When is the best time to plant chives?

Leek planting time

Leek is suitable for planting in spring, summer and autumn. The best planting time is between March and May in spring. The temperature during this period can be stable between 15 and 18 degrees, which is conducive to germination and convenient for management. Greenhouse technology is now very common and the technology is mature, so it can be planted in all seasons.

Leek Planting Method

1. Soak the seeds for germination: When sowing leeks, you must first germinate the seeds. Place the seeds in the light to dry for a day or two, then soak them in warm water. Control the water temperature, which should be around 30 degrees. Soak for 8 to 10 hours. After the embryonic roots inside extend out, you can sow them.

2. Reasonable sowing: The sowing method of leek is very simple. Just sprinkle the soaked and germinated seeds directly on the soil surface. After sowing, cover them with a layer of soil, water them thoroughly, and then cover them with plastic film. This can play a good role in heat preservation and moisturizing. As long as the temperature is suitable in the later stage, seedlings can grow in about a week. After the seedlings emerge, just lift the plastic film.

Things to note when planting chives

If you want leek to grow more vigorously, you need to strengthen management in the later stage. When new leaves grow, you need to add water and moisturize it in time. You need to add fertilizer once a month. You can use nitrogen fertilizer. It is best to dilute the fertilizer liquid before watering so that it can be absorbed faster. In addition, you must also remove weeds in the plot in time.
