What are the key points of hydroponic techniques? Step-by-step illustrated guide to hydroponic garlic

  Garlic is a vegetable that people generally love. The parts used for food include green garlic, garlic scapes, and garlic cloves. Whether it is green garlic or garlic scapes and cloves, they all have a special pungent odor. Its active ingredient is allicin, and it also contains pyruvic acid and ammonia. That is to say, from the time garlic sprouts from a bulb until it grows into a garlic bulb again, no toxic substances are produced during the transformation of nutritional components in the plant at each growth stage.

  In fact, if the garlic has sprouted and you have bought too much, you can cultivate it in water. It can be enjoyed as an ornamental plant, and after the garlic has grown tall, you can eat the garlic sprouts. It is both economical and practical.

  Hydroponic garlic has always been very common in China. For younger gardening enthusiasts, hydroponic garlic methods still need to draw on the experience of other gardening enthusiasts. This article is the experience of a gardening enthusiast in making a hydroponic garlic bonsai, for the reference of gardening enthusiasts. The steps for making a hydroponic garlic bonsai are as follows:

  Materials: sprouted garlic; container, unrestricted, any kind of container will do, with a plate or bowl being most suitable! Time: late September to the following Spring Festival, with October to December being the best time!

  The steps/methods are as follows:

  1. Choose suitable garlic. Generally, garlic with a high degree of plumpness is of better quality. Press the surface of the garlic with your hand. If it is too soft or has depressions, that indicates the garlic may already be rotten, and this kind of garlic cannot be used for hydroponics.

  2. Peel off the outer skin, choose a pretty plate and put the garlic in it, arrange them together, with the garlic cloves directly exposed, and place them in a container (a relatively large container can be used)! Some can be properly squeezed together to make the garlic stand upright.
