Among all the potted vegetables, potted leek is more popular. Why? First, it is easy to grow; second, it grows fast! Next, the potted plant stack will tell you about the tips for potted leeks, so that you don't have to buy leeks for a year.

There are two ways to plant Chinese chives in potted plants. One is to sow seeds. The other is to cultivate leek root directly.

I highly recommend that you don't start with seeds. Why? Because it is too slow to plant leeks in this way!

The leek seeds are shown in the picture. Many flower friends told me that they had sowed seeds in the balcony flowerpot, sprouting slowly, and the leek growing out was still very thin.

See, the sown leek looks like this. It grows like a toothpick. It takes at least 50 or 60 days from sprouting to growing into a sturdy leek, but those who have planted leek roots have already harvested several crops of leek.

The reason why it is recommended to pot leek with leek root is very simple! Don't worry! If it grows well, the leek leaves are wide and long, and they can be cut in twenty days.

The leek root is shown in the picture above. Curing with leek root in the balcony flowerpot, the survival rate is 100%. Even the flower friends who have killed the cactus can feed the leek.

Next, let's talk about the skills of potted leeks!

First of all, when planting leek roots, it is best to have three to five plants per clump, each clump to maintain a certain plant spacing, and cover the soil 3-5 cm after planting in a flowerpot, with a depth of not burying the sinful node.

Soil is naturally very important to raise potted leeks. It is best to prepare nutritious soil by yourself. the ratio of general culture soil is 3 parts of mature leaves, 2 parts of rotten livestock and poultry manure, 5 parts of high-quality farmland soil, or 5 parts of mature farm fertilizer, 3 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of sandy soil. After all, sufficient fertility can maintain the need for leek to grow continuously.

Then there is daily management, such as watering. Flower friends are advised to adhere to the principle of "frequently watering shallow irrigation", usually watering once according to the dry humidity of the flowerpot for 3-5 days. Keeping the basin soil moist is beneficial to the rapid growth of leek.

In addition, also remember to fertilize oh, leek requires a lot of effort, grow to 15 years or so to remember to apply some organic fertilizer, in the balcony can use some plant ash or mature bean cake. If you plant in your hometown, you don't have to worry about it, just put it on chicken and duck dung.

Finally, the harvest.

Under normal circumstances, the temperature is suitable, the leek can be cut in half a month, and the cutting should be done in the morning or evening. Use scissors to cut along the basin soil, don't worry about cutting too short to affect the next crop. Remember to loosen the soil after cutting, and if you find the soil dry, pour some water into it. Then start applying some fertilizer after a day or two, and then normal maintenance can wait for the next crop.
