Materials:
- Potting soil
- A head of garlic
- A pot with drainage holes
Steps:
- Prepare the Pot:
- Choose a pot with drainage holes to ensure proper water flow.
- Fill the pot with nutrient-rich potting soil.
- Plant Cloves:
- Break apart a head of garlic into individual cloves.
- Plant each clove 2.5 cm deep, spacing them 10 cm apart.
- Make sure the tips of the cloves are slightly exposed above the soil.
- Position and Water:
- Place the pot in a location with full sunlight, as garlic requires 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.
- Water lightly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
- Care:
- Pinch off any blossoms to redirect energy to bulb growth.
- When the leaves turn yellow and start to die back, it’s time to harvest.
- After harvesting, dry the garlic in a warm, dry place for a week.
By following these steps, you can grow garlic endlessly in a pot while benefiting from its nutritional richness.
