear a square meter of space, then use wooden frames to build a square. Since soilless cultivation is not easy for us to manage, we can also grow it with half soil and half water. Put a thin layer of leaf mold or special flower soil on the bottom, then add tap water on top. But remember one thing: it must be shaded. It grows better in a lightless environment, so you can cover it with a black plastic bag. In addition, the weather is turning cooler now, so remember to keep it warm. You can place some straw around the wooden frame. With proper care, it can be harvested in two or three months.

When growing it in a pot, if you see the chicory sprouts grow to 15 cm, then it is ready to harvest. Just cut it with a knife at the junction of the root and stem. After cutting, continue cultivating the root, and after one or two months you can cut another crop. The above is the knowledge about the super high-value potted chicory. Thank you for reading!
