We all know that garlic is very easy to sprout after being left for a few days. Although the garlic has sprouted, it is still edible, but its taste will be different. In fact, we can plant sprouted garlic. Today I will teach you the simplest way to grow garlic. You only need to use a disposable paper cup. Let's take a look at how it works!
First, we take a whole garlic plant, and then peel off the outer skin of the garlic. If the outer skin is peeled off, the garlic will sprout and grow more easily, and it will not rot easily.
Next, let's take another disposable paper cup. We usually use this disposable cup to drink water. After drinking the water, we will throw it into the trash can. In fact, we can use this disposable cup. cups to grow garlic.
Pour a small amount of soil into the paper cup first, then put a little of the garlic skin we just peeled off into the soil, so that there is one layer of soil and one layer of garlic skin, and fill the disposable cup.
Many friends may ask, why put the outer skin of garlic in the soil? In fact, the outer skin of garlic is rich in potassium and phosphorus, and these two elements are needed for plant growth.
After the soil is installed, we only need to place the garlic root side down on top of the soil. Then we will water. If you water for the first time, you can water a little more to thoroughly water the soil. This method of growing garlic is very simple. We only need to place it on the balcony or windowsill, water it occasionally during this period, and our garlic will be planted.
When the garlic grows to the third day, we can find that the garlic has sprouted. Then after a week, the garlic seedlings have grown a bit tall. When the garlic seedlings are fully grown, we can use scissors to cut them off and use them as garnishes. The garlic will continue to grow.
The garlic we grow like this can not only be used as a condiment, but also placed on the balcony or windowsill, and can also be used as a potted plant. It really serves multiple purposes. Don't be in a hurry to eat garlic when it sprouts in the future. We only need to take a disposable paper cup to plant it. It is very simple and practical.
