The simplest method to grow leeks on the home balcony is as follows:

Material preparation: idle flower pots, seeds, water, soil, nitrogen fertilizer, etc.

1. The container for growing leeks on the balcony at home can use an idle flower pot. If there is no flower pot, you can find a container with a gap below to drain excess water for planting leeks.

2. Go to the market and buy some seeds or just buy leeks, which can be used as seeds. You can plant the seeds directly after buying them, but it is best to soak the seeds in water for a day and then spread them flatly on the soil.

3. The germination period of leeks grown from seeds will be a bit slow. We can put the sown containers in a ventilated place, and we will see leek sprouts in about a week. Leeks grow faster after they sprout, and the demand for nutrients is also relatively strong at this time, so you can fertilize and water appropriately at this time.

4. It is best to use nitrogen fertilizer to fertilize leeks. Leeks that have been fertilized usually grow wider, while those that have not been fertilized are usually smaller than those that have been fertilized, so fertilization is still more important.

5. The leeks can be harvested when they grow to 10cm. If not harvested in time, leeks will grow older and older, affecting their taste. However, when harvesting, be sure not to harvest them all by the roots. The leeks will continue to grow if the roots are left, harvesting one crop after another.
