Planting Garlic In The Pot

Garlic is grown on farms, but can also be planted in pots. To plant it in a pot we need a planting medium fertile soil. Seedlings can be taken from the cloves, or buy a special cloves for breeding in the agricultural market. Fertilizers are used is equal to fertilizer flowers. Conditions of grown garlic can be read here.

How to choose a good cloves:

• Separate garlic into cloves
• Insert cloves in water
• Take all the sinks
• Choose a medium-sized cloves, hard and shiny for seedlings.

After getting a good clove, then we will prepare a pot. Use small pots - medium so that the concentration of fertilizer is more controlled. Each pot was filled only one clove of garlic. Here's how to build a pot to plant garlic:

• Wash the pot with clean water to remove chemicals that may be stuck to the surface.
• Fill the bottom of the pot with gravel up to ¼ part
• Next fill with fertile soil + compost (1 : 1) fulfill ¾ of the pot
• Flush pot with water, the water content of 60%, (the soil moist but not dripping water)
• Place the pot in the shade during the day.

Now the pots ready for planting, take garlic cloves, plug it into the ground, leaving the tip of garlic for the growth of new shoots. In a pot filled only with one cloves, if we want to plant some pots then prepare enough. One clove will grow into a clump of garlic.

On the first day, flush pot to taste and place it in the shade. On the first day of fertilization is not done, now we just plant the cloves. Fertilization will be done after 9-day-old garlic, which has grown shoots as high as 3 cm. Garlic were given as much as 10 grams of organic fertilizer. Young garlic are put in the shade until the age of 14 days, after which it can be moved out of the room, got the sun in the morning.

We do not use pesticides because garlic including pest-resistant plants. Spraying pesticides is only done on garlic are cultivated commercially. For potted plants, pest control is done manually, take a host of pests and destroy. Control of potted plants more easily than plants in the agricultural area.

After the stems grow up, become more fertilizer. Pot also need to be watered every day, garlic including plants that require a lot of water for the development of bulbs and stems. Garlic in the pot can be harvested after 100 days, used for seasoning and medicinal herbs. Sometimes garlic generate interest, when it should be harvested soon.
