To grow garlic with water, choose a pot suitable for hydroponics, select garlic seeds and put them in the pot, pour an appropriate amount of water, change the water and add water.
1. Choose a pot suitable for hydroponics
Try to use transparent glass bottles or open porcelain pots. The advantage of hydroponics is that you can observe the growth of the roots. , so glass bottles are most suitable.
2. Select garlic seeds and put them in the pot.
The requirements for garlic seeds are similar to those of soil culture. Garlics that are large and have no damage on the surface are easy to grow, and if the garlic has sprouted Tender sprouts are more suitable for hydroponics.
3. Pour an appropriate amount of water.
Pour water until the bottom of the garlic seeds can absorb the water. Put the tip of the garlic upwards. This is the part where garlic seedlings will grow in the future. .
4. Change the water and add water
In fact, it is also possible to just add water without changing the water. Hydroponics consumes more water than soil culture, so water needs to be added every 2 days, etc. Once the roots have grown, they will be able to absorb water on their own, so you don’t have to be so diligent in adding water.
Notes
Garlic is oblate spherical or short cone-shaped, with off-white or light brown membranous scales on the outside. Peel off the scale leaves and there will be 6 to 10 garlic cloves inside. Born around the flower stem, the base of the stem is disc-shaped and has many fibrous roots. Each garlic clove is wrapped with a thin film. Peel off the thin film and you will see white, thick and juicy scales.
Garlic seedlings generally grow well in one to two months. Remember to pinch the seedlings in time to harvest. If you like to eat young seedlings, you can pinch the seedlings earlier. The garlic seedlings should be pinched more than 2cm away from the roots, so that new garlic seedlings can emerge. In addition, remember to clean the pot regularly, especially for hydroponics. Green hair will grow in the pot over time, so it must be cleaned to prevent the growth of bacteria.
