A Method of Cultivating Garlic in Water

In recent years, there has been a new type of cultivation method, that is, hydroponic technology, which is not like traditional soil cultivation, hydroponics is planted in water. At present, this technology is used in many vegetables, garlic is one of them, and the quality of garlic cultured in water is also very high.

The method of hydroponic culture of garlic

1. If you take garlic, you can peel off the cloves and put them in a container, which is suitable for smaller containers. You can also peel off the outermost skin of garlic and directly expose the cloves and put them in the container.

2. Directly add water and soak the bottom of the garlic, which is conducive to rooting.

3. Usually change the water every 1 to 2 days to keep the water fresh. In the initial stage, the water can not be changed for 3 consecutive days to facilitate fixation. After rooting and fixing, the frequency of changing water can be more frequent.

4. Generally, after hydroponic culture, it can take root on the same day, and green can be seen after 2-4 days.

Matters needing attention in hydroponic garlic culture

1. The temperature of 10-25 ℃ is suitable for the growth of garlic leaves.

2. The bulb disk at the bottom of garlic is the place to grow roots in the future. If there is no bulb disk, it is impossible to take root and grow leaves.

3. If a petal is broken, then each flap must have a bulb disc.

4. Be careful when peeling, don't hurt the garlic, if there is any injury, the broken place will rot and mildew later.

5. You can use water to cultivate the hyacinth container, this container is better to fix garlic cloves, you can also use washing vegetable blue.

6. Put the bulbs of garlic cloves face down and put them neatly in the basket. Don't be too crowded, because you will have to expand after meeting the water. At the beginning, do not change water, just add water, so as to avoid confusion.

7. Find a container of the right size and pour into the water so that the surface of the water can touch the bulb plate.

8. The roots will grow in about 4 or 5 days, and the water can be changed regularly later. Generally, it can be harvested in about 30 days. Cut off the garlic leaves and wait for the next growth.

Maintenance method of hydroponic garlic

1. The initial stage of hydroponics (0,5 days): the main thing is to let the garlic cloves take root, only add water, do not change water, so as not to mess it up. Under normal circumstances, all the seedlings can be produced within 5 days of hydroponic culture.

2. The middle stage of hydroponic culture (5-45 days): during this period, the garlic root has been completely fixed and easy to maintain. It only needs to change the water regularly. It is recommended to change the water every 5-7 days. Usually, after two weeks of hydroponic culture, a good ornamental effect can be achieved (the garlic seedling forest is initially formed). If it is allowed to grow fully, then during the period of 25-35 days of hydroponic culture, it is the best time to harvest the first stubble, leaving garlic cloves and roots, and then germinate again.

3. Later stage of water culture (45 days later): during this period, it is generally the growth time of the second crop of garlic seedlings (the premise is to harvest after full growth). At this time, the garlic root is easy to produce green algae, and it is necessary to clean the root system for 1 or 2 times during the change of water. At this time, it is easy to rot or shrink the garlic cloves, if found, it will be removed in time. This is also the time when hydroponic garlic is easy to give off odor. the effective way to deal with it is to increase the number of times of changing water (from once every 5 to 7 days to once every 2 to 3 days). When changing water, remove rotten or shrunken garlic cloves. Usually, after the last crop of garlic seedlings are fully grown, the roots will be harvested thoroughly. When the roots are harvested, this round of hydroponic garlic is completely over.

Harvest of garlic in hydroponic culture

Generally, 2-3 stubble can be harvested continuously, the first few stubble can only take more than the part of garlic cloves (white stem), and the last stubble can be harvested directly from the root. The last harvest standard: when the nutrition of garlic cloves in the water is completely exhausted, as long as the season is right, you can proceed to the next round of garlic hydroponic culture, the method is the same as above. Generally from October to the Spring Festival of the following year, you can continue hydroponic training for 3-4 rounds, each of which can last for 40-50 days, ensuring that green garlic seedlings can be enjoyed continuously from late autumn to early spring.

The method of hydroponic garlic is relatively simple. When choosing garlic, you should choose the one of good quality. Be careful when you remove the garlic skin. If you break it, it will rot. It is also necessary to timely change the water in the container to ensure its growth environment and promote its healthy growth.
