Is it better to grow garlic in water or soil?

When there is sufficient water, the resistance of water is less than that of soil, and nutrients can more easily enter the plant body. The initial growth is faster, but the growth will begin to slow down in the later stage.

Generally, its roots are more easily damaged than roots grown in soil. Although the growth of garlic sprouts grown in soil is slow in the early stages, the speed is stable and they can grow stronger and stronger by absorbing nutrients.

Method of hydroponic garlic sprouts

Planting method : For hydroponic garlic sprouts, first remove the fibrous roots of the garlic, string them into a row with wire, put them in a shallow container, add about 1 cm of clean water, and place it in a space not lower than 15 degrees.

Note : The growth speed of cultivated garlic sprouts is closely related to the temperature. The best temperature is between 15-25 degrees. They can be picked when they grow to about 15-20 cm. If they are left for too long, they will age.

Soil cultivation method of garlic sprouts

1. Sowing : Garlic sprouts can be sown continuously from autumn to the spring of the second year. They can be harvested in about 20 days under suitable temperature conditions. The temperature in the cultivation room should be kept at around 25 degrees. Water should be sprayed evenly 2-3 times a day, and attention should be paid to frequent ventilation.

2. Post-care : After the garlic sprouts are planted, you can maintain good sunlight exposure to provide sufficient light time for the garlic seedlings to promote rapid growth. Water regularly to keep the soil moist, and apply liquid fertilizer appropriately. When the garlic sprouts grow tall, they can be harvested.
